Amazing Service Years After....

I received a DUI in 2004 and hired Michael Fremont to represent me. During my case I decided to move back to Minnesota from California and was required to take DUI classes. I completed my classes immediately when I returned to Minnesota. The school that I took the classes at was supposed to send m...y completion letter to the Vista Court which they never did. I was under the impression that all of this was behind me. In 2010 I went to renew my drivers license and there was a hold on it from the state of California. When I got a hold of the DMV in California they told me that I never completed my classes and my license was suspended and there was a warrant for my arrest. After trying to call the court for a week and not getting anywhere I decided to give my "former" attorney a call. I told Mike the situation and he told me to send him the paperwork that showed I completed my course in 2005. I faxed over the paperwork and with in days he had taken it to the court and solved my issues! I am utterly amazed! Six years has passed since he originally represented me and he didn't even hesitate to help me. No additional charge, just willing to do the right thing. I would recommend Mike to anyone! We all make bad decisions in our lives, it's a matter of learning from them and surrounding yourself with individuals that truly care. And Mike is one of those people!

TENACIOUS, INTELLIGENT, FEARLESS

Michael Fremont is the most "able", "aggressive" and "knowledgeable" attorney I have ever known or worked with. When I was arrested for a DUI in August of 2009 my life was turned upside down. I was humiliated and confused, feeling as if I'd entered a world ,about which, I knew nothing. I retaine...d another attorney to deal with the immediate legal and DMV problems hoping he would care enough to fight for my interests. I chose wrong and it became a communications nightmare. It felt as if my attorney was my enemy. What was really happening was I'd selected an attorney who marketed himself well but hadn't the knowledge, desire and ability to defend me. Then I began to do my homework, looking for the attorney with the best record for tenaciousness and ability. I chose Michael Fremont to take over, clean up the previous attorney's mess and prepare to take my case to court. Michael didn't just put me on his schedule to deal with later......he welcomed my review of the entire situation and took action immediately filing every motion appropriate to my case. When one of his motions, which was important to my case, was turned down he refiled insisting there were problems with the integrity of the officer who arrested me and the lab. that tested my blood samples. His persistence won the day and , voila!, he uncovered major inconsistencies which not only helped my case but potentially the cases of others. When faced with the reality of inconsistent lab testing, a doubt that my blood level was at or above the legal limit while I was driving and the very questionable reputation of the arresting officer the DA was embarrassed and the judge was "not pleased!!" Michael quickly "arranged" a change from DUI to "Dry Reckless." Michael called me immediately following the hearing and simply, but cheerfully, said the words "Dry Reckless." He was so excited to have saved me from my on-going nightmare and I was just so relieved it felt as if a 500 lb. burden had been lifted off of my shoulders. The entire story of my case would make a decent sized novel........this, I've learned, is not unique. That is why it is "EXTREMELY" important to select an attorney of Michael's caliber who has the ability to sort through the mess and find (or force out) the truth. I am not only recommending Michael Fremont to everyone who will listen, I'm also telling the amazing story of truth winning over a lie (or disinformation) because this man gave a damn about me.

Most Trustworthy and Knowledgeable DUI Lawyer in San Diego!

When I was in a bind(1st and only time), my family member who is also a peace officer recommended Michael Fremont. Mr. Fremont knows his stuff and is very confident and made the whole process as painless as possible. I walked out of the courtroom without a DUI, No classes to attend and a minimal fine...!!!

Great Job

I had a serious situation with my son that could have potentially affected his future. Because of Mr. Fremont's reputation, experience, and knowledge with his specific drug charge not only was my son's able to avoid incarceration, he was given a second chance to prove himself, to make a difference an...d I have Mr. Fremont to thank for that. He believed enough in my son. He knew what to do, pointed us in the right direction, advised us and gave us the best information for the resources we needed to get the help we needed. I would recommend his services to anyone

Excellent, Highly Recommended Defense Attorney

Mr. Fremont turned a potentially disastrous felony DUI charge into a manageable misdemeanor case. Faced with two out of state prior DUIs, I was on the brink of becoming a felon, losing my business and having to lay off ten employees. Mr. Fremont diligently challenged the district attorney's office ...and successfully tore through the red tape, eventually getting the charge reduced to a misdemeanor and reducing the potential sentence from a minimum 180 days in jail to a maximum possibility of 2 weekends in jail. He also successfully proved that the arresting officer wasn't diligent in advising me of all of my rights and all possible outcomes of a refusal. Finally, Mr. Fremont was successful in getting a charge of driving with a suspended license dropped also. I certainly hope that I don't find myself in the same position again, but I keep Mr. Fremont's number on direct dial, just in case. I highly recommend Mr. Fremont to anyone in a similar position.
