Posted by anonymous | March 16, 2019 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Amazing experience with Mr. Rier

I was being charged with a DUI recently and my case was particularly difficult because I could not plea or get a DUI conviction because I am a Dreamer, DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient and a DUI would not let me renew my DACA which in terms would mean I could get deported. I ha...ve never been in a situation like this and I was pretty frighten but the confidence and assurance that Mr. Rier gave me every time I met him kept me at ease. Not only did I get an amazing treatment from the staff, I was also able to meet with Mr. Rier and his colleague whenever I had questions and concerns, and was informed every step of the way of how things would go. The day we went to court for trial was very difficult for me, since this is a very serious situation I found myself in but once again, the professionalism and charisma that Mr. Rier presented kept me calm and composed. Watching him at work was like nothing I've seen before. He was able to confidently fight my case and present facts and questions that made it evident that I should not get a guilty conviction and after about an hour of deliberation, the jury came with just that. Not guilty. I highly recommend working with Mr. Rier and his law firm. Although none of us hope to find ourselves in this sort of situation, its comforting to know that there are hard working and very knowledgeable people out there like Mr. Rier who can help you in these difficult situations.

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Andrew Rier to represent me in Tallahassee, Fl. I am a convicted felon and was being charged with possession of a firearm, ammunition, and possession of crack cocaine. The state attorney wanted me to serve prison time but I only received one year probation! Mr. Rier and his team continuously... stayed in contact with my fiancé, providing updates about the case. My opinions regarding the case were valued. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure the best outcome! Mr. Rier is a BEAST in the courtroom, best attorney no doubt!

Andy and his team are AWESOME!!!

We were referred to Andrew Rier and I called the same day and he was able to meet right away. He showed up the very next day after he was hired and hasn't stopped working on the case since. We were facing a no bond situation and Andy and his paralegal Christie were able to get the bond approved. And...y knows his stuff and is awesome in the courtroom. Christie really invests her time and effort into knowing everything about your case. He and his team will fight for you till the end. We are confidant that Andy will be able to get us the outcome we are needing. If you are considering hiring Andy, don't think twice, just do it. He is AWESOME!!!!!

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.

BEST IN THE GAME

I was recently incarcerated and facing a life sentence prior to hiring the Rier Jordan P.A my previous attorney was trying to force me to take a plea. So that’s when I decided to hire the Rier Jordan P.A because I heard so much about them and that was the best decision I could have ever made. From my... first time meeting them they promised me that they was going to put forth there best effort and bring me home and that’s exactly what they did. There presence in the courtroom was amazing and I was very satisfied with the way they handled took charge and won the case. Right now I’m a free man because of the stellar job that the Rier Jordan P.A did I would recommend them to anybody in a situation that needs a lawyer. In my opinion there the best in the game and I’m very thankful for them.

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."
