Amazing Results!!

I hired AnneMarie for a DUI case (unfortunately not my first). I was lucky enough that when I was getting pulled over I was able to get AnneMarie on the phone. She was able to give me on the spot legal advice to help me. She then assisted my wife in helping her get me bonded out. From the first day s...he provided me with details on how to put myself in the best position for my case. She provided me with all the necessary information. She was very straight forward and honest but tried to keep my hopes up just the same. Throughout the case she kept me informed and explained the strength and weaknesses in my case. I was very fortunate that due to my prior history I did not see one day in jail. I truly believe this is because of the reputation, hard work, and legal expertise of AnneMarie.

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.

Extremely effective lawyer!

I immediately went to Anne Marie after being charged for DUI. She clearly outlined the process she would use to fight this charge. I was immediately impressed with how knowledgeable she was. She kept me informed on what was happening every step of the way. She managed to get both DUI and reckless cha...rges dismissed. Katie who works for her was also great in keeping my mind at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend Anne Marie Rose Rizzo!

Larry, I'm so happy we were able to get all of your charges dismissed. I'm so happy you were impressed with my work and appreciate the kind words. Also, thank you for the compliment about Katie. I am very fortunate to have her help me in helping you. She is a very valuable component of my practice.

Great Results!

My Attorney Annemarie Rizzo was outstanding as my defense Attourney. I had doubted that any Attourney could actually help me with my case and was thinking about just accepting the charges against me. After speaking with me on the phone for just a few minutes I felt completely different and thought ...maybe she could help me. Her staff and firm were first class in customer service and attention to detail. Being new to this whole process I did not feel too comfortable closer to the trial, but I was reassured and relieved when she called with a plea offer that was much less then the charges I had against me. I would highly recommend Annemarie Rizzo for your defense Attourney.

Excellent BUI Defense.

AnneMarie Rose Rizzo, went way beyond the call of duty. I would definitely recommend her for any type of DWI, DUI, BUI or other criminal case. I truly believe if I had to pay her by the hour for the amount of work she did I could not have done it. She really cares about her clients. She made herself ...available at nights, on the weekend and I never felt put off by her or her staff at any time. AnneMarie put up a fight every step of the way leaving no stone unturned in my son’s defense. She helped put together a complete defense team including an accident reconstruction expert, boating experts, multiple blood experts to present a challenge to the prosecutor every step of the way. Her expertise as a former state prosecutor was very helpful as she know the system from both sides of the court. I hope you never need her or her law firms of services but if you do I would not hesitate to call her. AnneMarie and the entire staff at Finebloom, Haenel and Higgins P.A were great to work with.
