Frederick William Fascenelli Jr

Yes this has been the third or 4th time we have hired Fred and on this last one he did spectacular work.... Time is precious and he sure knew how to!!! Great Lawyer if in the future we need of your assistance i will not hesitate on calling you!! Great work Fred!!! And thank you for all your hard work........

My expierence with hiring Fred to represent me in my 1st and only adult felony case was wonderful. He always kept me informed as well as explained in legal standpoints how my case was going and every step he took as it unfolded. Never kept me out the loop always informed me properly and gave me leewa...y with payment methods as well! I was facing state prison time due to my prior firearm charges as a juvenile. I was wrongfully searched with out probable cause and Fred proved that in court with a motion to supress and we won! Definelty recommend Fred to anybody who needs a lawyer. Thank you Fred!!!

Straight hustler right here man. Words can’t describe how much he impacted my life. I had a pending case for 9 months. The previous lawyer I had suggested me to this man especially since I was going to trial. Said “You pay the man and you will win the case”. Sure enough he won the Case and my charges... got Dropped. If you just got convicted call or text him ASAP because he will communicate with you through the whole process. Especially if your case is going to trail !!!! Call him ASAP !!! Literally picked up my case in one day prepared like I was his only client and killed it after 4 days and won !!! Remember I had a case for 9months and it only took 4 days too shut the DA down !!!! Your relationship with him is more than just a client it’s family! Alofas

Fred is the 5th paid lawyer I have used during my criminal career. My connect spoke so highly of him I was naturally skeptical. But after losing all 4 of my prior cases (2 of which I should’ve won), I gave him a shot. INITIAL CONTACT - I sent him a text explaining my case. It was after 6pm & I did...n't expect a reply but he called right back & set up a meeting. He was calm & reassuring. HIS OFFICE - Before meeting, I looked at his "office" on Google Maps. It's pretty cool, a big old 2 story house converted to offices. There was plenty of free parking. His office was upstairs & unique. He doesn't mess w a receptionist or share space w other lawyers. He answers the door himself. The décor is all dark brown wood & perfectly suited to the "house" it's in. I felt comfortable. OUR MEETING - My case was complicated w many unknowns. I wasn't even sure of the charges against me. He heard me out, then made a single call to the DA's office & sweet-talked his way into getting the info I had been unable to get myself. I felt like I was watching the Rockford Files. His fee was surprisingly reasonable as was the payment plan. And it was in our agreement that if he got the case dropped right away, I'd get a substantial portion of my fee back. What criminal defense lawyer does that?! COURT APPEARANCES - My case took many turns over the next 16 mos. Fred was exceptional at playing the delay game and stringing things out when I wanted him to. He consistently manipulated the court into moving my case to the front of the line so we could leave before anyone else. (If you've been to court a few times, you KNOW that's a big deal.) It was truly impressive how he managed to pull it off so many times. In fact, on more than 1 occasion, he was the last lawyer to check in, he'd apologize for being late, & we'd STILL be the 1st to leave! (There is nothing like walking out of a courthouse at 9:30am, removing your stupid jacket & tie & feeling alive again!) All of that was fantastic but I still wasn’t sure he was up to the complexities of my case or if he'd end up doing what each of my previous lawyers did - talk a good game but in the end, pressure me to take a deal rather than resist & fight the good fight. Fred isn't even aware of this but at some point, I lost faith in him. It wasn’t his fault. The DA refused to offer me less than 4 years & I didn't know what Fred was thinking because he’d get us out of court so fast, we barely had time to talk. I always felt my case was pretty good but I'd lost good cases before & I started to panic. I had another referral to a top lawyer in LA so I decided to meet w her. But when she called back, I wasn't impressed. She barely listened to the facts, said we didn’t need to meet & threw out a fee of $25,000 that had to be paid in full before she’d take over the case. Looking back, it was the best thing that ever happened. $25K was SO MUCH HIGHER than what I was paying Fred, I accepted I was “stuck” w him & from that day forward, I put all my faith & trust in him & RELAXED. I stopped wearing suits to court & sure enough, the momentum changed. Fred admitted he didn't know a ton about some of my charges - counterfeiting & trademark infringement of pharmaceuticals - but he did research at night & what struck me was he actually enjoyed it. It wasn’t drudgery to him at all - he got off on learning new stuff. (It's really good when your lawyer talks like that!) THE RESULT – At my prelim which lasted all day, Fred went toe-2-toe w the paid experts flown in by the DA. But the truth is defendants NEVER win at the prelim. Judges ALWAYS hold cases over for trial w the scantest of evidence. But not this time. In closing, Fred was so persuasive, the Judge threw out the charges on the spot & my case was over. Not only that, but now he’s pursuing a civil case on my behalf against the cops, the police dept, the drug co. & the P.I.'s they paid to set me up. Yah, I recommend this guy & his ever-present magical chapeau.
