Great lawyer, better person

I worked with various lawyers during my case before meeting Andrew, and they're all talk no results, but Andrew delivers. At first my case seemed challenging and almost impossible to win, so when my lawyers didn't do much the first couple weeks I didn't panic, because I payed them to "take care of me...," but after a couple of months had passed by, I soon realized that they had given up on me, and where simply stealing my money. Andrew was recommended by a friend of the family, and at first I was a bit skeptical due to my past experiences, but once I spoke to him I regained some hope. He was my criminal defense attorney, and I was charged with 6 different charges that if it weren't for him, I might have spent years in prison. I'm not saying he's going to win 100% of the cases he has, but he'll give 110% of his effort. He communicated with me very often, and his staff would also speak to my worried wife whenever she had any questions, honestly I personally have nothing but good things to say about them, Andrew and his team managed to take all the charges I had against me, and during the entire process they treated me and my family like genuine people and not just another client. I highly recommend him for any legal representation.

He will fight for you!

Mr Rier is an outstanding lawyer! He truly has your back and takes care of business. He is very honest about your situation and dedicated to getting to the best results. He is the realist. He brings decades of experience, solid confidence and aggression to the table. This is the lawyer you need. No ...wimpy lawyer. He will Truly fight for you until the end! He stands before you like a protector and fights for you. I never saw such aggression from a lawyer in the courtroom and with all due respect at the same time. My family and I are so happy we hired Mr Rier to represent our case. And he has a very supportive and friendly staff. They are like one big family that makes you feel welcomed. We love this firm

No good...

All I can say is, this lawyer is no good. Can't tell you about your case, but knows about your payments. He kept telling me it takes time, but demands more money. He will act like your his top priority, till he sees there's nothing more to squeeze out of you. Then you call, and call, and nothing. He ...promises you the stars, then you receive calls about next payment. When they gave me quote of $3,500. Now they want more. With no results, just one motion. So Andrew wants $3,500 for one motion. I will notify the bar, I fired him, and will not return a dollar to me. I guess crime dose pay....

"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."
