The following testimonials are from satisfied clients that have hired or consulted with DUI Defense Attorney, Michael J. Fremont.
I received a DUI in 2004 and hired Attorney Michael J. Fremont to represent me. During my case I decided to move back to Minnesota from Southern California and was required to take DUI classes. I completed my classes immediately when I returned to Minnesota. The school that I took the classes at was supposed to send my completion letter to the Vista Court, which they never did. I was under the impression that all of this was behind me. In 2010 I went to renew my drivers license and there was a hold on it from the state of California. When I got a hold of the DMV in Northern California they told me that I never completed my classes and my license was suspended and there was a warrant for my arrest. After trying to call the court for a week and not getting anywhere I decided to give my "former" Attorney a call. I told Mike the situation, and he told me to send him the paperwork that showed I completed my course in 2005. I faxed over the paperwork and with in days he had taken it to the court and solved my issues! I am utterly amazed! Six years has passed since he originally represented me and he didn't even hesitate to help me. No additional charge - just willing to do the right thing. I would recommend Mike to anyone! We all make bad decisions in our lives; it's a matter of learning from them and surrounding yourself with individuals that truly care. And Mike is one of those people! He is the best defense lawyer one could have!

tests and blowing the Breathalyzer, the officer concluded I was DUI. I was arrested and sent to San Diego Central jail. Weeks later, I went to court for arraignment. I knew I could NOT just plead guilty and ruin my career. I decided to talk with the public defender. The public defenders office took my case. BAD DECISION! The next court date, my Public Defender kept insisting to me to take "the slightly lesser charge" which was still a DUI. She pretty much told me "it is what it is... you got a DUI and there is really NO defense for your case. I felt ruined. I knew that with this public defender, I was heading for a sure conviction. I was so upset, but felt like something had to be done. That night, I did some research and came across San Diego DUI Attorney Michael's Fremont's website. After looking at his attorney profile, which you can see for yourself, I knew he was the best DUI lawyer in San Diego and knew he would be the best representation for my case. Mr. Fremont showed up with me in court to take over my case. I knew I had made a good choice when several other presumed DUI Lawyers in the courthouse approached him and knew him well. That day, Mr. Fremont requested a time extension for him to carefully review my case and also set a trial date. A few weeks later, Mr. Fremont called me and told me about some discrepancies found in my case. This was good news! Regarding the next court date, during a Motion to Suppress Evidence hearing, DUI Attorney Mr. Fremont unleashed his knowledge, aggressiveness, and professionalism. And truly exemplified he is the best Defense Lawyer in Sand Diego. In front of two officers and the Prosecutor, the Judge granted us the Motion. As a result, the evidence against me was thrown out of court. I can still remember the angry prosecutor's face as he realized his case against me "went down the drain". Next week, Mr. Fremont calls me with great news. No need to go to trial. CASE DISMISSED.

One year ago I was arrested for a first time DUI. I was referred to some Big Shot DUI Lawyer. My case went on for almost a year with absolutely no results or reductions. I was at my wits end when I was suggested to call Michael J. Fremont. Having already spent thousands, I still called. San Diego DUI Lawyer Michael Fremont gave me an overview of what he thought he could do. After a single 20-minute call with Mike, I already felt better. He kept me in contact the entire time; it felt like he was family the way he fought for me. Needless to say that Mike took care of my case in record time only a month and a half and my case took a different look. The District Attorneys and Judges were seeing my side of the story and not just another piece of paper in front of them. I received a call from Mike a week later telling me that we got what we wanted - something that my previous Attorney who was supposed to be the best defense lawyer in San Diego could not. Mike saved my career and secured my future in the armed services. If I ever have a friend or family member who is in need of top-notch experience and unrelenting devotion to his clients I will always recommend Mike Fremont. Mike, thanks for being there when the going was rough and sticking it out.

Michael Fremont is the most "able", "aggressive" and "knowledgeable" attorney I have ever known or worked with. When I was arrested for a DUI in August of 2009 my life was turned upside down. I was humiliated and confused, feeling as if I'd entered a world ,about which, I knew nothing.
I retained another attorney to deal with the immediate legal and DMV problems hoping he would care enough to fight for my interests. I chose wrong and it became a communications nightmare. It felt as if my attorney was my enemy. What was really happening was I'd selected an attorney who marketed himself well but hadn't the knowledge, desire and ability to defend me.

I retained another Attorney to deal with the immediate legal and DMV problems hoping he would care enough to fight for my interests. I chose wrong and it became a communications nightmare. It felt as if my Attorney was my enemy. What was really happening was I'd selected an Attorney, who marketed himself well, but hadn't the knowledge, desire and ability to defend me. Then I began to do my homework, looking for the best Defense Lawyer/Attorney in San Diego with the best record for tenaciousness and ability. I came across Michael J. Fremont and elected him to clean up the previous attorney's mess and prepare to take my case to court.
Michael didn't just put me on his schedule to deal with later - he welcomed my review of the entire situation and took action immediately filing every motion appropriate to my case. When one of his motions, which was important to my case, was turned down he re-filed insisting there were problems with the integrity of the Officer who arrested me, and the lab that had tested my blood samples. His persistence won the day and, voila, he uncovered major inconsistencies, which not only helped my case, but potentially the cases of others.
When faced with the reality of inconsistent lab testing, a doubt that my blood level was at or above the legal limit while I was driving and the very questionable reputation of the arresting officer the DA was embarrassed and the judge was "not pleased!" Michael quickly arranged a change from DUI to "Dry Reckless." Michael called me immediately following the hearing and simply, but cheerfully, said the words "Dry Reckless." He was so excited to have saved me from my on-going nightmare and I was just so relieved it felt as if a 500 lb. burden had been lifted off of my shoulders. That is why it is extremely important to select a DUI Defense Attorney of Michael's caliber that has the ability to sort through the mess and find (or force out) the truth. I am not only recommending (In my opinion) the best San Diego DUI Lawyer Michael Fremont to everyone who will listen, but I'm also telling the amazing story of truth winning over a lie (Or disinformation), because this man gave a damn about me. Mike is the best San Diego Defense Lawyer, period.

I had a situation that others Attorneys told me was helpless; I had a high blood alcohol level and no defense. I was looking at a 9-month first conviction program and 15 days of custody along with a $2,000.00 fine. San Diego DUI Defense Attorney Mr. Fremont was able to maneuver the case to where the Prosecutor was forced to give me a better deal. I received a smaller $1,800.00 fine, and 3 days of public work service with the standard 3-month alcohol program. San Diego DUI Defense Attorney Michael Fremont saved me a lot of extra grief!

San Diego DUI Defense Attorney Michael Fremont successfully pled my case (First time DUI) down to a wet/reckless with a BAC of .19, saved my driver's license and kept me from serious trouble with the Navy. Mr. Fremont talked me through the entire DUI process and handled all my court proceedings - I only appeared in court twice. He was very knowledgeable about military proceedings concerning DUI's and understood the gravity of the offense on my career. He used his considerable contacts in the City Attorney's office to get a continuance and eventually found a city Prosecutor who was willing to plead down a high BAC case to a wet/reckless. I highly recommend him to anyone who is faced with this offense, especially someone in the armed services or from out-of-state who doesn't know California laws. Thank you again Mr. Fremont!
W.A.I have been in trial with Mr. Fremont when we had co-defendants as well as listening to him negotiate and litigate cases in court. He is a caring, intelligent DUI Defense Attorney who has represented my son on a traffic case. He is the only DUI Defense Attorney in my twenty years of practicing criminal law that I would feel sure he would do the right thing for a client as he had done for my son.

I can't say enough about DUI Lawyer Michael Jon Fremont. He's professional, sharp, brilliant and dedicated. He represented me for a DUI I received in 2008, and I am VERY MUCH grateful for his services and the out come of my case. He literally saved me thousands of dollars and my F commercial class A license. I was completely acquitted on charges for my first DUI. I would not have trusted anyone else to represent me. Mr Fremont is a highly experienced DUI Lawyer and best person I could have ever imagined to have on my side when the power of the state is being brought to bear and the odds seems stacked against you. He was worth every penny because you can't put a price on your freedom. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a DUI Lawyer!

Getting a DUI is not a good thing, its embarrassing and trying. DUI Defense Attorney Michael Fremont made going through the legal process and all the other things associated with this type of infraction a lot easier. He provided all the resources to enable me to get on with my job. When my case comes up for trail, I know that Michael has my best interest and right mind to give me the best representation that he is capable.

When I was in a bind (1st and only time), my family member who is also a peace officer recommended Defense Lawyer Michael J. Fremont. Mr. Fremont knows his stuff and is very confident and made the whole process as painless as possible. I walked out of the courtroom without a DUI, no classes to attend, and only a minimal fine!

I had a serious situation with my son that could have potentially affected his future. Because of Mr. Fremont's reputation, experience, and knowledge with this specific drug charge not only was my son able to avoid incarceration, he was given a second chance to prove himself, to make a difference and I have DUI Lawyer Mr. Fremont to thank for that. He believed enough in my son. He knew what to do, pointed us in the right direction, advised us and gave us the best information for the RESOURCES we needed to get the help we needed. I would recommend his services to anyone needing a good defense lawyer in Southern California.

Michael was a great Attorney that really helped me through this conflict. I really thought I was going to lose my license and that is what people had told me too. Overall, Mike was a great guy that took me through this DUI with a good price. I was nervous at first but then I found Mike and he solved my solution fast and knew right to do when I told him about my incident. I'm happy about the result of my incident and about how Mike treated me throughout the DUI.

I rarely write reviews or recommend services to others, but I have to admit Michael Fremont is in my opinion the best DUI Attorney in San Diego. Michael Fremont took on my case over a year ago and has skillfully defended my DUI charge by applying his 20+ years of experience. Everything that Michael said came true and as he clearly knows the DUI/DWI laws inside and out.

Mr. Fremont turned a potentially disastrous felony DUI charge into a manageable misdemeanor case. Faced with two out of state prior DUI's, I was on the brink of becoming a felon, losing my business, and having to lay off ten employees. Mr. Fremont diligently challenged the district attorney's office and successfully tore through the red tape, eventually getting the charge reduced to a misdemeanor and reducing the potential sentence from a minimum 180 days in jail to a maximum possibility of 2 weekends in jail. He also successfully proved that the arresting officer wasn't diligent in advising me of all of my rights and all possible outcomes of a refusal. Finally, Mr. Fremont was successful in getting a charge of driving with a suspended license dropped also. I certainly hope that I don't find myself in the same position again, but I keep Mr. Fremont's number on direct dial, just in case. I highly recommend Mr. Fremont to anyone in a similar position in Southern California.
