Kudos for Mark

I have been a client of Mr. Fredrick's for almost ten years. During that time period he represented me in three cases. All of which resulted in excellent outcomes. Moreover Mr. Fredrick showed exceptional aptitude, perseverance and integrity. Overtime I have come to highly respect Mark as a professi...onal and a friend. Gene

Thank you

Mark Fredrick lopped five years off my prison sentence. If you are looking for a real litigator, I strongly recommend him. I hired Mark after five long years of fruitless appellate proceedings with other attorney's. Changing attorney's was not easy, but I knew Mark was the right guy because he spe...nt two hours on the initial consultation listening to what I had to say. He insisted on thoroughly researching my case and my issues before accepting any money from my family. Once Mark decided to take my case, it was a mere matter of ten months before I was being resentenced to a drastically shorter term. If your life is on the line like mine was, hire Mark Fredrick.

Honest, Seeks justice for your case, fearless in your defense

Absolutely I would recommend this attorney any and every time. When you're going in and meeting with attorneys you don't know what to expect, unless you know an attorney. We did not know Mr. Frederick before this. He is who he says he is. Mark Frederick can back up every word he puts out into the at...mosphere. He doesn't make broken promises. He tells you your options and what can happen. Then worst part is when you have to face the judge. But when Mark speaks on your behalf in court, your suddenly safe and relieved that you have this amazing attorney who is fighting for you in the midst of all that was wrong. I can see my brother. My brother can go to dinner with his children, he can breathe free air all day long. We can laugh together. I'm so grateful to him and his fearless stand in representing my brother. I'm so grateful.

I was so afraid that I was going to jail. Meeting you and watching you in action in court gave me such confidence. I watched you not give up. Thank you for giving my life back. I will recommend you to anyone that needs a criminal defense attorney. M.M

"I was hired to represent a client on a complicated post-conviction matter. I asked Mark for advice on a procedural question and, not only did he help me provide a very persuasive argument to the court, I was able to provide my client with even better results than we had anticipated. Mark's advice was a major part in our success and his clients are grateful for his knowledge."

Criminal defense lawyer | May 07

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"One of the great skills of a stellar criminal defense lawyer is knowing how to work a case up for trial. Mark treats every case is if it is going to trial, and treats his clients with dignity and respect. Mark knows when the right time to strike a deal, and also knows when to take a case to trial. I have seen Mark deliver one of the best closing arguments during a trial that won his client a virtual acquittal on a homicide case. He is very effective on persuading a jury, and also knows how to convince a Judge that he is right on the law. Mark goes to Court well prepared on every case. As a Public Defender for 11 years, I would trust Mark if my life was on the line."
