DUI

AnneMarie was my attorney for a recent DUI. Her and her staff were very prompt and always there to answer any questions, no matter how small. She outlined exactly what to expect since it is such a confusing time. A DUI is an awful experience but she made it much more tolerable and would recommend her... to anyone.

B- thank you for trusting me. I hope the best for you in the future and thank you for willing to recommend me. It was good to meet you even though not originally under the best of circumstances. Here for you always...even the small things, even 10 years from now.

You get what you pay for...top service

I hired Annemarie for my daughter's case in Sarasota. Of course since this was my daughter we shopped around for the best. My husband, daughter and I narrowed the list down to 3 and Annemarie was the one we chose (although I must say she was the most expensive). However, Annemarie did everything she ...promised. She fought hard for our daughter's case, she didn't sugar coat anything, was informative, was passionate, gave us every detail and helped us make the best decisions. This could have impacted our daughter's life in the long term and Annemarie was able to file motions keeping the breath test out and negotiate an outcome that prevented our daughter from being convicted of the offense. Annemarie's office staff was also very helpful. There is a reason you pay more for Annemarie...she provides you with the top notch service as does her staff. My daughter learned a valuable lesson the hard way but thankfully to Annemarie she won't forever be haunted by her bad decision.

I'm sure as a parent it was tough for you to trust your daughter's future in to someone else's hand. I'm glad you chose me for the task and we were able to get through it for her has a team, the 4 of us.

Money well spent

Annemarie Rizzo is a godsend. She took care of everything, without me ever having to appear in court myself. She was able to get me a deal, that everyone else said I wouldn't be able to get, that will get all charges dropped.

Best in town! Complete Rockstar!

Words cannot explain how amazing AnneMarie was when handling my case. She was extremely prepared and knowledgable on the law. Minutes before our hotly contested hearing we were told our regular judge was backed up and we would be going in front of a different judge. This made me so nervous as the onl...y thing I knew about this new judge was that he was one of the toughest to be in front of. AnneMarie was on top of her game when cross examining the main witness. She had her on the stand for close to two hours having to endure the powerful AnneMarie. AnneMarie moved to have my case dismissed which the judge denied at first but after hearing further evidence and argument by AnneMarie he agreed and my case was thrown out. Her on the spot adaptive ability to change gears with this harsh judge and effective arguments was worth every penny of her high fee. You definitely get what you pay for with Annemarie. On top of it all she is very compassionate and passionate. I felt like she was arguing like I was a family member of hers...totally from the heart.

You Get What You Pay For

Although there are lawyers in the area that are less expensive, AnneMarie is worth every penny and more. She is extremely smart and tough and will fight for you like you're family. She was very patient explaining all of the different options and possible outcomes (multiple times and in laymen terms...). My tickets were thrown out and she really saved me! I've recommended her to my family and friends and all agree that she really is the best.
