Robert J. Andretz

I was charged with an Operating While Intoxicated in Eaton County Michigan. The charge was a misdemeanor drinking and driving offense. Once I retained Rob, his first piece of advice was to have an alcohol/drug assessment completed at a counseling center. I did this, and they gave things they thought ...would be beneficial. Rob had me complete the MADD class, the Alcohol Highway Safety class, and the Relapse Prevention Classes that were recommended by the counseling center in Grand Rapids that I had the assessment done at. Once I was finally charged a few months after the incident, I had already completed everything the Court would have asked me to complete because Rob has a proactive approach to these things, which, I believe, was the absolute reason why my sentence was not harsh at all. I had Judge Adrianne Van Langevelde at 56A. She saw everything I had done upon Rob's advice and took all of it into account. My BAC was considered Superdrunk, which is typically a much higher offense. Due to all of the things I had completed upon Rob's advice, the Prosecutor allowed me to plead to a lesser charge. I ended up with 6 months probation (eligible for early release), 40 hours of community service, and only 845 in total court costs. No jail time, no house arrest, nothing that would interrupt my life excessively. While on probation, I only have to report once a month. The result of this matter was absolutely phenomenal. I would hands down recommend Rob Andretz for your DUI/DWI criminal matters. He is directly the reason for the result of my case being what it was. On top of all that, he cares about his clients and gives fantastic advice along the way. He is very responsive, and will always take your concerns into consideration. Cannot say enough good things about Rob.

I had been charged with four misdemeanor counts of Dog-Runs at Large and one misdemeanor count of Dog-Unlicensed in the 54-B District Court. And it was thankfully discovered by Mr. Andretz that there were two additional misdemeanor cases in the 55th District Court of which I was previously unaware.... I originally had a public defender representing me in the 54B District Court cases before I made the decision to hire an attorney. The public defender did not represent my best interest. She did not ask the Court to consider the timing and circumstances of the charges coinciding to my dogs getting loose. She did not make any effort to order any discovery and blatantly told me to plead guilty, which involved penalties ranging from $500/ charge to 90 days in jail per charge. I realized I needed to hire a defence attorney and was referred to Mr. Andretz through a mutual colleague, who happens to be a client of Fraser Trebilcock. I was immediately impressed with his professionalism, expertise, and dedication to my case. Mr. Andretz possesses a deep understanding of the law, and his strategic approach to my defense was nothing short of compassionate. He took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly investigated every aspect of my case, and developed a solid defense strategy tailored to my specific circumstances. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Andretz kept me informed and reassured, providing clear explanations and guidance every step of the way. His communication skills are exceptional, and I always felt confident that my case was in good hands. When it came time for court proceedings, Mr. Andretz demonstrated outstanding courtroom presence and legal expertise. He skillfully presented my case, and ultimately secured a favorable outcome on my behalf. All of the misdemeanor charges in both Courts were dismissed and three of the misdemeanor charges were reduced to Civil Infranctions with fines. His dedication, expertise, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients truly sets him apart. If you're in need of a top-notch defense attorney, look no further than Fraser Trebilcock. They are simply the best in the business and the attorneys at Fraser Trebilcock have other areas of expertise that may be able to meet your needs if you need legal services.

In June 2023, I was arrested for Misdemeanor OWI in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Being from out of state, it was very stressful and Robert took all the time in the world to explain to me the process and even put me at ease with the situation. The odds were against me, High BAC, 0.19. No one was... injured, and luckily it was my first arrest, so I got booked for OWI. I found Robert by looking through this website, and I felt sharing my experience might help someone else. Robert has extensive knowledge of the 47th District Court and how Judge Parker operates. He suggested I do some pre-trial assessments, MADD VIP, Highway Safety Class, Relapse prevention classes and self-testing for alcohol while I was awaiting trial. At first, I was worried this would all be in vain. But Robert managed to prove to the Prosecutor that I was doing my part and actually a good person. Judge Parker allowed me to appear before court by Zoom for the whole trial. In large part, due to Robert's and the prosecutor's suggestions. In the end, Robert got me a plea deal for Operating While Visibly Impaired. It is the lowest of the misdemeanor DUI charges. I was sentenced to 30 hours community service (in my hometown) and 12 months probation, which may be cut in half for good behavior. No jail time! This is the best outcome I could have hoped for. Robert answered my calls day and night, no matter how many times I asked the same questions over again. He would stay calm and make sure I was at ease with everything I was going through. He became more of a friend than an attorney in my eyes. Although I never wish to need his services again, I would absolutely call Robert the minute a situation like this would happen. I truly believe you will be best served by hiring Robert. He goes over and above for his clients. If you follow his guidance, you will not regret it!
