Didn't put much effort in my case!

This attorney needed to be reminded of my case multiple times. Could never remember who I was. Took my 3k and kept insisting that I went to trial so he can COLLECT more money (3500) from me. I kept asking him to get me any type of plea agreement offer but it almost seemed as if he was unwilling to d...o so. Kept telling me there was no offer from the DA. What a waste of my money. I fired him and went with a free public defender. He brought my offer and story to the DA like I insisted with Fremont and was able to get me a wet reckless like I had asked. Much thanks to the public defender, no thanks to Fremont. Really felt like I had been scammed.

I take exception to this review. First, I never needed to be reminded who the client was. All my clients are given my cell phone so they can contact me anytime. Many times I am not at the office and have them call the office so that my assistant can have the file ready for me to call them back and discuss details of their case. Mr. Keokham neglected to inform that he was charged with a DUI WITH A PRIOR. I convinced the DA to strike the prior making this a FIRST DUI NOT A SECOND. I made 5 appearances on this case including a Motion to Suppress Evidence. I relayed all pertinent information to the DA to settle the case. I suggested that a trial may be necessary. To say that I did nothing is a gross misrepresentation. I discussed this case with the Public Defender and he advised me that my work on the case made the final offer possible. Initially turning a second DUI into a first .

So glad I went with Michael Fremont on my case. I contacted a few attorneys and Mike met with me the same day on a Sunday. He spent time hearing my story and took notes. At my DMV hearing he used an expert to testify and we won that case, no license suspension! He also met with the DA on the criminal... case several times and got it reduced too. Mike always returned my calls within hours and texts even sooner. He is really professional with fixed fees and kept me well informed of my rights.-Mandy

I was able to resolve this case with no license suspension and no alcohol offense on my client's record. Client pulled over at a checkpoint blew in a breath test over the legal limit.

BEST DUI ATTORNEY

Mr.Fremont kept me out of jail and kept me informed of everything through the process of going through my case. I think he is probably one of the best Attorney you want on your side in a DUI case !

He fought for my brother!!!!

My brother was arrested for a DUI a little over a year ago, and Mr.Fremont fought long and hard to continuously get my brother back into his DUI classes (for lack of attendance), always making sure we were up-to-date with all the court requirements in order for my brother to keep his license, and the... best part.. he finally got my brother off with just a wet and reckless! My brother is everyone's worst client, requiring so much extra work for Mr. Fremont and regardless, Mr. Fremont always had my brother's best interest and continued fighting! It's easy for attorneys to just take your money and not work hard for you, but no this one! When my brother just wanted to give up, Mr. Fremont really encouraged my brother to file an appeal, and good thing he did because he ended up getting my brother's charges AND fines lowered! Thank you Mr. Fremont!!!

It was great to have a client that "hung in there". I was actually able to get the client a "dry" not "wet" reckless . This means that he does not have an alcohol prior offense on his record.

Fremont for the win!

Mr. Fremont helped me with two cases and the outcomes would not have been what they were if it weren't for him! First case was for a DUI and he got it down to a wet reckless (or something less), which was GREAT. No extra fines, didn't have to do a school or community service, didn't have to attend co...urt at all. A year later he helped me with a case that was a real crappy situation- I was arrested for resisting arrest with battery on a police officer. It was multiple charges with the possibility of fines/jail time/permanent record/etc. I originally used a public defender who could care less about my case so I spent the money (worth every penny!) for Fremont again. After reaching out to him on a weekend night, he immediately responded, asking questions about the situation and whatever information I had for him to review. The next day he already had a game plan and when the court date came time... well, whatever tactics he used worked because the arrest was ruled unlawful (which the public defender wasn't even close to getting for me) and the other charge (battery on police officer) he got down to an "infraction for disturbing the peace". And again, no extra fines, never needed to show my (shamed) face in court, nothing more to deal with. Hopefully I won't need to use him for anything like this again but if I do, I will feel totally confident that he will get the best possible outcome for me! He's quick and to the point, easy to talk to and available to your (sometimes annoying or anxious) needs, knows the law inside and out and makes you feel much safer (and better) about whatever stupid situation you got yourself into! Go with Fremont and you'll sleep better at night :)
