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.

DUI Case Dismissed

I would recommend Michael Fremont to anyone with a compelling defense in a DUI DWI case. I contacted many lawyers prior to hiring Mr. Fremont, and was unsure how much to spend and who to go with. He is an expert and provided confidence that my case was winnable, and did exactly that. Case dismisse...d. After dealing with him I was confident i hired the right guy for the job.

Behind the times, unprepared

I regret that I hired Mr. Fremont for my DUI case. I discovered that he is NOT internet competent, not skilled with computer/phone technology, and he has an unskilled staff. Mr. Fremont cannot even spell or edit his legal papers, so they were full of errors that I had to correct. He just didn'...t have his act together, rushing in at the last minute and still shuffling papers. I ended up doing most of the case preparation. Do not hire Mr. Fremont unless you are prepared to spend your money on a winnable case and then LOSE.

As can be seen by reading the other reviews this former client is in the small minority of cases that I have handled. Sometimes the case does not come out the way that the client wishes or hopes. Some cases are more difficult than others and some clients have unrealistic expectations and get mad at the end of the case.

San Diego's Premier DUI Attorney - No Need to Look Any Further

I have worked with Michael on two separate DUI cases since 2001. Mr. Fremont was highly professional through the point of retainer through the case disposition. My last DUI was June 2011 wherein Mr. Fremont managed to obtain a full dismissal on a .19 BAC with a suspended license. In addition, Mr. Fre...mont also managed to have the DMV case dismissed as well. Mr. Fremont's fees are reasonable and bordering on cheap based on the services he provides to his clientele. I highly recommend Michael Fremont for your DUI criminal case.

Bad Results

I hired Mr. Fremont to defend me against an alleged .10 BAC DUI charge. Although to this day I still profess my innocence, I told Mr. Fremont early and often that I would accept a plea deal to get this behind me and move forward and not jeapordize my career of 15 years any further. Mr. Fremont neve...r attempted to negotiate a plea deal, and instead insisted that a jury trial was the best course of action. During that trial, Mr. Fremont made some questionable judgment decisions; one of which was not to use my written medical report which documents my hiatal hernia, since I was led to believe that we were building our case around my acid reflux (GERD) as the reason for my elevated BAC, which is in fact true. The Jury never learned anything about me, never had any idea that I had a medical condition that elevates breathalyzer results as published by the American Medical Association. The Jury found me guilty on both counts (a) and (b), and the Judge showed zero leniencies at sentencing, during which Fremont hardly put up a fight for me. I've never been arrested prior to this, never been in trouble with the law, never even stepped foot in a court room in my entire life; and haven't had so much as a parking ticket in the last 10 years. I would not recommend Fremont’s services.
