Best defense attorney

Mark is an excellent attorney. Without him I would have absolutely been doing significant jail time. I was facing multiple felony charges and looking at some serious time. Mark examined the evidence and I left with absolutely nothing on my record. Mark has great relationships with everybody in every ...single courtroom I ever entered and is very well respected and known. Every time mark walked into the court room all of my nerves were instantly relieved. His whole team is absolutely fantastic. To anyone looking for a defense attorney, I would just like to say look no further. Mark is undoubtedly the best defense attorney in Orange County. He helped my brother tremendously as well and saved my family a tremendous amount of grief. I cannot say enough how thankful I am for mark!

Best Lawyer

Mark is an excellent lawyer. When he represented my matter, he fought tooth and nail to win my case. My case had numerous felonies filed by the prosecutor but after fighting relentlessly during the preliminary hearing, the case became very weak. He filed a 995 motion which was very complicated and... lengthy. The case was dismissed! Not only he has complete knowledge of law but he makes his presence known in the court room. My case involved assignment of many judges and every judge respected Mark and several times went along with Mark's suggestions because he seems to have built a very strong credibility and reputation in the court system. His work in the court room is beyond what you will see on TV. I did not think that in the real world, an attorney could be so articulate and a true fighter for his client. His court room skills are admirable. I realized from day one that I hired a heavy weight lawyer and he proved it every step of the way. My family is very thankful to Mark Fredrick and his assistant, Kim S.

As a past client of Mark Fredrick, I strongly recommend him to anyone facing criminal litigation.

Mark Fredrick lopped five years off my prison sentence, and 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 attorneys. Changing attorneys was not easy, but I knew Mark was the right guy because he spent... two hours on the initial consultation listening to what I had to say and 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, get Mark Fredrick.

Recommendation

A lawyer of honesty and integrity. Very knowledgeable and knows the courts systems, the players and how to get things done properly. I trusted him with my most precious possesion, my son. So I would recommend him highly to anyone. His assistants are also always on top of things, communicative, an...d knowledgeable.

"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."
