Best Lawyer Ever!!!

I feel like I owe my life to Fred. Absolutely the best criminal lawyer there is. DO NOT face a criminal case without him. Very smart, clear, attentive, dependable, and reliable. I highly recommend everyone to hire Fred.

Excellent Attorney

When I got myself into some trouble, I was desperate to find someone to help. I did some extensive research and found Fred to be the most suitable attorney for my case. He has built a very positive rapport with his clients and has a great deal of experience and knowledge for his field of work. I c...alled several attorneys and Fred was the fastest to get back with me and he set up an appointment for the next day. He did some research for my case, and if he didn't know an answer, he would call someone else to get the right answers to help. I think communication is key when dealing with time sensitive situations, and he gone above and beyond that. He is diligent, professional, and really cares about your well being. He is easy to talk to and you can feel confident that he will find every opportunity in the details to win your case. I have referred several friends to him and he has helped every one of them in their favor. I would recommend Fred to anyone! Thanks, Fred!

Everyone sees Fred has good reviews on here. In addition, he is highly educated; graduating both from UT and UC .. he is quiet and well spoken, yet inside lies an opportunist; pursuing the weakest link in the evidence to win your acquittal. I agree with the others on here, he is driven, professional..., easy going and has empathy. he did not judge me, and for this i am grateful.

A+ Professional Understanding Lawyer

I was in need of help fighting a class B misdemeanor charge and was referred to Fred Dahr by a friend who had their case successfully beaten by him. Fred is a pure professional but very understanding. After contacting him for the first time, I was emailed detailed instructions on what I would need to... do in order for him to help me fight my case. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. When my court date arrived, Fred was in the courtroom on time and greeted me instantly. We talked about my case and what we would we need to do to fight it. I did my half and followed Fred's instructions, and he got me into a pretrial diversion program. Fred told me that he was very persistent with the district attorney and finally got them to sway the decision in my favor. I had no idea what to do for my case and Fred walked me through it until the end. He also followed up afterwords which is going above and beyond for a lawyer. I highly recommend Fred to anybody who is in need of legal assistance. Fred is very fast and easy to get a hold of, and most importantly on time, professional and persistent.

Aggravated robbery

I have not found the convictions and I'm horrible criminal background. But I have been in trouble in over 5 years and one day I was falsely accused for aggravated robbery. I was enhanced and then we try to give me 15 years. And my court appointed attorney told me that I was going to lose and that I w...as going to get life in prison if I took at the trial. But I called Fred and that was the best decision I've ever made in my life. From the beginning he told me that this is a weak case. He fought for me. He actually cared about me. He was willing to work with me on payments. He even cut me a deal and cut some of it off the top. This is a good attorney very blunt let you know the truth about what's going on. I would highly recommend him if anybody is looking at any Criminal offense. He got my aggravated robbery fully dismissed and he refused to take anything but a dismissal he was a great man
