Case Dismissed!
The best two words anyone can hope to hear in a DWI case. While I cannot suggest that people put their faith in the legal system, it is designed to attack your character, your pride and your wallet at every turn. I can suggest you put your faith in Mr. Frickey. He is not the kind of lawyer who will advocate that you take a plea, in fact if you so choose he will genuinely support your desire for a fair trial. From there he'll work with you gathering the necessary information without judgement. He is very familiar with the DWI process and will tell you exactly what you need to do to get back to business and stay in good standing with the court. He's even willing to consult with you via Skype if transportation is an issue. He is also a great negotiator, for anyone unclear about the court process much happens in chambers that we as defendants can't see. You can trust that Mr. Frickey is back there working to get you the best possible outcome. Even if you don't think you have a chance, contact Mr. Frickey - he will work tirelessly to get you an outcome you could have only hoped for... Thanks Michael!

Great Attorney
Mr. Frickey was my attorney for my DWI case. Throughout the entire process he was always in communication with me and gave me great advice. I had fully accepted the fact that I was going to be convicted as I didn’t have much going in my favor. However, he won my case. I would 100% recommend this attorney.

If you need an Attorney, you need Mike Frickey
I was referred to Mike. I had put myself in a position where I was going to need a great Attorney for the better part of a year. Mike was at my side the entire time. Mike is analytical, he knows the details and nuances of the law and understands how to use them to our advantage. His perseverance is unmatched. He does not give up. His negotiation skills and courtroom demeanor and presence cannot be taught in law school. All that aside, what makes Mike the only criminal attorney I would ever use is he actually gives a damn. He was there for me when I needed him. He didn't give up on me, he's unselfish, nonjudgmental, professional and supportive. I always knew I was in good hands and that bit of comfort through hard times made all the difference. Thank you Mike.

The best outcome that I could have imagined!
Michael was a true professional throughout this whole process. This can be stressful time for anyone charged with a DWI, but Michael kept me informed at all times and the especially what to expect with the outcome. He was always available for questions and negotiated the best outcome on my behalf. I would not hesitate to hire Michael again for any traffic violation in the future (hopefully, there won't be any :).)
Kudos to Michael for his knowledge and expertise!

Excellent Service
As soon as I hired him, he started working on my case immediately. I missed my court date "failure to appear" and he handle it fast and I didn't have to pay court fees plus he got it reduced to "no operators license". Also, he got me a "prayer for judgement" so this offense won't be enter against me. Thank you again for taking care of my case, highly recommended.

Top notch law service
Mr. Frickey was honest with me up front, direct and professional, and kept in communication with me throughout the process. During a time when I was anxious and stressed about my legal situation, he went above and beyond for me. Mr. Frickey resolved all of my issue with the best possible outcome.

I give him an A+ and if anyone I know or myself ever needs any legal assistance in the future he will be the first person I call.

We won!
I haven't often had to seek council, but it was evident from the start that Mike cared about my case. Although it seemed like a long shot, he pulled the evidence together needed to come out on top and we won our case. He was patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and had a great attitude as well as great communication. I would recommend him to anyone in need of council and would absolutely come back to him if future council was needed.

Excellent
Mike Frickey did an absolutely excellent job for our situation. Because this was a resurrection of a very old case, he had to do some extensive research. He was very accessible, professional, listened well and communicated consistently. I really hope to never need a lawyer again, but his name will ALWAYS be in my phone...just in case. Highly recommend.

A truly gifted counsel
Anytime one needs a defense lawyer, one is in a place of stress or weakness. My case was no different–I needed help, and could offer no expertise of my own to untangle my situation. But the one decision I made was to hire Mr. Frickey as my lawyer. And that one choice turned out to be an excellent one. He dug into my case, explored it, until he found the soft spots in the state's charge. He stuck with it for years, deftly balancing continuances, false starts, motions and periodic meetings with me (for clarification on an issue, or simply to keep me well informed). In the end, he obtained a motion that essentially wiped my case off the docket in Superior Court. But even if we'd gotten an irascible or unimaginative judge, I would still be writing this positive review. He gave me the greatest shot (expertise, insight, perseverance, patience and no small amount of tension-reducing humor) in one of the lowest moments of my life. I'm sure he'll do the same or more for others.

Awesome Traffic Defense Lawyer
Attorney Michael A. Frickey was highly recommended to me after I had some traffic violations that needed legal counsel. I contacted Mr. Frickey by phone and email and was impressed for him to personally respond not only the same day but with in an hour of my inquiry. I was very unsure of what would happen and expected the worst. I paid him a small fee and sent all of the information he needed. He made me feel like I had nothing to worry about and was very helpful and knowledgeable about traffic offenses and how to defend them. The next two weeks I had corresponded with him several times and was always treated with respect and felt at ease with what he was going to do with my cases. The first traffic case was dismissed with no cost or court fees. The second case against me was more difficult but Mr. Frickey did not give up and went to court for me until he got the best result.

Outstanding Defense Trial Lawyer
I have had the pleasure to work with Mr. Frickey for the past past 6 months on a very tricky criminal case. He advised and always consulted with me to find out exactly what I wanted to do first before he made any moves on my behalf. I was so impressed with him when we took the case to trial. He had information that directly mirrored my case, making it almost impossible for the Judge not to dismiss my charges. I thank him today for his patience,knowledge of the case, without his expertise I would have been dead in the water. I highly recommend Mr. Frickey and rate him to be one of the best Lawyers I have had the oppurtunity to work with.

Litigation against the individual directors of a Homeowners Association
Mike is a very capable and competent attorney.
Mike met with us in a timely manner to attain the documentation necessary to defend the directors.
He is very professional, friendly, and most important, an extremely good listener. He answered all of our questions to our satisfaction, which left all the directors feeling very comfortable using him to represent us.
Also, during the litigation process, via email or by phone, when we had questions, he answered us promptly and to our satisfaction again.
Best thing that came out of this litigation, is that the case was decided in our favor and the judge ordered the HO A to indemnify each director, which meant we did not have to pay out-of-pocket , his attorney fees. I must say his attorney fees are very reasonable.
I definitely would use Mike again if such a need would arise. He is great to work with.
