Very Knowledgable DUI Attorney

I was charged with DUI with a 110 MPH speeding allegation. Charges were reduced to a wet reckless. After over 8 months Mr. Fremont's Cross examination of the arresting officer in a pretrial motion got the DA to finally make an offer of the lesser charge.

4th DUI Defendant

I retained Michael Fremont because I had been charged with a 4th DUI and was looking at being sentenced to 180 days in jail manadory. Michael was able to arrange for me to do time, and get credit for time, acrued in a residential treatment center instead. He did an excellent job and for his hard work..., I am forever greatful.

A Great DUI Defense Lawyer; Professional, Very Experienced and Detailed, Aggressive and Tough against the Opposition!!

I cannot speak too highly of Mr. Michael Fremont, without doubt he is the best attorney I have ever worked with, and retained the services of. Back in April 2010 I was unfortunate enough to get charged with a second DUI while driving back home. After my first DUI I promised myself never to be so ...foolish, however as I have learned that a second DUI can happen all to easily. Devastated at my own stupidity, and facing some hefty charges; 90days – 1 year in Jail , an 18 Month Course, another 5 years of probation, and additional charges due to the fact that I had violated my current probation. I turned to Mr. Fremont, his advise was sound and very factual, one of the many qualities I admire about him is that he does not hide issues, and lets you know directly the likely outcome of your case ; with some 20+ years experience of DUI defense he has seen every DUI case permutation. Michael explained clearly the jeopardy I was in, while many DUI lawyers would have recommend to try and go for Wet Reckless plea bargain charge, Mr. Fremont recommend against the course of action. The wet reckless charge, although a lesser charge is a prior-able offense, and I would be setting myself up for a third DUI which has some dire consequences . As my BAC level was not screamingly high, he recommend taking my case to court for a full Jury trial. I was apprehensive, however I am so pleased that we took this strategy, Michael’s preparation for the trial was very detailed and thorough , he had prepared some 20+ motions to put my defense on the best footing possible. He had also done his homework and had evidence to the fact that the police BAC measuring equipment was badly calibrated and reading high. In the opening arguments he took the prosecution apart with his own unique aggressive presentation style, and surgical precision laying out the true facts of my case for the jury. We were only 45 minutes into the real trial proceedings, when the prosecutor violated one of the motions Mr. Fremont had filed, the Judge had no option but to declare a miss-trial and all the charges were dropped against me. I cannot thank Mr. Michael Fremont enough, I highly recommend his services there is no better lawyer in San Diego!!

The best choice I ever made!!!

To this day I have never personally met Mike, I looked up his site & called him. Got my information & moved forward with my case. He will only discuss what he knows (which I like & very professional), instead of telling me what I wanted to hear, which in the end he did. The criminal case dissmissed &... going back for another hearing at DMV. I can't tell you how happy I am I made the call to him, I will always be grateful Mike, Thank You!!!

Knowledgeable, Reliable, Dependable, and Excellent Stress Reliever!

While going through the stressful DUI process, it was real assuring for me to know that Michael took any of my calls or returned my calls as soon as he could regarding my serious concerns and keeping me informed of my status. I work very demanding and long hours. Consequently, it was also relievi...ng to me to have a dependable lawyer, such as Michael, to attend one of my two court dates without me present as well as attending the other with me. Just recently, I received a warrant for my immediate arrest and was ordered to turn myself in at the courthouse. I hadn't signed up for my DUI classes, however, I was still within my 90 day requirement before being seen as defiant. The court had me noted as being past my 90 days and ordered the arrest. I was frightened and wasn't sure how to deal with the situation. I had someone drive me to the courthouse and park near the building but I was too frightened to go in without speaking to someone from the courthouse first. I spoke with a court clerk and she said there would be a strong possibility I would be arrested upon entering and checking in. I then called and spoke to someone at the Public Attoreney's office for that district. He said, "Go into the courthouse and immediately look for someone with a tie, he will probably be an attorney, ask him for help." This was unsettleling so I called the Public Attorney's office for another district. The woman who answered stressed that I need to get in touch with the attorney who originally handled my case. I called Michael Fremont (I hadn't spoken with him for 5 monnths simply because there was no need.) He happened to be at the courthouse. He asked for my case number and within 30 minutes, had my warrant pulled and a newly established, later date documented for me to sign up for classes. I truly regret my poor gudgement in getting a DUI in the first place. With Michael Fremont's guidance and ongoing assistance, it put me in a better, more secure mind-set, inabling me to fous on learning from my mistake and living a more productive and healthier lifestyle.
