      Fiandach and his team of experts are  not the cheapest representation but you get what you pay for. It was a long process of many court appearances and although Ed was not by my side, I had John along with Sue and the team which were extremely knowledgeable and persistent at getting me the best outcome possible for me, and my family. Thanks Ed for all the hard work behind the scenes, also Thank-you John and Sue! I won't be in this situation again, but will definitely referr others that have found themselves with a DWI.   I'm very grateful for my final outcome.
I am now committed to serving my community and helping others get home safe to thier loved ones. God Bless Ed!

      Thursday was a wonderful day for me. I went to local DMV and filled out a form that should be the final piece of paper we will need for my case. I was given a temporary license and told that my new permanent should be mailed in ten to twelve days. I can’t believe it but it’s really over.
Thank you Ed. I really mean it and want you to know that I am truly grateful and very relieved as well as a result of your work and effort.
And thank you too Sue. You played an important role in my case and I appreciate you very much.
And good old Judge Morgan deserves a shout out too. It was his determination in the end to nix the breathalyzer despite the DMVs objections.
I should ask if we owe you any more money at this point. You were incredibly generous from day one and I want to thank you beyond words for doing that. But if you have extra expenses related to my case please let me know.
Finally , I expect that we will not ever be crossing paths again however I will always remember you and what you did for me in this very unique and complex case. God bless you Ed . You are a good man and a great attorney.

      I highly recommend hiring Fiandach & Fiandach,
Ed Fiandach and his faculty will listen intently to your case and take all the proper precautions to WIN! I had a VERY TOUGH case in front of one of the toughest judges in NY state (especially with DWIs). Based off the circumstances, this case would have been lost by ANY other lawyer. But gracefully, after one trail date I was found not guilty and able to resume my life as a productive contributor in my community. You will as well.
Thanks for saving my life, career and a** Fiandach.
His staff his very nice and nurturing as well. I see no other option!

Very happy with the work he did and very happy with the end result. This man was the best representation I’ve ever had and the last I’ll ever need. Thank you Mr. Fiandach!
