Waste of time and money

I hired Chris for help with an owl and at first was won over by his nice guy charm, we’re gonna be fine attitude, “don’t worry” promises. As time went on though I realized he was really doing no work at all on my case. He never went over a defense strategy with me, never reviewed discovery, just ...kept on pushing out court dates and giving me false hope. In the end he didn’t fight for me at all, simply accepted the states recommendation. He did NOTHING I couldn’t have done myself.

Chris did an absolute amazing job, I was looking at 120 days in jail and the possibility of losing my career, he told me exactly what to do in order to save my career. In the end he got me the minimum sentence and saved my career. He is veteran friendly and will go above and beyond to help you in you...r case. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

False Expectations, Minimim Effort, Horrible Follow Up

DO NOT HIRE!! I’m a professional automotive consultant who does not live in Green Bay. I got a warning for speeding on i43 going 79mph & as a result got charged with 2nd OWI blowing .101 on officer’s breathalyzer. I was not belligerent or swerving in the least bit. My only infraction should have been... speeding. I blew .08 when I arrived to the jail shortly after blood draw. I kept insisting on performing my own evaluation as mentioned in the consent form which was read to me by the police officer. I asked countless times how I was to go about performing my own evaluation because I’ve been blatantly false accused by other police departments in the past. I ultimately agreed to have my blood drawn with the understanding that I’d be able to get my own evaluation once released & that my license would remain valid. Ironic how sure enough, conveniently for them, the BAC results came back at .102 which bumped me up to the next level of severity on charges. When I asked Chris about performing my own evaluation on the first visit to his office he replied “no one’s ever done that” instead of informing me of the proper processes & procedures. There was minimal effort on Chris’ behalf throughout the entire process. Right away he set false expectations in regards to helping me w/ not losing my license since it’s essential for my career. He sent the initial administrative review letter to DMV which I appreciated. However, he absolutely dropped the ball when it got to the 2nd step in the process which involved submitting a judicial review through GB court system within a certain time period which HE NEVER DID!!! Multiple emails were ignored & I barely received follow up (if any) throughout my whole experience. I had to insist many times for a simple call back in regards to my questions. He then set false expectations AGAIN on our last appointment before my hearing making me plead no-contest since he’d be asking for 5 days opposed to 25 days in jail, a transfer to my county, & the possibility of getting gps bracelet for a fee which all sounded reasonable. When it came down to it, he asked for 15 days instead of the 5 days which we had discussed prior to hearing. He didn’t even mention transfer to my county where I’ve worked for 5 years & recently purchased my first home at. In the end I got 20 days in brown county jail, 13 months suspended license, 13 months interlock, assessment classes, and I don’t even know how many more fee’s that are yet to come as a result of his weak statements & poor consulting. After my hearing, he’s only responded to one email w/ a phone number to Brown County jail & Huber office. No initiative on Froelich’s behalf whatsoever. He has ignored me since in regards to helping me at least transfer to my county. Again, I don’t live in Green Bay.. it’s not easy for me to make a trip to get necessary paperwork which was the whole reason as to why I hired a lawyer. I hired him in the hopes that he’d help me thoroughly since I was appointed a public defender my first OWI for a .07 at the age of 20 when I got stuck in snow & could not afford a reputable lawyer at the time. I would have been better off representing myself. Complete waste of money.

YES!! Chris Comes Thru!!

We just got done with 8 months of dealing with a Felony DUI case with 4+ court appearances that with Chris's careful,diligent,extensive, Review AND Proactive execution of the facts of the case he got it DISMissed today!! Thank YOU CHRIS!!! You did a Great Job! I am Soooooo Relieved!! This is no...t the first time ive needed Legal help as I have had prior duis, tho years ago, and it was going to be a felony offense that I was facing. The circumstances and the whole situation of how the charges came about were pretty weak tho and Chris Capitalized on those Facts and the Case as a whole and he got it Dismissed! I feel Great and Relieved that he had the case and handled it as well and careful as he did. He went over everything that the prosecution had AND Listened to what I had to say and offer as well about the incident. He did not have a better than thou BS attitude and Wanted to hear what I had to say...keep that in mind... Had this not been resolved today he was prepared to take it further and all the way to Jury Trial if need be. He felt that sure about the case. IF he felt it was not going well, or good to take it that far im sure he would have informed me of that too. He and his staff, secretarys, also returned phone calls if I had any questions to be answered. Ive had other legal reps in the past, tho long ago, but Still, THEY did NOT Really Listen to what I had to say,offer, or even CARE!! They more or less just rolled over and just said "Umm, your going to jail. These are the minimums for the charges"....Pffff. They didnt even bother to try to fight the case.the charges! Do yourself a Favor and let Chris take your case or at the very Least give him a phone call and Talk to him about it and let him offer you his opinion. HE DOES Listen! And thats why im writing this... Thank You Chris!! Great Job!!! John M.

Best in the Bay Area

I hired Mr Froelich for a very serious drug crime. There were a total of 12 charges against me, six were felonies. He took the time to understand my case and the charges against me. He managed to negotiate a plea deal that ended up as two misdemeanors and a deferred judgement agreement for one of t...he felonies. The rest of the charges were completely dismissed. I HIGHLY recommend him!
