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,

january case

I was very lucky to have found a very knowledgeable attorney. One that Im able to trust and know can give me a peace of mine knowing that Im able to speak to as a person and given the chance to hear me out . I know that if I had any questions I would get a response by the next day with no delay . I h...ave never seen anyone like this attorney and highly recommend him 100% . I am very happy to have come across such a professional attorney in the future if I ever need someone it would be him with no questions asked .Im so proud that he was able to get my son back to me and our family do to good investigation . I know that the odds were not looking good but my faith in God and the Angel that watched over them and my son help give my son a second chance to life .

Thanks to Andy, I'm a free man !

Thanks to Andy, I'm a free man. Andy's professionalism and knowledge of the law came in handy because of the state attorneys focus on prosecuting me at any cost. I was involved in a very "Media Rich" case that Andy handled like a champion. I was charged with over 20 bogus felonies and Andy got them a...ll dropped. I could go on and on about how happy I was with Andy and his staff but I think you get the point. The way I look at it, If I didn't hire Andy, I'd be in jail and couldn't write this review. If you need a lawyer, hire Andy Rier. You'll be glad you did. (God knows I am)

Highly knowledgable legal firm!

I've hired Mr. Rier's firm to represent me twice. Once on a family matter and once on a criminal matter. Both times the cases have been handled promptly and with the upmost care. The attorney's knowledge of the law at this firm is outstanding. As such, both cases were won in my favor!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
