Best law firm!

I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional legal representation provided by Rier Jordan Law. They have helped me with multiple cases, and I could not have asked for a more dedicated and professional law firm. From the very beginning, Dayna Clark and Andrew Rier demonstrated a deep underst...anding of the law and an unwavering commitment to my cases. Although, at times I was a bit of a headache with my concerns they took time to explain every step of the process, making sure I was fully informed and comfortable with all decisions. Always available to answer my questions, Ms. Clark's communication was clear, timely and thorough. Thanks to Ms. Clark & Mr. Rier, I achieved favorable results in all my cases. Their expertise, dedication and genuine care for my well-being made all the difference. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this law firm to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation! Thank you both for your outstanding service and for helping me through a challenging time with confidence and success.

Number 1 Lawyer in Florida

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Rier and I can't speak highly enough about the exceptional service I received. From our initial consultation to the final resolution of my case, Rier demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise. Rier's deep knowledge... of the law and strategic approach were evident in every interaction. They took the time to thoroughly understand the nuances of my situation, patiently answered all my questions, and provided clear, concise guidance. Their ability to explain complex legal terms in a way that I could easily grasp was incredibly reassuring. What truly sets Rier apart is their genuine care and commitment to their clients. They were always accessible, promptly returning calls and emails, and kept me informed at every step of the process. I never felt like just another case; I felt like a priority. Rier’s negotiation skills were outstanding, and their unwavering confidence in the courtroom was impressive. Thanks to their hard work and determination, the outcome of my case exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and dedicated to achieving the best possible results for their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Rier. They are, without a doubt, the best in the field.

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness

I hired Mr. Rier about 3 years ago for a Possession of firearm case. Over the past three years Mr. Rier provided me with exceptional service. Mr. Rier is a quality lawyer who is also very professional, knowledgeable and understanding. He was always attentive to my matters, I always had a very good co...mmunication with him. He showed compassion to my case, which few lawyers do. When I left messages, he always responded right away. He took charge of my case and I have to say that I felt safe and sure that Mr. Rier was going to handle my case and fight for me and he did. Mr. Rier was able to have my case dismissed. Thank you for being the light at the end of a dark period in my life! I would recommend Mr. Rier to anyone facing any criminal charges.

Hands Down The Best!

Andrew Rier, Jonathan Jordan, Michele and May are hands down the best group of people to fight for you. My husband was facing 20-life and even though trial seemed like a scary decision to make we fully and wholeheartedly trusted this team with our lives in their hands. I got to witness Andy, John and... Michele in that court room and they were just beast mode. We are so grateful that we were recommended him and made that decision to hire him. He gave us our lives back my 4 girls get to have their dad back. He is gifted in what he does they all are. You won’t regret hiring him and his team they’re awesome and treat you like family!

The best criminal lawyer in South Fl.

Andrew Rier was initially hired by my brother. I was pulled in and had to speak with Andrew once my brother was detained. He understands the assignment(s) and delivers. He is funny and really tries to get you comfortable with him to build a trusting relationship. He handled 2 cases for my brother st...ate and federal. Ex on 1 case: My brother had a DUI state case and was looking at charges of up to 4 yrs with a previous attorney. I had that attorney fired and hired Andrew Rier for the case. like previously stated this is an attorney who WORKS for the benefit of his clients. My brother's case ended with 6 months probation instead of 4 yrs in state prison. There are many attorneys who are incompetent and are there to collect your money, keeping you in an emotional prison regarding your case. They feed you BS on what they can do, yet they openly prove that you need to question if they even work to win. This attorney lays it all on the line for you. His office is friendly and you can call him at any time. I also had the pleasure of working with Molena and she is also amazing. This law firm has integrity and can be trusted. All parties are invested and when you walk into the office you will see stories of his successful cases. Do not hesitate and reach out to this law firm. You won't be sorry. If your an individual that unfortunately did some mistakes with those PPP LOANS you better put him on speed dial, he is the man. He told me personally although he wins cases for his client, he feels more obligated to work hard seeing the people who love them. Unfortunately people we love do things where we have to come in and help. This is a true story with an happy outcome. thank you Attorney Andrew Rier

"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."
