Rier and Jordan The best.

Hired them after being scammed and lied out of my money for 2 years from Sara shulevitz. I hired them and in 4 months closed my case out dropped charges. Got me a deal that my previous lawyer said it was impossible to get for me. Happy I chose Rier and Jordan to represent me. Great service can't com...plain there front desk and paralegal always answered any and all questions I had. Paralegal team always updated me and always was in contact with me. Would recommend if u are in need of a good lawyer team.

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....

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.

What more can anyone ask for

When I contacted Andrew Rier, I expected to be treated like any one else, just another client at any law firm - I could not have been more wrong. Andrew listened very carefully to my story, asked direct and on-point questions, and promised to give maximum effort to my case. He was absolutely true to ...his word, he treated my case with true diligence and care, effort and sincerity. Andrew made the process much less stressful than I could have imagined, with his efforts resulting in a victory for our case. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Andrew - what more can anyone ask for!

Sincere Gratitude

I, would like to express my sincere gratitude to Andrew Rier's P.A. firm for an,.outstanding job on our son's recent case. He handled his case in an extremely competent and professional manner. Needless to say, my family and I were worried sick about what to do and how to do it. But Andrew calmed... us down by accessing the situation. ...with his straightforward tact and sympathetic understanding he was able to ease our "fears" and concerns. I thank him for being compassionate through it all. He displayed humor, honesty, dignity, humility and compassion during the entire ordeal. . He was always In Touch making himself available when our Crisis occurred and continued with pertinent updates as the case progressed. His knowledge and expertise; without the shadow of a doubt brought home the best results that we could have ever hoped for. His professionalism is exemplified through the quality of his work; I recommend him highly. Again my sincere gratitude to Andrew Rier's P.A and his firm. Thank You, Holas,

"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."
