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.

Beast Mode

I’ve delt with Mr.Rier for about four years now. I was an inmate for five years and I was sentenced to a ten year probation violation sentence. I was also sentenced to a fifteen year minimum mandatory for the case I violated with, which was a 2nd degree attempt of murder and Aggravated battery with a... deadly weapon. Mr.Rier than put in a motion for a post-conviction motion to set aside convictions and Revocation of Probation. Everything turned out great Mr.Rier got up there along with his awesome assistant Johnathan Jordan and they fought for me as if I was there own child. Their work was sufficient, accurate and amazing ! I would not be the free man I am today had I not hired this Firm. We’ve had a few bumps in the road but we’ve managed to get over them. It wasn’t an easy case at all, but Mr.Rier and his collugeages did a wonderful job and got through it and they promised me I wasn’t going to prison and they kept that promise. I never went to prison I’m here with my daughter,family,friends and loved ones I couldn’t have been more satisfied with their performance.. Thanks Mr.Rier, Johnathan Jordan and the rest of the Amazing firm behind them.

Hire the best!!

The prosecutor had it out for my husband. After denying a bond and basically making fun of my previous attorney, she was finally shaken up when Mr. Rier walked into the courtroom. He picked her apart and destroyed her whole case with one deposition. Andrew is aggressive and doesn’t take any crap in t...he courtroom. His presence alone had the prosecutor nervous. I’m so happy I hired Mr Rier!! If you are looking for someone to win and not waste your time or money, go for the best! Mr Rier is the best hands down!!

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.

"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."
