DUI case Winter 2013

Mr. Fremont is your best bet in San Diego county for beating your DUI case. I was arrested in February this year and talked to a couple lawyers before deciding on Mr. Fremont because he seemed to have more experience dealing with DUI cases than just about anyone around. He was honest with me in that ...he thought the best I could hope for would be a plea bargain to a wet and reckless, but the consultation with him was still reassuring. After that first meeting, I didn't really hear from Mr. Fremont much other than the occasional letter notifying me of important dates in my case; however, he was generally available to take calls and answer any questions I had. While I thought my case was pretty much unbeatable because I had blown a .13 on the roadside and had my blood drawn against my will, Mr. Fremont proved that to be very wrong. He charged $2600 to take care of my case, and it was definitely money well spent. Mr. Fremont will take care of everything related to your case and he will look at it from every angle. He will develop multiple arguments to fight for your rights in court. While I still lost my driver's license for a year with the DMV, Mr. Fremont was actually able to exclude evidence taken in a manner that violated my rights and this caused me to be able to plea the DUI down to just a speeding ticket! I can only recommend that you hire this attorney if you are fighting a DUI, even if it seems hopeless. My record is clean!

AMAZING

This man is a genius attorney. I felt completely at ease after talking to him. I can not believe what our police department is able to get away with. For less than the price of a DUI fine, Mike was my savior. Watching him in court is like watching a professor educated the court system (DA, judge,... officers, etc) on the legal rights of the public. If you are in trouble call this man immediately. Mike made time for me within hours of contacting him. He is prompt, to the point, and completely effective. He knows the law better than the DA in my case so much so that the judge fined the DA for points Mike brought to light. I can not say enough about this attorney. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Hands down the best attorney for DUI/DWI

About 2 years ago I was arrested for a DUI, while driving on a suspended license, from a prior DUI. I contacted 5 other DUI attorneys until I finally retained Michael Fremont. From my very first meeting, he was optimistic and had a plan of attack with my case. I had a prior DUI that wasn't resolved ...correctly from my first attorney, I was driving on a suspended license, and I blew a .16. He didn't seem worried at all that I had a prior dui, and my license was suspended. The fact that he was so confident, helped to ease my mind. Michael was able to find a small loophole in paperwork filed by the DA, which ended up in a scheduling conflict with the arresting officer. This ended up throwing the officer's testimony out completely due to failure to appear. The DA requested a continuance, and dragged the case on for an additional 2 years!!! The case ended up having to be restarted, as the DA was granted their continuance. So we were back at square one.... In the 2 year span that my case was being reviewed, Michael constantly updated me on progress and stayed positive. He was always available to answer any questions I had. A few weeks ago we were finally able to sit in front of the DA and the judge, and I was able to watch Michael negotiate a tremendous plea bargain. He was able to talk the DA into pleading my case down to a wet wreckless. Instead of being convicted of a 2nd dui and facing possible jail time, I am only required to do a small number of community service days and attend the alcohol classes. When I processed my paperwork at the courthouse to arrange payments for my fines, I still remember the look on the clerks face when he said to me, "You were driving with a suspended license, above the legal limit..........and you were able to plea down to a wet wreckless?? You must have a hell of an attorney!" Michael Fremont saved my life, and my career. I want to personally thank you for all of your help. I highly recommend him for any DUI/DWI case.

Look no further!!

Mr. Fremont did an exencllent job handling my case. When first meeting with Mr. Fremont to discuss the details of my case, he made me feel at ease by being up front and totally honest about what to expect. He told me his plan of action for getting me the results that I needed and followed through to ...the "T". My BAC was very high and for a while I had lost hope of getting anything other than a DUI. With persistians, knowledge, and skill Michael was able to get me unbelieveble results. Another major plus is his staff was very helpful and friendly. They stayed well connected with me and kept me in the loop. They were also very flexible when it came to finances. I definitely recommend anyone with DUI issues to hire Mr. Fremont and his excellent staff.

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.
