Best in business

Let’s me start off by saying thank you to Ken, you are top notch!!! And I also want to thank these other reviewers because if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have hired him. I had a very serious charge against me back in 2016, so I hired another attorney who I will not name. From the very beginning I h...ad a bad feeling about the guy but I went against my better judgement. I would go to court hearings and he would literally show up at 2pm everytime! I explained to him that I was very concerned about the immigration ramifications more than that of the criminal consequences. He tried to get me to take the deal the prosecution was offering. Which to me was B.S. I would have to cop out to a felony and do some time in jail. If this was the case then I might as well have taken the case to trial. I told if I were to take the deal then immigration would almost certainly begin deportation proceedings and it was like this guy would not listen. Finally, I started looking for a new attorney as I did not like the direction the case was headed in. So I started looking on AVVO and I found Mr. Fredette. What caught my eye was not the amount of reviews he received but the context. So I went in for a consultation and after about 10 minutes of discussing my case I knew he was the guy. Ken is brutally honest, he doesn’t promise you anything but what he does promise and delivers on is 100% commitment to your case. After few pre-trial hearings he almost got the case completely dismissed. I ended up doing pre-trial probation. This is almost as good as a dismissal. No probation fees, no supervision, and most importantly, no record!! Let me add, the only reason why they didn’t give me a complete dismissal was because of a prior conviction I had. Bottom line is, if you’re in a bind call Ken! And I agree with one of the other reviewers who said Ken should charge a lot more for his services... your prices do not fit your results ! Thank you for saving my life Ken

good attorney

its not over yet but i had mark roberts for 7 months and he was AWEFUL!!!!! Ken was appointed after I fired mark and I was put in jail that same day. being that Ken wasnt familiar with the details, he couldnt defend the issue of bail at this time. I have to say I havent had much experience with crimi...nal law but I know a little and I have never seen a lawyer be soooo prepared in less then 24 hrs! he marched into supreme court the next day and got my bail reduced. he knew all the facts of the case and Im so grateful!! Its gonna be tough but I am happy to have a great attorney on my side! thanks ken

Excellent Lawyer!

When a lawyer I was referred to failed to live up to promises and would not return calls, I sought recommendations from two police officers figuring they would know who the good criminal lawyers were. They BOTH highly recommended Atty Fredette, telling me he was one of the few lawyers other police of...ficers hired when they were confronted with criminal charges. I called him and received a call back the same day. He told me he does not meet with potential clients unless retained, but that he would obtain my police report and call me back if he thought he could help me. He would not charge me anything for this. I half expected not to hear from him but he called me the next day. He asked whether I had any prior record and I explained I had a case dismissed over 10 years before. He asked me several more questions about my case. He then quoted me a fixed price for representation and a fee schedule. I am so glad I hired this man! The case took 8 months with most of the time due to the DA continuing the case. Mr. Fredette would not accept anything less than dismissal or not guilty and I was found not guilty after a jury trial. Interestingly, the two police officers that testified both came up to us after the verdict out in the hallway and shook his hand telling him he did a great job! Weird! I have referred a friend to Mr. Fredette since and I know they are happy with him too.

Preeminent Criminal Defense Attorney

We were referred to attorney Fredette for our son. I was leery to hire him because he does not do free consultations. He asked for the name of our son and called back the same day, having read the police report. He quoted me a fixed fee and explained his terms for payment, which were more than reason...able. We are so glad we hired him. The DA's office tried to prevent our son from posting bail, but attorney Fredette got him released. The case was dismissed after he argued a motion that the police obtained evidence illegally. Attorney Fredette answered phone calls the same day I left messages and kept us fully informed throughout. He never made promises he couldn't keep and told us the truth, even if we didn't like the answer. Our son has made a full turn around since the case. I cannot endorse this man enough!
