Beware of incompetence

Seriously, he did nothing to help my case, he's horrible to deal with, he's unorganized/unprofessional, he never made me feel like he had my back (he even argued with me at times!). It took him 2 years! (2 years and lots of money!) for him to get my charge to a wet reckless (which is easy to do, esp...ecially when you blow a 0.086 BAC). His assistants hate him for good reason and so do I. Don't put your future in his incompetent hands.

This case was closed in last July of 2014. I WON THE MOTION TO SUPPRESS EVIDENCE AND THE CASE WAS GOING TO BE DISMISSED. THE CITY ATTORNEY APPEALED THE LOSS. When a case is appealed the appeal process takes over a year. The appellate department reversed the trial court's decisions. The client choose not to go to trial and accept a wet plea. I recommended trial. I have two assistants and I seriously doubt they hate me.

Got me what I want

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!

Highly Recommend

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.

FREMONT SAVED MY BUTT

I had a very complicated DUI case and the DA and Judge were on a mission to convict me. Another lawyer tried to argue my case at first, but in the end, it was Michael Fremont who made the winning argument that led to my complete exoneration. Fremont is a brilliant researcher, a tremendous orator, a...nd his knowledge of both law and human nature is unsurpassed. You can probably pay more money to a bigger SD law firm and get a less qualified junior associate, but why would you ever think of going to anyone else while Mr. Fremont is available. If you need a great lawyer, you must hire Michael Fremont. If you don't, and you end up convicted, you will have nobody to blame but yourself. I know that if I ever need a lawyer again, I'm calling Mr. Fremont, and if anyone near or dear to me needs a lawyer, I'm sending the, to him, and nobody else.

Inept And Far Behind The Times

Mr. Fremont represented me in a felony DUI case and I was terribly;y unhappy with his performance. He was never ready at any of my court hearings and his arrogance seemed to get in the way of any chance I had of having favorable outcome. I definitely would not use Mr. Fremont s services again nor wou...ld I recommend him.
