An Outstanding Attorney

Simply put, Michael, is the best lawyer I have ever met. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field, is a good listener, and a compassionate, caring person who takes each and every case very seriously; he is like working with family. He patiently explains the legal process concerning your case simply... and competently. He wants the best for you thereby giving you his best work, working tirelessly, no matter how many cases he is presently working. I highly recommend this fine gentleman. Trust me; he will energetically represent you to get the job done.

Bad Results

I hired Mr. Fremont to defend me against an alleged .10 BAC DUI charge. Although to this day I still profess my innocence, I told Mr. Fremont early and often that I would accept a plea deal to get this behind me and move forward and not jeapordize my career of 15 years any further. Mr. Fremont neve...r attempted to negotiate a plea deal, and instead insisted that a jury trial was the best course of action. During that trial, Mr. Fremont made some questionable judgment decisions; one of which was not to use my written medical report which documents my hiatal hernia, since I was led to believe that we were building our case around my acid reflux (GERD) as the reason for my elevated BAC, which is in fact true. The Jury never learned anything about me, never had any idea that I had a medical condition that elevates breathalyzer results as published by the American Medical Association. The Jury found me guilty on both counts (a) and (b), and the Judge showed zero leniencies at sentencing, during which Fremont hardly put up a fight for me. I've never been arrested prior to this, never been in trouble with the law, never even stepped foot in a court room in my entire life; and haven't had so much as a parking ticket in the last 10 years. I would not recommend Fremont’s services.

Great Job Mike

Mike did a great job of handling my case. I was accused of DUI with a BAC of .16 from a blood test. Mike managed to have the case plead down to a wet/reckless with only a fine and a few days community service, before we even went to trial, saving me a substancial amount of money. Mike kept me info...rmed, and was well known by his contemporaries and even recommended to me by fellow lawyers. I highly recommend his services.

None Better !

After being arrested for a DUII, I contacted an attorney friend of mine for a referral. After an exhausting search, he recommended I hire Michael Fremont. For a very reasonable fee, Michael fought on my behalf for 9 months while the DA stonewalled and refused to turn over evidence. He never wavered f...rom his expectations and all documentation was ultimately received. When the District Attorney refused any meaningful settlement negotiations, we set the matter for trial. The trial lasted over 4 days during which time Michael was able to discredit the arresting officer as well as the “expert” witness hired by the prosecution. Because he has always focused on DUII defense; he was able to produce evidence to impeach the expert’s testimony as it directly conflicted with testimony he’d given on another case several years back. Michael believes in what he does and it shows. He’s passionate about the law and understands its applications and nuances better than any other lawyer I’ve known. He constantly processes information before him and formulates solid arguments. He’s well respected in the community and deservingly considered the #1 DUII Defense counsel in San Diego County. At the end of jury deliberations, I received a not-guilty verdict on the (a) count, the jury hung on the (b) count. The Court declared a mistrial and though the DA argued to have the (b) count left open for a retrial; Michael argued vehemently for a dismissal. The court agreed and the (b) count was dismissed.

Excellent DUI Attorney

Mr. Fremont was an excellent choice for a DUI attorney. I would highly recommend him. He listened to what I needed accomplished to save my military career and made it happen. The DUI charges were reduced to dry reckless on a borderline case, eliminating the need to risk a full DUI charge at a trial.
