Highly Recommended

I’m currently fighting a second degree murder case. After being incarcerated for a year, Rier represented me during my Arthur hearing, I was granted a bond along with house arrest and I’ve been reunited with my family.

Unmatched

I honestly don’t even know where to start but here goes. I hired Mr Rier about a year ago so around April of 2020. During this time my brother has been sitting in jail over 2 years, 1st degree premeditated, attempted murder and shooting in vehicle. At this time we had 2 lawyers on the case who was as...leep most of the times, and that’s me trying to be polite. Anyways Mr. Rier was recommended by a cell mate of my brother so I decided to call the office and scheduled a meeting. Let’s just say his previous lawyers got fired IMMEDIATELY. Mr Rier went above and beyond and have work tirelessly on his case, and believe in my brother’s innocence before even meeting the family.

Best Lawyer Ever

The BEST attorney ever. He literally got 3 counts of attempted murder dismissed within 3 weeks of hiring him! I could not believe it so I called back multiple times for a deeper explanation. Hire him NOW!

"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."
