My family hired Susan after I was involved in a domestic violence altercation with my boyfriend that led to my arrest; the charge was Domestic Assault on a Family Member- a charge that Fairfax County takes VERY seriously. I had never been in trouble of this magnitude before and had only ever dealt with court proceedings a few times prior (small tickets and such), so Susan Fremit is the first and only lawyer I've ever had. That being said, after the experience I had with her working my case, I can tell you that she's now the only lawyer I'd ever want to defend me.
Upon first meeting her, Susan was the epitome of professional. She was sympathetic, friendly, earnest, respectful, and ready to get down to business. Her personality and attitude helped me relax and made me confident that I was in good hands.
Communication leading up to my court date was very frequent and Susan was always available via email and phone.
On the day of my hearing, throughout of the morning while we waited to be called, Susan calmly walked me through all the possible scenarios that could unfold. She told me, however, that the prosecutor seemed set on charging me with Domestic Assault on a Family Member which would be on my record forever, would lead to me being enrolled in the First Offenders Program and could include minor jail time.
After speaking adamantly with the prosecutor and arresting officer several times during the hours of waiting, Susan unbelievably convinced the prosecutor to settle
on a plea bargain that hailed heavily in my favor: instead of aforementioned charges and punishments, I was charged only with trespassing and had to attend an 18-week ADAPT Program (once a week) while meeting monthly with PO for the duration of the class and keeping good behavior for a year.
This was a truly AMAZING outcome, especially in our county. Susan achieved the unachievable and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Throughout the entire process she went above and beyond to provide me with the best defense I could have asked for and I couldn't be more thankful.

In my opinion, Susan Fremit is the attorney to consult when you have a problem. She goes beyond the extra mile to make sure she understands your case, has a thorough understanding of the court system and the laws, and is tough when need be and compassionate and understanding of your situation. She is top notch. Works hard for you, explains things, is ethical and smart as a whip. She spent time with me so that I would understand what to expect, prepared me for a court case so that I would not be scared or confused. She dug deeply into the facts and found the truth in the case. After two earlier very disappointing experiences with attorneys, I found Susan to be top notch.. Honest, kept me informed about the process and my options. She worked hard to get me justice. I am very grateful for her and would highly recommend her.

I retained Susan Fremit as my attorney in conjunction with a most serious motor vehicle violation: reckless driving.
As a person who understands that driver's have specific responsibilities, and one who always has driven carefully, I strongly believed that the reckless driving charge was not warranted; was issued capriciously.
I will say without any reservation that Ms. Fremit is a most capable and most knowledgeable attorney; one skilled in all aspects of the laws that pertain to motor vehicle operations, drivers and court proceedings.
In addition, I found Ms. Fremit to be both highly professional and a person with who I felt genuinely sought to help me; spent a great deal of time explaining her strategy on my behalf and, very importantly, listened to what I had to say.
I felt that Ms. Fremit very ably represented me in court and presented me with a tentative agreement before signing off on it.
Ms. Fremit devoted significant time to discussing my options. I concurred that the agreement she reached with the attorney representing Arlington Country was a fair and equitable one that recognized I had not engaged in reckless driving.
I very highly recommend Susan Fremit to any person who has a need for representation with respect to a motor vehicle violation summons in the jurisdictions where she practices law.

Susan Fremit is by far the most competent, confident, knowledgable attorney in the area. She has represented me on more than a few occasions, and not one time, did I not walk away completely in awe of her ability to not back down and fight for what is my life! I know for a fact that had I not had Susan represent me, I wouldn't be sitting where I am typing this on my iPhone, I would be sitting in a very unpleasant place, amongst others who only wished they had hired her to represent them. I can not express how wonderful she was, not only in the courtroom, but she was very helpful and comforting while I was at my grandfathers hospital bedside right before he passed. I feel as though she literally saved my life, more than a few times. Thank you Susan, especially for your patience with me.

While VA is not the state you want to make an alleged "no right" turn - Susan Fremit made the court process seamless and efficient - there was no second guessing.
Susan knows the process, the players, and the system - like the back of her hand - and more importantly - she made a challenging and frustrating moment - effortless and trouble-free.
I recommend Susan Frances Fremit hands down !!
