Good DUI Lawyer

I had recently gotten a DUI a few months ago, on a hung over morning after a night of heavy drinking. According to the officer’s report, my blood alcohol content level was in the range for a DUI charge and I was arrested in jail. I searched on Avvo to find a lawyer, and I found Fred Bienfrom BienLaw... Office, who specializes in criminal defense litigation, and as a DUI lawyer and traffic attorney. Fred helped me to get my DUI dismissed, with a few of his own tricks and his expertise and knowledge. As my blood alcohol level was just under the limit, he was able to help me get this charge off my hands and saved me not only thousands of dollars, he helped me to avoid revocation of my license, and having this criminal charge on my record. Thanks Fred for all your hard work!

Posted by Zinnia | October 14, 2014 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Great Traffic Attorney for my case. Knowledgeable, and very helpful lawyer! Thank you

Fred Bien helped me in the past when I was given a ticket for allegedly running a red light. I believe that I went and crossed the intersection as the light was still yellow. I found Fred through Avvo and wrote them an email and called them to see if anything could be done for my ticket. Fred was abl...e to take care of me and get the ticket taken off, which helped me in the end because I did not have to have increased insurance premiums. I just had to pay Fred a piece of what the ticket would have cost and now I am clear of the alleged traffic violation. I would recommend Fred Bien for any traffic related case.
