Orlando Bloom? No, even better, it's Frederik F. Stig Nielsen, an awesome litigator with award-deserving performances.

I know what you are thinking. Why would I hire Orlando Bloom as my attorney in this very serious, possibly even life-shifting, case? I get it; I too was skeptical. I mean the guy is a movie-star celebrity with prodigious appearances in not one but three epic movie series'. Good thing is, Frederik isn...'t Orlando (however, I just wanted to make it clear that I have not given up hope and I am betting that, within the decade and given Frederik's phenomenal litigation skills, Orlando just might be playing Frederik in a new upcoming lawyer-based documentary). All jokes aside, Frederik is a phenomenal lawyer who, with a stache mightier than Tom Selleck's "The Daddy", fought to reduce my pending DUI misdemeanor into two lowly, civil infractions. He tore apart the prosecution, uncovering serious issues related to the trustworthiness of the certification of Michigan datamasters. Furthermore, even when Michigan police and head toxicologist, Mark Fondren, refused that there could be any source of error in calibration tests coinciding with the fraudulent conviction of the only man eligible of certifying its accuracy, Frederik was able to point out areas of concern (areas that had been 'overlooked' or 'mistakenly interpreted' by the Michigan State Police, Mark Fondren, and his group of 'respectable, honest, and educated' scientists.) And, as Frederik's counter interrogation of Fondren proceeded, there was an increasing flow of unsettling details related to the maintenance and certification of Michigan datamasters. Eventually, the prosecution offered a plea deal and we accepted. So, I think it goes without saying that Frederik is not just adequate... he is a smart, confident man with eloquent verbose who will exhaust all possible avenues to get their clients the best outcome possible. I would strongly recommend hiring him and his partners, Betsy and Jesse.

Hands down one of the top Lawyers in the State of Michigan!

Fred will go to the mat and not tap out until he has achieved the best possible outcome. His knowledge of the law is second to none, and he will exhaustively research every possible legal precedent available in defense of your case. Beyond his impressive technical acumen, Fred truly cares about his... clients. I would highly recommend Fred, whether it be for a misdemeanor or a felony, as you will get the same dedication no matter the charge.

Vehement Defense

Last february i was charged for d.u.i.(bummer). A few hundred bucks and a slap on the wrist might be the answer for some....Not this reviewer. After consulting with a Mr. Frederik Stig-nielsen I had found my answer: never settle. Extremely helpful, professional staff, top notch service, class act al...l around. I 100% recommend their services and urge you to do the same. Trust me, it is worth it to exercise your rights to a vehement defense!
