Mike is a great lawyer he saved me from getting a ignition interlock device which was huge for me. My BAC was a .23 and he still got me off. Mike is a little rough when you first get to know him, but trust me he's got the experience to get you the best outcome possible. If you got a DUI he is the ...man. You can't beat the amount of experience he brings!

From the first phone call to the meeting of our appointment, I trusted Michael to go forward with my case. I was tested numerous times by the police by breathalyzer but will still sent to jail. I knew I needed a lawyer, and specifically a D.U.I. lawyer. One who ONLY deals with cases related to po...tential D.U.I's and has a RECENT history of winning cases to get the fairest outcome. My case is still in the beginning stage, but within one month, I was able to get my license back. My friends told me it wasn't worth it, but without a lawyer I knew wouldn't have had a chance and would at the systems mercy without a license. Michael has been professional, will support the law and YOUR RIGHTS UNDER IT and he is a cool person who has lived & surfed in Encinitas for a long time not some *** who just wants your money. He has always been reachable and has always called me back to make sure my questions are answered. I feel better knowing I have him on my side.

Michael Fremont was able to get my entire record expunged(which included 4 different charges. 1felony 3 misdameanors) He did this in an expedient manner. Each case was in a different county and he handled each case with professionalism and personal care. Bottom line is Mr. Fremont was true to his wor...d and got results.

Let me start by saying I'm not new to the legal world. I have had my fair share of drinking related issues. That being said Mr. Fremont is by far the absolutely worst DUI attorney I have ever retained. We set up a meeting in his San Diego office that he only uses to meet with clients. After we went ...over my charges which was my 4th DUI in a 10 year span, 3 of which were in another state. When he informed me that CA goes back 10 years of DUI's and my current one would be a felony I began to sweat. He looked me straight in the eyes and said I had a good case and he was so excited to defend a case like mine because the some laws had just changed of the way the police department took my blood. I was not up to date of CA DUI laws and how strict they are but Mr. Fremont looked me square in the eyes again and insured me that I would not be looking at jail time so I hired him right on the spot. This is where my confidence in him ends, the first 3 times I had court he didn't even know who I was so id have to approach him. He would tell me everything is going to be ok and not to worry. Well I have no choice to worry seeing how my job and life were on the line. As time and court appearances went on things got worse and worse. He lost every single motion hearing we took before the judge and manage to piss off the DA and judge on a regular basis. The court reporter had to ask him to speak up almost every time we were in court and was quite rude when making statements to the judge. All this happening while he's assuring me this isn't a jail case and I wont be going to jail. After losing all the motions we have one last chance by having a bench trial on my prior DUI's in another state. Well we go before a judge that doesn't hear a lot of cases like mine so she was a little lost herself. Mr. Fremont had his worst performance at my bench trial, he argued against a fresh out of law school DA and was embarrassed. Once I was found guilty on felony DUI, the judge increased my bail from 2500 to 50k, Mr. Fremont looked at me and said "oh wait I didn't know your bail was that low". I told him that he was my attorney and those were facts he was suppose to know. So off to jail I go for 30 days until my sentencing hearing. Mr. Fremont at this point begins to tell my girlfriend and my boss that I may be looking at serious time. Umm why would he say that when he's been telling me throughout this process not to worry jail wouldn't be on the table? So I go into my sentencing hearing completely blind and not knowing what to expect. At my hearing he hands me a copy of the probation report and that they are recommending 365 days in custody and 3 years on probation with my custody to serve half of the 365 in a work release program. So the hearing begins and right from the start Mr. Fremont isn't prepared. The DA completely embarrasses Mr. Fremont and made me look like a monster, everything I asked Mr. Fremont to speak on in my behalf he literally told me to shut up or I was going to prison. I have recently started looking for attorneys to maybe fight an appeal or a sentence reduction, every single attorney I have talked to laughed when I said who my attorney was. If that's not a warning sign I don't know what is.

I live in Northern California and was in San Diego for an event. I was arrested for a DUI and given a temporary license. I was just in San Diego vacationing and didn't have time to run back and forth between Northern and Southern California preparing for the case and attending court hearings. I conta...cted Mr. Fremont and he made all the court appearances, kept me informed on the progress of the case and answered all my questions. He was able to get my DUI dismissed and the DMV did not suspend my license. We communicated by phone and email. I especially appreciated having our email communications available to keep track of the case. I haven’t needed the services of many attorneys, but this gentleman put me at ease and I was comfortable trusting him. Because of his representation I was able to continue working and living my life while my case progressed through the court system. I recommend Mr. Fremont to anyone charged with a DUI in San Diego!
