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.

I made the unfortunate choice of driving while exhausted (awake 30 hours, 4 hours of sleep). And while that in and of itself is not a crime. The way it was positioned by law enforcement where I live left me feeling as if I was in a deep pit with no way out. After speaking with a client of mine I w...as directed to the firm of Finebloom and Haenel. Specifically Annemarie Rizzo. Annemarie has extensive experience with the judicial system and how it works in Sarasota. She spent a great deal of time laying out my options and preparing for the trial that I demanded to clear my name and while the "state" had what appeared to be a strong open & shut case. On my trial Annemarie and her team systematically picked apart their case and exposed it for what it was. Annemarie utilized tactics and tools such as subpoenaing the records and video of the booking station which refuted the state's case that I was reeling drunk and unable to respond clearly or follow instruction. By the end of trial, she made the state look like what they were... Unprepared, inept and unseasoned. I have never found myself in such a position before and I never will again but if I should ever have a friend or family member who does happen to fall on the wrong side of the law. I would unerringly and without hesitation recommend Annemarie Rizzo and the fine legal team at Finebloom and Haenel.

AnneMarie represented me on a criminal DUI case. Being this was my first time in the system I was very nervous and afraid of what was ahead of me. I immediately contacted AnneMarie and her firm within a day of being arrested (which happened to be a weekend). Luckily, AnneMarie took my call on a Sunda...y morning, took her time to explain the entire process to me and offered to meet with me that day! Her expertise, thoroughness, and aggressive but soft nature made me feel so comfortable. My case was not an easy one as the cops said I was driving in and out of the road and I seemed very intoxicated but AnneMarie was able to poke holes in the State's case. She wouldn't give up even when I thought things were hopeless. Throughout the entire process AnneMarie would keep me updated and if I had a question I knew I could call her or email her with a response within a quick time. At the end AnneMarie was able to get my dropped down to Reckless Driving. I was so happy. AnneMarie did a great job!!! I highly recommend AnneMarie for any criminal or traffic case.
