He'll Take Your Money, Then You'll NEVER Be Able To Reach Him!

As a business professional and an avid traveler, I have dealt with attorneys for business, civil, and traffic cases throughout my life and in many locations around the world. Christopher T. Froelich is the worst attorney I have encountered, do not hire this man! I hired Mr. Froelich to represent an ...old friend of mine who got in to trouble with OWI. She had never been in trouble with the law before. I paid a $5,000.00 retainer to Mr. Froelich after a few phone conversations but was not able to reach him after that, nor was my friend or another member of my friend's family. Even as the court date approached we were unable to reach Mr. Froelich to give him another payment, which was required for other issues that arose with the case. This went on several times and caused delay after delay. I'm not going to go into any more detail as it would serve no purpose. Just look at all the other one star revues concerning Christopher T. Froelich and believe them.

Lazy Attorney

Chris Froelich seemed very nice and humorous at first. He acts like he is attentive and cares for your personal needs and life but in reality all he has done is keep asking for plea deals. My first time having him as a hired attorney, he failed miserably with my court case. I was stuck with Possessio...n of THC and Obstruction when I was NOT even present at the time of this incident. Now that I have another case, I hired him again because me and Chris Froelich had kept in touch due to him coming into my job with his family. I decided he may be a good person and he would be able to help me if I knew exactly what I wanted with my case. He refuses to fight for my life and disregards what my concerns are. I asked him to take my new charges to trial and he laughed in my face. I have evidence and video recordings of him walking away from me. He has missed every single one of our scheduled meetings as well. He only met with me three times in the 3 years that this case has been on going. These pending charges has been a hinderance to my life and he doesn't care.

Bare minimal and false hope

I hired Chris to help with a 1st offense OWI. After a consult and telling him what happened, he said he thought he could help. He was very nice and friendly and seemed like he genuinely wanted to help. As a court date got closer it was obvious he wasn't doing much to prepare for anything. He was so b...usy I never got to talk to him and then he pushed things back. I'm pretty sure he did nothing to review the case or dashcam footage or anything until he absolutely had to when I was at the office because we finally had to respond to the court for the plea deal. In the end, he basically said he couldn't do anything and said I should accept the deal. I suggested trying to get the license revocation down because the cops had told me my license would be suspended immediately for refusal of the breath test and things got pushed out for months. In the end, the court refused that so after Chris did nothing but push things out I lost almost 3 months that I feel if I had just called the court and got a plea deal immediately I would have saved lawyer fees and already would be at least 2 months ahead on license revocation. After that was said and done I called to talk to Chris about help with ignition interlock exemptions on other vehicles in my name and after 3 calls and leaving messages with his office staff I have not heard back. It's now been over a month and nothing. His office staff seems unorganized and doesn't really know what is going on. They'll maybe pass along the info to Chris but good luck hearing back unless you haven't paid yet. Then they'll get your money and do the BARE MINIMUM which isn't going to help at all. If you are thinking about hiring Chris, DO NOT...you'll be better off talking to the court yourself especially in a first offense OWI.

25 years of pain!

Check the reviews as google puts the best at the top! Way worse the 3.4! I hired the man or I should say he agreed to take my case and never responded to my calls! Welcome to Just Ice to take all of your money and your parents if you let it go that far! This is not my country!!!

I'm not a spiteful person but I don't want anyone else to go through what I did. I hired Chris as my divorce attorney. Initially, he was very nice and had me convinced he could help. As time went on, the divorce became more complicated and it became very apparent he wanted to do as little work as pos...sible. Follow up was non-existent and I had to contact the office constantly for updates. Chris didn't work on my behalf, I wasn't given the help I needed (and paid for). When my x's attorney contacted his office with an unreasonable request, all I received was the forwarded message from the other attorney's office asking for a response. When I reviewed documents, I was the one who made recommendations for changes, not him. When the divorce was final, my x was in contempt of the divorce settlement. I reached out to Chris for help and received nothing. I had to hire a different attorney (who did a fantastic job). Please please do yourself a favor and do not hire him!
