Greatest of all time

I used him in 2014 he was operating in Florida. He got me the lowest possible plea that was allowed by law. He did a great job. He was very professional to me even though I was upset because I had to do some time. I did some research and I realized that he got me the best deal anyone could of got me ...under the circumstances. I never got a chance to tell you thank you Drew but I appreciate what you did for me.

Extremely hard working attorney.

Drew fought extremely hard for me on my case and went above and beyond what an attorney would normally do. Because of that we were able to get the best outcome possible. After being charged with a crime that I did not commit, I was afraid of what would happen but he was able to get a not guilty verd...ict after almost a year of fighting in court and for a fee that was much less than what other attorneys quoted me. I recommend him to my own friends and family. Thanks so much for your help.

A Tremendous Attorney

Thank you Drew for your leadership and guidance. Our family is forever in-debt. I would recommend Drew Fritsch to anyone who needs legal representation.

Posted by Jeff | February 18, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Resolved traffic violation

Called Atty. Fritsch after receiving a ticket for violating the NYS Move Over Law. He represented me at the traffic court hearing. As a result, I did not have to attend. His fee was very reasonable. He was able to reduce the ticket to a non-moving violation; no points on license, no requirement for t...raffic school. He was personable and efficient.

Above and beyond expectations

I couldn't be more pleased with how Drew handled my traffic ticket case. His intimate knowledge and vast experience in this field was a great advantage for me. Very highly recommended.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
