The best attorney’s in Miami Dade County

I hired Rier Jordan law firm to represent my son on a armed trafficking drug case, and I knew that they would go above and beyond to have the best outcome for my son from 5 charges 3 were dropped and he only had to deal with 2 charges but my son was facing 20 yes due to the severity of the case and t...o say that my son had a great outcome is an understatement, all charges weren’t dropped but to go from facing 20 yrs to 3 yrs of probation is a blessing; thanks to Mr. Jordan, Mr. Rier, May and staff for all their hard work and effort for a great outcome. I love these guys so much because every case I've ever recommended them to has been a great outcome.

Satisfying customer

Upon talking to Johnathan about my case he stated he would do what he could to keep me out of jail I suddenly no longer felt that knot in my stomach due to the fact many lawyers would have sold me the moon and stars to gain you as an client my felony case has been on going for Trafficking,misdemeanor... paraphernalia etc with no resolution insight after two days of having my case he had done more then 2 p.d and my paid attorney Abe Bailey had for over an year. Mr. Jordan did exactly what an paid lawyer suppose to do he found the best resolution for my case all while managing to keep me out of jail an with my family. thank you Mr. rier as well very nice and humorous an Michele for the great customer service every time no matter how many times I called

Awesome Legal Representation

Charged With Allegedly Armed Trafficking drug cases and andy got me out in the 21 days on house arrest then a whole year later got some Alleged possession charges and he STILL got me out in a WEEK 7 DAYS on house arrest again, no bullshit this guy is aggressive and really goes after they’re throat, e...veryone knows these cops lie on affidavits and he makes sure that is brought to light. never met a more professional lawyer that actually cares about his clients personally. You get what you pay for if you want a top lawyer this is your guy, recommend him for any and all legal issues.

The best attorney in South Florida! Hands down.

I hired Andrew in 2015, I was facing 60 yrs for three trafficking charges. 20yrs. each count. I set in the county jail three years riding on those three cases. The state had me on camera dead to the wrong. That’s why they didn’t budge from the 60 years. Andrew took my case over in late 2015, early 20...17 he got me a plea. 6yrs. prison with 1 year probation early termination after 6mos. Today was my early termination hearing, my motion was granted. I got my life back, I thank GOD for Andrew Rier. If you’re looking for a attorney who will fight to the end for you right or wrong. Andrew Rier is that dude, love you drew.

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Andrew Rier to represent me in Tallahassee, Fl. I am a convicted felon and was being charged with possession of a firearm, ammunition, and possession of crack cocaine. The state attorney wanted me to serve prison time but I only received one year probation! Mr. Rier and his team continuously... stayed in contact with my fiancé, providing updates about the case. My opinions regarding the case were valued. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure the best outcome! Mr. Rier is a BEAST in the courtroom, best attorney no doubt!

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."
