I received a dui last year. I spoke with many lawyers, Fremont was the last one I met. We did a little research and knew that he had been in the field for a long time. We heard the hype "San Diego's most feared DUI attorney". He was less expensive than some and when he met with us he seemed trustwort...hy as far as I could tell based on a half hour conversation. So I paid him $1200 for handling the DMV hearing which came long before they even filed the criminal charges. The 1st troubling thing was that the day after our first meeting he needed to be reminded of nearly all the facts from the previous day. He would have to be reminded who I was 2 more times before he was done representing me. But at that point I had spoke with so many lawyers and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because he talks with a lot of people and mostly because I didn't want to continue the lawyer search. I should have listened to my better judgement. His entire demeanor was different the next day when I came to pay. He made odd conversation about a movie called "Savages". He again tried to pressure me into paying for the DMV and Criminal hearing when I hadn't been charged yet criminally and didn't end up getting charged criminally for another 7 months. After paying contacting him was difficult. In total he called me once the day I left a message to schedule an appointment, once the next day to confirm delivery of payment and then again 2 days after the DMV hearing had already taken place. I got the maximum penalty from the DMV and decided to go with a public defender for the criminal trial.

Having had a public defender, I certainly wish I would have washed dishes for a year to pay for Mr. Fremont's legal services. He literally educated Judge Camarena and Deputy City Attorney Nicholas Thomo as to the letter of the law and when someone is or is not required to appear in court. He had prin...ted handouts for the Judge and the City Prosecutors. The entire spectating court room as well as the aforementioned were jaw-dropped and stupefied. He commanded the entire court room and made Nicholas Thomo look like a law school dropout. Oh how Mr. Thomo tried to save face, but Mr. Fremont was not having it. It's apparent that some people are just gifted and love what they do. Mr. Fremont exudes confidence and not in the manner of false bravado as Mr. Thomo. Mr. Fremont's confidence comes from truly knowing the law and having the brass balls to back it up. Never have I seen an attorney with so much moxie, that the Judge and Deputy City Attorney kept quiet while Mr. Fremont have them a lesson from first year law school. It was an embarrassing situation for Camarena and Thomo as they looked as if that were second graders being scolded by the school principal. My legal outcome was much less than satisfactory, but watching Mr. Fremont in action was worth it. If I am ever in need of legal assistance in the future, and I hope that I am not, Mr. Fremont well certainly be my go to guy.

I received a felony DUI with a hit and run charge. I called Michael Fremont for legal assistance. Mr Fremont was very responsive to my case and was able to have my hit and run charge dismissed and lowered my charges to misdemeanors. Mr. Fremont kept me informed throughout the whole process. I highly... recommend Mr Fremont to anyone going through or needing legal services.

Even after all is said and done he has came to my rescue not once but twice since my case has ended in early September 2014. Which is when I had intended on writing this. He was the 1st lawyer I met with regarding my 1st and last DUI Case and I definitely made the right choice. Everyone was giving m...e grief for retaining a lawyer in a first offense . Everyone didn't know the entire story, I was actually charged with a Felony DUI/ drug possession, and a higher BAC (.16) I felt like I needed one since I had just gotten out of a messy custody battle. He is a very straightforward, no BS kind of attorney . He won't tell you something because it's what you want to hear like a lot of other attorneys will just to make a few bucks. He got me the best deal possible without going to trial ( financial decision) and has now gotten me 2 extensions and a warrant recalled for missing some of my probation terms . THANKS MICHAEL!!!
