Unfortunately, I found myself needing an attorney a year and a half ago after being an involved in fight in which case the other man was badly injured. Not having been in a situation that required hiring an attorney before, I was very apprehensive about who I should seek out for help! From the very... first conversation I had with Annemarie Rizzo (which if I recall correctly, she returned my call on a Sunday evening!!), she was extremely helpful and explained to me every step that we would take to handle the situation as responsibly as possible. Obviously, I was extremely stressed....but she did ease my mind as much as could be by communicating to me as much detail as she could. Though the case dragged out for 6 months before a decision was reached, she kept me informed regularly throughout the whole ordeal and was able to negotiate a favorable end. Around that time, I had been charged with a questionable DUI after my car broke down. I immediately went to Annemarie again. She started working diligently on the case right away and through research and very intelligent examination of the details of the arrest we won the case and all charges were dropped. Despite the state's continued attempts to bend the facts to support their case, she continued to fight for me and completely outmatched the prosecution with well thought out and supported arguments. Though I hope that I never will need Annemarie's services again, I would strongly recommend her as an attorney to anyone who finds themself needing representation!! She is an absolute professional and is extremely talented.

AnneMarie was worth every penny I paid for her and I did have sticker shock at first but she was there for me every step of the way during my DUI. I never had one and she held my hand throughout and with her other hand fought really damn hard for me. I called her the little Italian scrapper....I ho...pe never to find myself in this position again but if I do I wouldn't even think about using another lawyer. Her knowledge of the law, her tenacity and the fact that she genuinely cared about me as a person helped me through this life changing experience...Thanks AnneMarie!!

Annemarie Rizzo is the consumate experienced professional who was extremely tenacious, when it came to dealing with Manatee's judicial system. She was very attentive to my plight and she spent a great deal of time educating me on how the judicial process and procedure works. After, I was falsley arr...ested, Annemarie quickly took the initiative and responsibility to begin the process of dropping all charges. Annemarie then proceeded to focus on the trial prosecutor's office to dismiss the case. The indictment was dismissed and she then pushed through in record time, a motion to expunge, which was just granted. I will always be gratefull to her. Contact Annemarie Rizzo as soon as you require legal advice and don't look any further.
