Great lawyer

My name is jhimer holguin and in 2015 i was arrested in miami,my charges were trafficking, money laundering and holding to magistrate.i was desperate,confused and depressed i had never been arrested it was my first time in jail i just got mixed up with the wrong people not saying i was innocent but ...not to the extention of what the law was saying... while i was in jail i met a guy,he was talking wonders about his lawyer and so glad i listened..i was facing a minimum of 3 years and an maximum of 15 years,for 2 years this group of lawyers fought for me! Idk how many court dates,depositions, meetings with detectives and prosecutors, finally this man got me off with just probation wich is something that's unheard of.. this guy is a pitbull in court don't hesitate to hire him because when your freedom is at stake you want the best and that's what this group of lawyers are... THANK YOU ANDREW!!

Getting Results with Superior Preparation

Mr. Rier is the best trial attorney that I have encountered or retain through out my criminal career. Unlike 99% of criminal law practitioners, Mr. Rier has invested in maintaining a staff consisting of other experienced attorneys, paralegals and legal secretaries, that help him meticulously prepare... cases for trial. My particular situation involved my being arrested for a PBL, while in possession of narcotics, when I had an open trafficking case in a neighboring county. The State offered me a double digit universal plea agreement. My initial attorney, that was handling my first drug case, tried to talk me into taking that plea. In time, I fired that attorney and hired Mr. Rier. Understand my first attorney was a solo criminal practitioner who had only a legal secretary as staff and as such took peoples money with no real ability to prepare cases as needed. Get this, for the same money as the first attorney, Mr. Rier prepared all three of my cases for trial inside 8 months and that 10+ years universal plea deal became less than five with papers. Mr. Rier was ready to go and the State got a whole lot more reasonable. Bottom line, Mr Rier's sharp mind, reputation as a trial attorney and his staff's assistance preparing his client's cases for trial, results in more favorable outcomes for criminal defendants who retain his services. I was supremely satisfied with Mr. Rier's services and recommend him to any and all criminal defendants.

Trustworthy, great lawyer.

This lawyer has won several criminal cases. He has other lawyers who work with him as well who are very knowledgeable. The Paralegals in the office always work on getting the work done. This Lawyer has lots of cases and its because of how good he works. I highly recommend this lawyer for a traffi...cking case, murder case, robbery case, and of course stand your ground motion case. He was the first lawyer in Miami-Dade to win the stand your ground motion case.

"I strongly endorse Andy. He literally pulled a miracle by winning a murder trial where the evidence was overwhelming in which I had the co-Defendant and due to his skills, my client's case also got dismissed. Andy is also one of few attorneys in Miami who is never afraid to go to trial and gets the results for his clients."
