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.

Michael Saved my Naval Career! Wet/Reckless with .19 BAC!

Michael Fremont successfully pled my case (first time DUI) down to a wet/reckless with a BAC of .19, saved my driver's license and kept me from serious trouble with the Navy. He talked me through the entire DUI process and handled all my court proceedings - I only appeared in court twice. He was ve...ry knowledgable about military proceedings concerning DUIs and understood the gravity of the offense on my career. He used his considerable contacts in the City Atty's office to get a continuance and eventually found a City Prosecutor who was willing to plead down a high BAC case to a wet/reckless. I highly recommend him to anyone who is faced with this offense, especially someone in the armed services or from out-of-state who doesn't know California laws. Thank you again Mr. Fremont!

Mrt4.. Fremont is the best

I had a situattion that others attorneys told me was helpless. I had a high blood alcohol level and no defense. I was looking at a 9 month first conviction program and 15 days of custody along with a $2000 fine. Mr. Fremont was able to manuver the case to where the prosecutor was forced to give me a ...better deal. I received a $1800 fine, 3 days of public work service and the standard 3 month alcohol program. He saved me alot of extra grief!

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
