Stellar Service

Chris came highly referred from a tenured lawyer I'd initially contacted for representation regarding a probation revocation. Facing jail time, I was mentally and emotionally a wreck. From the very first conversation, Chris gave me hope and explained the law as well as his plan to assist me in keepi...ng my freedom. Although he made no promises and was very clear on every possible outcome, his professionalism and knowledge kept me reassured. I was able to get a quick response every single time I reached out to him or his office. Chris was friendly and a delight to work with considering the circumstances. Regardless, if my outcome went in my favor or not, I would unquestionably recommend Chris Fredericks.

Did what he set out too do

I explained my case and even though I miss handled my interactions with the police, he managed to get five of my six charges dropped including 1 felony.

DWI

When I was arrested for a DWI in Collin County, I did not believe I had any chance of avoiding a conviction for a DWI. I had a car accident, admitted to drinking, and a blood-alcohol concentration of almost 0.15. I had never been arrested before and I had no idea what to expect. Mr. Fredericks wen...t to work to get the best possible result for me and ultimately my case was dismissed before I even had to go to trial! Mr. Fredericks was ready for every possible situation and I knew he would give me the best chance for a positive outcome. He took the time to explain the entire criminal process to me from arrest to trial. He was prepared for court and very knowledgeable about the law. He reviewed all the police reports and evidence and took the time to explain potential defenses for my case. By the time we were set for trial, Mr. Fredericks had the entire trial planned, from motions to exclude evidence to potential witness issues for the prosecutors. Without his help, my life would have been forever changed.
