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.

Mark has been an absolute blessing, not just to me but my family as well. Mark, Kim and the rest of the staff remained tremendously professional, courteous, kind, understanding, and compassionate all throughout my situation. Even when I was frantic and nervous about every last detail they put up with me which I'm certain wasn't easy. I would highly recommend if you ever find yourself in a bind you couldn't possibly imagine being in, look no further. You will absolutely regret it. Go with the best the first time. You will appreciate it far beyond belief. He was able to absolve me of more than I could imagine. My family and myself will be forever grateful. My sincerest gratitude to Mark and Kim, and the entire Law Office of Mark W. Fredrick.

Mark is an excellent attorney. Without him I would have absolutely been doing significant jail time. I was facing multiple felony charges and looking at some serious time. Mark examined the evidence and I left with absolutely nothing on my record. Mark has great relationships with everybody in every single courtroom I ever entered and is very well respected and known. Every time mark walked into the court room all of my nerves were instantly relieved. His whole team is absolutely fantastic. To anyone looking for a defense attorney, I would just like to say look no further. Mark is undoubtedly the best defense attorney in Orange County. He helped my brother tremendously as well and saved my family a tremendous amount of grief. I cannot say enough how thankful I am for mark!

I had multiple charges filed against me, with the possibility of spending the rest of my life in prison. After my first meeting with Mark Fredrick, I had complete trust that he would give me the best chance of winning our case. There was a lot at stake, as I have a wife and two young children. Mark, his co-counsel Cole Williams, and his assistant Kim work so well together. They made me feel secure that I had the best defense team protecting me and my family. Their private investigator, Farzin Noohi, is one of the best in the business and was able to help my case tremendously. Mark and his team were very experienced and helped me through the entire process from our first meeting through the end of the trial. Mark is genuine and caring, and is the rare lawyer that underpromises and overdelivers. There were times that I wondered how things were going, but looking back, I realized that Mark and his team knew what they were doing. Do not let the quiet times of the process worry you. Let me assure you that they work very hard behind the scenes, even if they don't talk about how much work they are doing to prepare. The best thing I can say is that I truly felt that they defended me like I was part of their family. Their hard work and preparation resulted in no convictions. Throughout my trial, my emotions were like a roller coaster, but at the most critical times, Mark, Cole, Kim, and Farzin came through. I highly recommend Mark Fredrick and his team.

Mark is an excellent lawyer. When he represented my matter, he fought tooth and nail to win my case. My case had numerous felonies filed by the prosecutor but after fighting relentlessly during the preliminary hearing, the case became very weak. He filed a 995 motion which was very complicated and lengthy. The case was dismissed! Not only he has complete knowledge of law but he makes his presence known in the court room. My case involved assignment of many judges and every judge respected Mark and several times went along with Mark's suggestions because he seems to have built a very strong credibility and reputation in the court system. His work in the court room is beyond what you will see on TV. I did not think that in the real world, an attorney could be so articulate and a true fighter for his client. His court room skills are admirable. I realized from day one that I hired a heavy weight lawyer and he proved it every step of the way. My family is very thankful to Mark Fredrick and his assistant, Kim S.

Jesus Christ is my soul-saver but Mark Fredrick, is my Earth life-saver because he deserves such title!!!. Mark Fredrick goes BEYOND his call of duty and always works tirelessly for your best interest, to ensure you are granted the freedom or the leniency that you truly deserve. Bad things happen to good people or bad people who are now re-born into good people because they have learned their lessons and repented for their sins, and Mark will make sure that such people are granted leniency or total freedom as a second chance in life on Earth. We need more attorneys like him who does not look at people as dollar bills but as a human that deserves a second chance in life, to be with their love ones (humans and their much beloved pet children) who can't live without one another. Put your trust in him and let him do the job because you know he cares about who you are and what is important to you in your life. He puts your freedom first. I value people who just not say it in words but show it in action and Mark showed it in action. I always said to myself, he is my court hero. He is THE MAN! "Action speaks much louder than words", as is always true. " If you want to know what is in a person's heart, look at his or her action'. I can truly say he's God-sent and my earth life-saver/angel/hero. He's not just an earth-bound lawyer from a book but a magician. Why "magician"? you might wonder. Not because of some magical illusion or through medicines but because he indeed, revived many people's lives from a dark place of depression and hopelessness. He showed people that there is indeed, life, hope, and light at the end of the long, dark tunnel.. He turned from what I saw my life as in black and white color of desolation and hopelessness into a life of full colors and meaning. Mark Fredrick, not only gives his clients a true meaning of life but to all the love ones that are deeply affected by it. I can never forget Mark Fredrick for his heart of gold, for his confidence, for his positive attitude of to never- give- up, his integrity, and most of all, he saved me from what to me, was like an "impending death", not a death sentence but to me, that's how I felt. I value my freedom and Mark is the man who will most likely grant you that wish. Amen!!! May God continue to bless you forever in everything you do, Mark!!!

Mr. Fredrick thank you so much from the bottom of my heart you saved me and I'll never forget that and you showed me how much you cared about what was going on with me like you really no joke cared. Hands down Mr. Fredrick is the best lawyer I have ever had hes more then a lawyer hes family to me

My family and I are eternally grateful for successfully defending my "LIFE" Mr. Fredrick and his team never gave up on us and through many battles from the opposition we were able to win a unanimous decision of NOT GUILTY on all counts. This was the hardest battle that my family and I will ever have to experience, potentially facing mandatory life in prison if convicted. Our words will never be enough to express our gratitude for his hard work and dedication during this extremely difficult time. Thank you Mark, you will forever be our friend and defender!

I have been a client of Mr. Fredrick's for almost ten years. During that time period he represented me in three cases. All of which resulted in excellent outcomes. Moreover Mr. Fredrick showed exceptional aptitude, perseverance and integrity. Overtime I have come to highly respect Mark as a professional and a friend. Gene

Mark Fredrick lopped five years off my prison sentence. If you are looking for a real litigator, I strongly recommend him. I hired Mark after five long years of fruitless appellate proceedings with other attorney's. Changing attorney's was not easy, but I knew Mark was the right guy because he spent two hours on the initial consultation listening to what I had to say. He insisted on thoroughly researching my case and my issues before accepting any money from my family. Once Mark decided to take my case, it was a mere matter of ten months before I was being resentenced to a drastically shorter term. If your life is on the line like mine was, hire Mark Fredrick.

Absolutely I would recommend this attorney any and every time. When you're going in and meeting with attorneys you don't know what to expect, unless you know an attorney. We did not know Mr. Frederick before this. He is who he says he is. Mark Frederick can back up every word he puts out into the atmosphere. He doesn't make broken promises. He tells you your options and what can happen. Then worst part is when you have to face the judge. But when Mark speaks on your behalf in court, your suddenly safe and relieved that you have this amazing attorney who is fighting for you in the midst of all that was wrong. I can see my brother. My brother can go to dinner with his children, he can breathe free air all day long. We can laugh together. I'm so grateful to him and his fearless stand in representing my brother. I'm so grateful.
