I am here a free man today thanks to Mark Fredrick for all the hard work and dedication he put into my case. He never gave up on me even though it was a difficult case and took him almost 2 years to get the best possible outcome for me. So my story began when I was pulled over in Newport Beach in October of 2022. After I was arrested and released, I was charged with a 2nd DUI violation after a 9 year gap from my 1st DUI conviction in 2013. I blew a BAC of .20 on my 2nd DUI arrest. I also had my Glock 26 with a 33 round magazine inside my car which I was also charged with having a loaded gun inside my car and a high capacity magazine. I had put myself in a really bad situation and I thought that I would be facing many years in prison due to all those factors. I fell into depression and was extremely scared about my situation. So I Googled for criminal defense lawyers in the OC. I met a few criminal defense lawyers but I wasn't really convinced by them. Then I found Mr. Fredrick and read all his reviews and wanted to meet him in person. When I met him at his office and we started talking about my case, I instantly felt a sense of calmness and safety. He gave me a game plan on what he would be able to do and told me that he couldn't make any promises. But after we finished our meeting, I felt it in me that this would be the man to help me out. So a week later, I hired him as my lawyer. Through out the entire course of my case, he kept me updated. I didn't have to go to all of my court dates because he would go for me. And on the dates that I did have to show up for court; it was extremely nerve racking everytime I stepped into the court room and faced the judge. But everytime Mr. Fredrick would stand next to me and he would speak to the judge; my nerves would calm down and I felt that I had the best lawyer by my side. Each court date would be extended so Mr. Fredrick would be able to keep on working on my case for the best possible outcome. Fast forward to August 2024, on my final 2 court dates, the court system still wanted to give me a mandatory 60 days in jail. That did scared me a lot because I would have to leave my job and my family. But Mr. Fredrick still fought for me and he was able to get me a plea deal if I agreed to plead "guilty" to the DUI charges, which was getting a 5 year informal DUI probation, attend an 18 month DUI classes, and complete a 6 month alcohol treatment program and attend a MADD program class and install an IID in my car for 1 year. My gun charges were dismissed. I took the plea deal because it was way better than doing 60 days in jail. I also didn't get house arrest. There is a 6 month jail sentence stay on my court order probation but as long as I do all my court order objectives that I need to complete by the certain due dates and not violate my 5 year DUI probation; then I would stay out of jail. And here I am today writing this review. I wanted to share my story. I am extremely grateful and happy that I had the best lawyer working on my case and standing by my side in the court room. I also want to thank his Secretary Kim for also keeping me updated on my case and setting up my meetings with Mr. Fredrick. I highly recommend this law office. They really care about you and will fight for the best possible outcome for you and not just take your money and leave you in the dark. I can finally feel inner peace and sleep better at night because of them. Thank you so much again.

Mark went above and beyond for me and got 2 felonies completely dismissed. He even was able to a get a red light traffic citation dismissed too and I didn't even hire him for that. He was very professional and really makes a presence with himself in the courtroom. I was impressed by how confidently and comfortably he composes himself. I am extremely grateful for all of his hard work and Kim, his secretary was excellent as well and super easy to communicate with.

John Bishop is a superb lawyer. His sharp intellect and ease in handling complex legal matters sets him apart. He upholds the highest standards of integrity in his legal practice, which is critical for his clients who have come to him with their licensure and career potentially on the line. His unwavering professionalism inspires confidence and highlights the genuine concern he has the well-being of his clients. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend John and his firm. Top notch!

As a criminal defense attorney, many of my clients find their professional licenses at stake when they are arrested and/or charged with a crime. Lindsay Johnson with Ray & Bishop is my go to referral for all my licensing defense issues, especially those that involve medical or nursing licenses. Lindsay is a smart, well-respected, tough attorney that achieves fantastic results for her clients, and I have the upmost confidence that all my clients are in fantastic hands with her.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with John and his firm in the past. My experience was exceptional. The team displayed extensive knowledge, provided clear guidance throughout the process, and demonstrated a strong commitment to resolving my licensing issues. Their professionalism and attention to detail were commendable, making the entire experience smooth and efficient. I highly recommend their services for anyone navigating complex licensing matters.

I've referred several clients to John and his firm and have had excellent results each time. They are knowledgeable and thoughtful attorneys. I don't refer to any one else for licensing issues.

If you're looking for a fancy lawyer to do a bunch of stuff you see on TV, this ain't it. If you're looking for the legal version of an unhoused man using a paperclip to get you bootlegged free parking in an otherwise snazzy area, then you've come to the right place. Bishop saves lives and careers.

John is an outstanding attorney and I referred many clients to him over the years. He responds promptly and does amazing work.

I've known John Bishop for many years. He is top notch in his field. John is the only person I consider sending clients with licensing issues to, as he will always be honest and straight forward about how he can help. Highly recommend John and the team at Ray & Bishop!

Lots of great things to say about Mr. Bishop and his team. I found Mr. Bishop to be professional, responsive, and helpful! Oddly enough, that’s hard to find with attorneys. I highly recommend this firm!

If you’re looking for some the best attorneys in the business, look no further than Ray & Bishop. They are an outstanding law firm in every sense of the word. I have reached out to them a few times now with legal questions and concerns and I’ve found them to be extremely knowledgeable, patient and helpful. They were so great, I have sent a number of other people I know their way, and everyone has had great things to say about them as well. It is awesome to find attorneys like them that are so skilled and knowledgeable but to also have an attorney be so helpful and responsive is something too rare not to take advantage of. If you need legal help, these are the guys you call.
