Second to None!

This life is full of unfortunates. However, I am extremely proud to say that after exercising discretion in the hiring of an attorney, Mr. Rier has exceeded my expectations of how amazing lawyers can be. In the defense of his clients on my behalf, I can testify that Mr. Rier is a upper echelon lawyer... while on and off the stand. After my experience with Mr. Rier, he makes the unfortunate feel very fortunate to have him on their side. I highly recommend him for anyone interested in hiring an attorney. Once again, Thank you so much Mr. Rier.

Best Lawyer in Miami

With all the noise in the city it's always difficult to find the right person for any case. We had the pleasure to work with Mr. Andrew on a recent case. From beginning to end, Andrew has the winning attitude to take on any case or opposing attorney. Thank you again andrew for always taking care of u...s. Real recognize Real!

worst experience of a lawyer i have had.

We hired Andrew rier, and he talked a good one. We paid him what he said it would cost, and said things that i want to hear. But when i we paid him what he asked, he said it would be more. And did not back up his words. He said he would resolve the matter in a set date. But then stated it would take ...more time and money. I fired him, and with one motion i filed myself, i resolve my own matter and within my time frame. Andrew is not a man of his words.

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

Did NOT show up to judge's court Hearing causing my ELDERLY Mother's lawsuit to be DISMISSED

Mom paid this lawyer a $10,000.00 retainer. This lawyer (Andy Rier) told me "Not to worry, I'LL get your Mother's $20,000.00 back" from Wachovia Bank... Mom's lawsuit was dismissed by the judge because her above lawyer (Andy Rier) failed to show up for the judge's court Hearing. Obviously, thi...s lawyer is NOT trusrworthy and he has refused to return Mom's $10,000.00 Mom should have collected her missing $20k plus $10k (Retainer) and more... NOTE: To be fair, Mr. Rier did offer to return $1,500.00 back to my Mother!!!

"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."
