Job well done!

Mr Rier got our criminal case dismissed! He is very knowledgeable and skilled with the law. In addition, he paid close attention to the details of our case and kept us informed every step of the way.

Highly Professional

I needed an attorney at the last minute and Mr. Rier came highly recommended. He came to court prepared as if he had been working on my case for more than just a couple of hours. Against all odds, he managed to get things moving in my favor sooner than usual. This is an attorney who knows the syst...em very well. I trust that in the end with Mr. Rier by my side, my case will go expeditiously and my family will be reunited.

Bulldog in the courtroom

Andy is the most aggressive lawyers I have ever seen, he intimidates the prosecutors by his size and the way he speaks. He knows what's wrong and right and will always get his point across in the court room. I hired Andy after I was charged with first degree attempted murder and was finally granted a... bond months later. Three years down the line my case was dismissed.

AWESOME ATTORNEY!

After meeting with Andrew Rier it wasn't a doubt in my mind in hiring him after that for my husband who needed an attorney. He is very knowledgable along with his staff & went through different scenarios & really made us feel a little more at ease in our situation considering the circumstances. Just ...seeing him at a bond hearing alone & seeing him in attaction really made us feel like we made a good choice by hiring him. He's confident & really took the stand for his client (my husband) and we left coming out with what we intended for.. We are still continuing to work with him & have really been pleased thus far. They have really been there to answer any of our questions no matter the time of day & looking forward for all of this to be over soon but feeling great that we are in the right hands. He is definitely a must hire!

"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."
