Military in North County LOOK HERE!

In August I was not only arrested for a DUI, but felony resisting arrest as well. The circumstances of my arrest were definitely unusual, but the ramifications on both my personal and professional life were extreme. I had no idea how to find the "right" lawyer and was lucky enough to find Mr. Fremo...nt on this website. The advice I was given prior to finding a lawyer was to make sure he/she was well respected and well known in the specific area (North County), that way the Judge's, DA's, etc., were all familiar with your attorney and more apt to work with them. Mr. Fremont had the highest rating I could find and that reputation is well deserved. If convicted I not only faced costly fines and prison time, but I would lose my career in the military (11+ years) as well. I also did not have a lot of time to have this matter resolved because I was due to change duty stations to the East Coast in the next month. I contacted Mr. Fremont from this site, he responded shortly after and we were able to set up a meeting that evening. From the beginning Mr. Fremont seemed extremely knowledgable and he was able to set my mind at ease. He was able to have my hearings expedited and was always available if I had questions or concerns. End result, DUI dismissed and resisting charge reduced to a misdemeanor! This saved my career and my orders! If you are questioning whether or not it is worth it to retain a lawyer (especially if money is your concern) please listen when I say to SPEND THE MONEY and hire the best that there is. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Fremont and would have no doubt about retaining him if I ever needed his services again (God Forbid).

After blowing a 0.13 and recording a 0.14 blood test, NOT GUILTY!

Excellent, professional experience from first contacting him the day after my arrest, all the way through trial and reaching a verdict. The entire experience took just about 9 months and Mr. Fremont and his team kept me calm and informed with the latest information as my case moved on. Everything f...rom DMV hearings to court appearances, he takes care of it. As stressful as the ordeal was, he was extremely honest and remained positive even when I was feeling far from it. What looked like a simple open and shut case for the prosecution (0.13 breath test taken at the time of driving, 0.14 blood test result), turned out to be a courtroom battle resulting in 12 jurors deciding "not guilty" and me being acquitted of all DUI charges. Mr. Michael Fremont is an extremely intelligent and experienced attorney in the realm of DUI/DWI cases and I recommend his services to anyone in need of a solid defense team.

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.
