Criminal Defense

This attorney did not advocate for my case. Initially he had all kinds of experts and ideas. Following my arrest, he did not advocate for bail reduction immediately. He was unresponsive to my phone calls. He was poorly prepared at my bail hearing. Finally, out on bail, he did little to nothing of... what he planned initially for my defense. He seems burnt out, judgmental, and lazy. I am grateful to have new representation elsewhere

Replied last July 09, 2019

This particular client did not want to admit his wrong doing nor cooperate with the necessary experts I proposed. He was in total denial of the overwhelming evidence against him. He is totally incorrect about his bail issues and bail hearing. The bail was reduced by 50%. The new lawyer he subsequently retained found the same problems with this client. I was negotiating his case, that is when he became delusional. My negotiations were for 2 years in state prison. He went to trial with his new lawyer, who was also a good attorney. The client turned down all offers to settle his very serious criminal case. The JURY found this client guilty on all charges. He was sentence by the Judge to 5 years in state prison. I give very little weight to his opinion to my law practice and legal competency.

A superb "top-notch" defense attorney

Mr. Fred Warner is a "10 out of 10"criminal defense attorney. His extensive criminal defense experience, together with the excellent and well respected relationship that he has with both the prosecution and the judges of the court, result in a win-win situation for his clients. In our case, a very se...rious legal felony, was "neutralized" to what I consider to be a wonderful outcome. Besides the above, he evokes TRUST and he has the PATIENCE OF A "SAINT", qualities that are RARE in the legal profession. I know that if you get in trouble with the law, you could not be in better hands. Just speaking from my personal experience with Mr. Warner.
