A Friend of a Friend

Back in 2005, my youngest son who was 17 fell in love with a 14 year old girl. The girl's parents found evidence of them being sexually active and forbid them to see each other. That was the start of a very very horrible series of three arrests for the same thing because they had sex in three differe...nt towns. I could and probably should write a book about the worst nightmare of my life. Luckily, for me, one of Fred's best friends called Fred for me to ask if I could send the arrest warrant to him to see what his thoughts were. The very same day, he looked it over and told me don't worry about it, my son will be adjudicated as a youthful offender. I hd already hired and met with the top law firm in CT even before my son was arrested because we knew it was imminent. When I told Fred the law firm I hired, he assured me I was in good hands. When I asked my lawyer to email the arrest warrant to Fred, they were pretty impressed that I even knew him. Because Fred told me don't worry, it will be alright, I only cried myself to sleep every other night instead of every night. When you need a criminal attorney, believe me you want the best because it is usually the scariest worst time in your life and any peace of mind you can get is worth every penny! So, thank you Fred for being a friend of a friend and my friend!

Eternally greatful parent and fellow collegue.

Several years ago and again recently this year it became necessary for me to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent my son. Although I have been practicing law for over 24 years and am an experienced criminal defense lawyer, representing my own son was out of the question. As they say, "He w...ho represents himself has a fool for a client" and I wanted the best representation I could find for my son, who was facing very severe consequences for a DUI related accident. Upon inquiring from many fellow criminal defense lawyers, Fred was highly recommended to me. Prior to hiring Fred I interviewed several other lawyers who were also recommended. Several of them made promises I knew they couldn't keep. Others scared me to death and quoted outrageous fees. Hiring Fred to represent my son has been the wisest decision I have ever made. The results Fred obtained on behalf of my son have been miraculous (for lack of a better term). He confirmed what my colleagues had said about him and earned my utmost trust and respect. During my years of practicing law I have met hundreds, if not thousands of lawyers and I can honestly say that Fred is the best criminal defense lawyer I know.

Class act renegade trial maven

As an established criminal defense litigator, I have had been fortunate enough to have been Fred's client on a number of occasions over the years. What makes this outstanding and gutsy lawyer, among other things, a cut above the rest, begins with his willingness to assist fellow lawyers with legal se...rvices for anything from Bar complaints to criminal charges. What further distinguishes this heroic figure is his long standing policy of providing lawyers in need on a pro bono basis! I cannot recall a tine when Fred hesitated to offer his assistance whenever he was asked! Fred Haddad was born to practice, often standing up for the less fortunate and oppressed and will retire the day he dies! I am forever grateful for Fred 's unselfishness and compassion for those in need.

Do not trust this man!

I hired Fred many years years ago. It cost my family over $70,000 to retain him. He was supposedly the best drug lawyer in Broward. After spending 2 years in jail, he eventually told me I would be facing 3 years, only to receive over 20 years in prison. He was dishonest because he never gave me the t...rue scope of what would be faced. He just told me what I need to hear. I will never forget what he did. I own up to my mistakes, but he is just as much a criminal as I was.
