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!

Put yourself at ease!!

Getting a DUI is very stressful worring about fines, suspension of license, and jail time. Well I was facing my 3rd DUI, blowing a .11, driving on a suspended license. I lived out of town, and my case was in San Diego. I had a failure to appear in court, with a warrant for my arrest. I was worried si...ck about losing my job and my freedom. I hired Mr. Fremont, and he very swiftly got to work. The next morning my warrant was cleared. Mr. Fremont and his staff are very professional, responsive and has answered questions, and provided me with any information that needed. After examining my case, and prepared to go to trial, Mr. Fremont was able to work out a deal that I was very pleased with that included no additional DUI charges going on my record, and losing no points on my drivers license. Mr Fremont worked with me with his fees, and I feel that the price was very reasonable. I strongly recommend that if you're in a bind and don't know what to, call Michael Fremont.

The Premiere DUI Specialist

If you are looking to fight your DUI in San Diego. Michael Fremont should be at the top of the list. I got my 1st and only DUI 5 months ago and drive for a living. I initially hired another specialist (arguable the #1 DUI Specialist in San Diego) but, realized quickly that my case was turned over t...o another associate that was not very responsive or cared about my case - i had even paid for trial even though this rarely happens. I switched to Fremont after one 10 min call after he had reviewed the police report. I have seen how thorough he has been during a pretrial motion and he is a legend (heard other attorneys talking about him at court). He even teaches other attorneys how to handle dui cases. He is battling for me at the DMV and has been relentless in getting a long list of evidence to fight my case in court. While the circumstances of my case were not that encouraging , he has already found some real issues and is fighting hard for me. He is old school in that he handles everything personally. He and his staff are very professional, responsive and has answered questions. Read the reviews and then look at his site. I will provide an update on my case when it is done (good or not so good) but, at least I know that Fremont is my best shot at finding a positive resolution and I should have hired him from the get go.

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.
