Freddy Haddad

This is a short story about my case and my lawyer Fred haddad I retained Fred the day before my arraignment on a 1st degree attempted murder charge a close friend recommened him. This was the best decision I ever made Fred showed up the judge and prosecutor was happy to see him attending to my... calamity. I was prepared too be rearrested due to my charge being upped more bond etc but no it was not the case. Fred jumped on the case with his partner and Dee I admit to driving Fred absolutely nuts for about 18 months bouncing off the walls restless nights liquidating everything etc sorry Fred. Fred always answered my calls even on a sunday sometimes he seemed short to the point but i realized he needs a uninfluenced look at the case. Fred is a one off those people you propably dont ever want to deal with but if all hell breaks loose his the man youre gonna need. Fred is a absolute genius when it comes to law hes being doin it for more than 40 years his partner too there presence in the courtroom is amazing. Dee in the office is an angel so professional on point nice caring great team. During my case every single thing was handled in such a proper way and learning about the law and system they made it real easy. Well the outcome was Fred got the case Nolle Prossed Expunged and all my property back. My remarks would be if youre goin through hell most youre friends will go away youre goin have to liquidate real quick lose everything pay the lawyer first thing and blow off the the hundred demons blowin down your neck good news is the good lord has angels like Fred and Dee team to help you back on youre feet.If youre scared dont show it and things will go bad and then they get worst. If youre goin thru hell keep on goin dont slow down you might get out before the devil knows youre there face that fire walk right thru it. Thanks Fred for saving my life new start for me and hope you catch lots fish on that Dirty Boat.

American Justice's Hero & Florida's Best Criminal Trial Lawyer (Part 1)

Please forgive this second posting. My prior review was incompletely published. I will do my best to keep this review concise. Let me begin this review by stating that Fred Haddad gave me two things over the past four years that no institution or individual was able to offer me: peace of min...d and freedom from an unjust state. I am forever grateful & appreciative for his professional services and, more importantly, the familial-like friendship we built over the years. Please allow me to explain. In March 2007, I was the victim of criminal actions committed by six Broward County law enforcement officers. To cover-up their unlawful policing practices (i.e., abuse of police powers, law enforcement misconduct, and excessive force), I was falsely arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated assault against a law enforcement officer & obstruction (resisting arrest) with violence -- based on fabricated testimonial evidence; the charges carried mandatory sentencing. I was a college senior and small business owner during the time of the incident. After I posted bond, I was connected with a fellow college alumnus - a judge - who recommended several attorneys to me, including Fred. Some other attorneys (criminal & civil) also suggested lawyers to contact. One fact was clear during my discussions: Fred was clearly identified as one of the best criminal defense litigators in Florida, if not the U.S. As one my attorney friends pointed out, "Fred is the guy that lawyers, judges, politicians, celebrities, 'mobsters,' and common folk seek out when they need Justice on their side." He could not have been more right. I interviewed four "top" attorneys to determine who I would seek to represent me in my defense. Only one lawyer showed me the confidence I needed in a criminal defense attorney: Fred Haddad. He made it clear from the beginning, "You'll be alright...I [Fred] am the best...go back to Providence and graduate [from college]..." Fred believed in me, he believed in himself, and he believed in my case. There were no second guesses from there. Too much was at stake: my freedom. Over the following three and one-half years (2007-2010), Fred acted as litigator, advocate, consultant, "therapist," friend, and "uncle." As attorney, his knowledge of criminal law & procedure is second to none, his courtroom presence is unprecedented, and his tenacious personality needed to persuade a jury is unparalleled . As consultant, he advised me on all my legal options with an objective framework that offered the best possible outcomes based on my needs. As "therapist," he helped me maintain my sanity during an enduring pretrial period in which, among other issues, I was forced to close my business, I was ineligible to apply to certain jobs & graduate programs, and I was rejected by several top tier graduate programs -- all due to pending charges. Nevertheless, he helped motivate me to continue moving forward with my life (while he handled my legal dilemma) and supported me in my endeavors. I was fortunate to end up matriculating into a joint-doctoral program. As friend, he listened to my thoughts and feelings regarding this case & other matters. As an "uncle," he gave me his personal opinions (in addition to objective legal advice) as if I were a family member. He was there for me in every possible way one would need during a situation in which one's rights, liberties, freedoms, or mere humanity are at stake.
