DUI case

I am here a free man today thanks to Mark Fredrick for all the hard work and dedication he put into my case. He never gave up on me even though it was a difficult case and took him almost 2 years to get the best possible outcome for me. So my story began when I was pulled over in Newport Beach in Oct...ober of 2022. After I was arrested and released, I was charged with a 2nd DUI violation after a 9 year gap from my 1st DUI conviction in 2013. I blew a BAC of .20 on my 2nd DUI arrest. I also had my Glock 26 with a 33 round magazine inside my car which I was also charged with having a loaded gun inside my car and a high capacity magazine. I had put myself in a really bad situation and I thought that I would be facing many years in prison due to all those factors. I fell into depression and was extremely scared about my situation. So I Googled for criminal defense lawyers in the OC. I met a few criminal defense lawyers but I wasn't really convinced by them. Then I found Mr. Fredrick and read all his reviews and wanted to meet him in person. When I met him at his office and we started talking about my case, I instantly felt a sense of calmness and safety. He gave me a game plan on what he would be able to do and told me that he couldn't make any promises. But after we finished our meeting, I felt it in me that this would be the man to help me out. So a week later, I hired him as my lawyer. Through out the entire course of my case, he kept me updated. I didn't have to go to all of my court dates because he would go for me. And on the dates that I did have to show up for court; it was extremely nerve racking everytime I stepped into the court room and faced the judge. But everytime Mr. Fredrick would stand next to me and he would speak to the judge; my nerves would calm down and I felt that I had the best lawyer by my side. Each court date would be extended so Mr. Fredrick would be able to keep on working on my case for the best possible outcome. Fast forward to August 2024, on my final 2 court dates, the court system still wanted to give me a mandatory 60 days in jail. That did scared me a lot because I would have to leave my job and my family. But Mr. Fredrick still fought for me and he was able to get me a plea deal if I agreed to plead "guilty" to the DUI charges, which was getting a 5 year informal DUI probation, attend an 18 month DUI classes, and complete a 6 month alcohol treatment program and attend a MADD program class and install an IID in my car for 1 year. My gun charges were dismissed. I took the plea deal because it was way better than doing 60 days in jail. I also didn't get house arrest. There is a 6 month jail sentence stay on my court order probation but as long as I do all my court order objectives that I need to complete by the certain due dates and not violate my 5 year DUI probation; then I would stay out of jail. And here I am today writing this review. I wanted to share my story. I am extremely grateful and happy that I had the best lawyer working on my case and standing by my side in the court room. I also want to thank his Secretary Kim for also keeping me updated on my case and setting up my meetings with Mr. Fredrick. I highly recommend this law office. They really care about you and will fight for the best possible outcome for you and not just take your money and leave you in the dark. I can finally feel inner peace and sleep better at night because of them. Thank you so much again.

Excellent Defense Team

I had multiple charges filed against me, with the possibility of spending the rest of my life in prison. After my first meeting with Mark Fredrick, I had complete trust that he would give me the best chance of winning our case. There was a lot at stake, as I have a wife and two young children. Mar...k, his co-counsel Cole Williams, and his assistant Kim work so well together. They made me feel secure that I had the best defense team protecting me and my family. Their private investigator, Farzin Noohi, is one of the best in the business and was able to help my case tremendously. Mark and his team were very experienced and helped me through the entire process from our first meeting through the end of the trial. Mark is genuine and caring, and is the rare lawyer that underpromises and overdelivers. There were times that I wondered how things were going, but looking back, I realized that Mark and his team knew what they were doing. Do not let the quiet times of the process worry you. Let me assure you that they work very hard behind the scenes, even if they don't talk about how much work they are doing to prepare. The best thing I can say is that I truly felt that they defended me like I was part of their family. Their hard work and preparation resulted in no convictions. Throughout my trial, my emotions were like a roller coaster, but at the most critical times, Mark, Cole, Kim, and Farzin came through. I highly recommend Mark Fredrick and his team.

Mark's advice was a major part in our success and his clients are grateful for his knowledge."

"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."
