Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness

I hired Mr. Rier about 3 years ago for a Possession of firearm case. Over the past three years Mr. Rier provided me with exceptional service. Mr. Rier is a quality lawyer who is also very professional, knowledgeable and understanding. He was always attentive to my matters, I always had a very good co...mmunication with him. He showed compassion to my case, which few lawyers do. When I left messages, he always responded right away. He took charge of my case and I have to say that I felt safe and sure that Mr. Rier was going to handle my case and fight for me and he did. Mr. Rier was able to have my case dismissed. Thank you for being the light at the end of a dark period in my life! I would recommend Mr. Rier to anyone facing any criminal charges.

Mr. Rier was the perfect legal representative for my criminal case. He was courteous, knowledable, and extremely patient with me & my lack of the legal system. Andy, as I got to know him ensured I was fairly represented by him & his team. May his assistant worked tiredlessly & diligently to ensure... all my documents & filing applications were complete, orderly & timely submitted. I highly recommend this law tem to any person in need of honest, hard working legal representation. Because of Andy & his team, my case was resolved & my wrongful charges dismissed. Andy & May I & my family thank you for you & your quality service in my time of need.

Satisfying customer

Upon talking to Johnathan about my case he stated he would do what he could to keep me out of jail I suddenly no longer felt that knot in my stomach due to the fact many lawyers would have sold me the moon and stars to gain you as an client my felony case has been on going for Trafficking,misdemeanor... paraphernalia etc with no resolution insight after two days of having my case he had done more then 2 p.d and my paid attorney Abe Bailey had for over an year. Mr. Jordan did exactly what an paid lawyer suppose to do he found the best resolution for my case all while managing to keep me out of jail an with my family. thank you Mr. rier as well very nice and humorous an Michele for the great customer service every time no matter how many times I called

The best criminal lawyer in South Fl.

Andrew Rier was initially hired by my brother. I was pulled in and had to speak with Andrew once my brother was detained. He understands the assignment(s) and delivers. He is funny and really tries to get you comfortable with him to build a trusting relationship. He handled 2 cases for my brother st...ate and federal. Ex on 1 case: My brother had a DUI state case and was looking at charges of up to 4 yrs with a previous attorney. I had that attorney fired and hired Andrew Rier for the case. like previously stated this is an attorney who WORKS for the benefit of his clients. My brother's case ended with 6 months probation instead of 4 yrs in state prison. There are many attorneys who are incompetent and are there to collect your money, keeping you in an emotional prison regarding your case. They feed you BS on what they can do, yet they openly prove that you need to question if they even work to win. This attorney lays it all on the line for you. His office is friendly and you can call him at any time. I also had the pleasure of working with Molena and she is also amazing. This law firm has integrity and can be trusted. All parties are invested and when you walk into the office you will see stories of his successful cases. Do not hesitate and reach out to this law firm. You won't be sorry. If your an individual that unfortunately did some mistakes with those PPP LOANS you better put him on speed dial, he is the man. He told me personally although he wins cases for his client, he feels more obligated to work hard seeing the people who love them. Unfortunately people we love do things where we have to come in and help. This is a true story with an happy outcome. thank you Attorney Andrew Rier

Unmatched

I honestly don’t even know where to start but here goes. I hired Mr Rier about a year ago so around April of 2020. During this time my brother has been sitting in jail over 2 years, 1st degree premeditated, attempted murder and shooting in vehicle. At this time we had 2 lawyers on the case who was as...leep most of the times, and that’s me trying to be polite. Anyways Mr. Rier was recommended by a cell mate of my brother so I decided to call the office and scheduled a meeting. Let’s just say his previous lawyers got fired IMMEDIATELY. Mr Rier went above and beyond and have work tirelessly on his case, and believe in my brother’s innocence before even meeting the family.

"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."
