Highly recommended

Lance Fryrear did an amazing job with my case. He was able to get my malicious mischief third degree dismissed in a tough court for which I will be forever grateful!

Posted by Nathan | January 04, 2012 | DUI & DWI

Truly second to none.

Over the past five plus years lance has been my lawyer representing me in a number of matters. I was charged with my third and fourth DUI back to back at the age of twenty one and knew it was time to find a good lawyer. Thankfully I was referred to lance by a friend and he took my cases while working... with me on a payment plan. Lance handled my cases with the upmost professionalism and we settled on a deferred prosecution. Afterwards I had a couple more mishaps with my ignition interlock device which he also represented me on. We had great success on these matters as well. I finally thought I had pulled my head out when I got busted again driving without an ignition interlock again about six months ago. This violated my deferred prosecution and I was looking at the possibility of a fine and jail time. I called lance, he quoted me a very fair price and we went to court. He got my charge dismissed in one court and when we went to my deferred violation hearing he convinced the judge that since I had only three days left on my deferred she should dismiss this case as well. She did and my family and I were very grateful! This man is a top notch attorney and I would highly recommend him to anybody!

When I first talked to Lance on the phone, I could tell he was a down-to-earth person who took the time to listen, and I was comfortable setting up a meeting to dicuss my case. He is very attentive, easy to talk to, and explains options thoroughly. I was able to contact him with updates and he kept ...me informed all the way through my case. He is obviously very informed and knowledgable of the court system having been a former prosecutor, and this is a great benefit to his clients. There was not a lot of time wasted in court, as he was able to work with the prosecuting attorney and had my case dismissed before it went to trial. I would highly recommend Lance Fryrear.

Thank you Lance Fryrear! What a great attorney you are!!

Recently I got involved in an incident that led to a misdemeanor charge against me. I was looking to find someone who would not only fight hard for me, but would also resolve the case with the best possible outcome available. In order to find the right attorney for my case I started doing my home w...ork and began talking and meeting, but at the end of the day I unable to find someone that I liked and would be suitable to represent me. I then met with Mr. Lance Fryrear. From the moment of our initial conversation on the phone I felt a positive vibe towards him and agreed to meet him in his office to discuss further about my case. We spent almost an hour talking about it and the charges made against me. Not only he was compassionate and sympathetic towards me, he made every effort to make sure that I was comfortable and at ease during the whole time I was there in his office talking with him. He seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about the type conviction and offered me the potential settlements that he thought he could pull negotiating with the prosecutor. I liked his approach and boldness and then proceeded to make him an offer to represent me at the court and he gladly accepted. What made me chose Mr. Lance over other attorneys were his experience, courteousness and respect to the client, enthusiasm to fight hard for you, and of course his professionalism. I think being a former prosecutor not only he has all the needed skills, knowledge, expertise, but also has an edge over other attorneys. His reputation, sincerity, and honesty speak for itself, and he delivers results as promises. He has many unique qualities which I think separate him from the rest of the attorneys. In my humble opinion Mr. Lance is one of the very best, if not the best attorneys out there in Seattle area. I would highly recommend Mr. Lance.
