Michael Fradin helped me to resolve my case quickly and get me the best outcome. He made all of my options very clear and was able to help me make the best decision. He took over my case in the middle and still resolved it for me within a month. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer that will help you to get the best results. He was always responsive and very nice.

Michael Fradin provided excellent legal representation for me in my case. He let me know what to expect before during and after court dates, which made what seemed like a nightmare a more tolerable experience.

Got charged with underage DWI and driving after consuming <21 after almost crashing into the side of a house in my neighborhood. Blew a 0.12 at the scene and a 0.08 at the station. Normally, DWI cases take months to resolve, but my case came to trial unexpectedly after the 2nd court appearance. Mr. Fradin is an AMAZING attorney and will fight for you. I was found not guilty of both charges. Mr. Fradin is an extremely knowledgeable man. At our first meeting, I could immediately tell he knew what he was doing and he already had a plan as to how he would defend me without having even hired him yet. He was very straightforward with me and my parents about the circumstances of the case, and he detailed his plans out to us along the way. While being straightforward and confident in his abilities, Mr. Fradin is also extremely approachable. I was very comfortable in telling him the details of the incident and also asking him any questions I had. He is also very quick to respond to any emails, calls, etc. We were not supposed to go to trial at the 2nd court appearance; it was supposed to just get continued. However, Mr. Fradin was more than prepared. He was blindsided, frankly, and he fought for me and we won. He is intense in the courtroom and will defend you to the best of his ability. I would not recommend anyone else. HIRE HIM!!

My husband was charged with a DUI and we didn’t know where to turn for legal counsel. I’m truly thankful for Michael Fraden and his unprecedented knowledge of the law. Throughout this troubling time, he was very reassuring that we would have a positive outcome. He delivered! If you’re looking for a confident, understanding, and completely caring attorney, he is the man for the job!!

I received a ticket for passing a school bus in a school zone. I firmly believe that I did not do it. The implications of this traffic ticket would greatly change my life in a negative way. Michael Fradin understood how important it was to fight this battle. He proved my innocence with impeccable precision. Throughout the process, he maintained contact with me keeping me up to date on my case. This consisted of phone conferences during a snow storm. I highly recommend him. If you are considering contacting him, than do yourself a favor and give him a call now. You will not regret it, I promise that.

Michael Fradin is an attorney that I highly recommend. I had an accident caused by a medical condition and Fradin took me through the steps, clearly communicated what I was to obtain and provide, and took it from there, ultimately getting my case dismissed. Potentially, I could have lost license and added many points to my otherwise clean record. His professionalism, no BS, and and a good listener, all made my experience easy and not anxious. He kept me informed as I supplied more info to him and the process was easier than I had imagined. This guy is a personable, straight shooter, and if I need legal services again, he will be my first call.

I hired Michael Fradin to take my case and I arrived at that decision after only a couple minutes into the consult. He is the epitome of professionalism. He was courteous, completely answered all questions/concerns I had and handled my case expeditiously. If I ever need an attorney again, Mike would be the one I'd call. If you ever need an attorney, I would strongly suggest hiring him.

Mike handled a moving violation for me. He is a very realistic, honest person. Mike did for me what he said he would. Everything worked out great for me. When the need arises again for an attorney, I will contact Mike. Thanks

I hired Mr. Michael Fradin to defend my son in a DWI case. I can honestly say he made a frightening situation much less stressful. Mr. Fradin was kind, honest and very knowledgeable, knowing exactly what to do. He defended my son and won the case. I hope to never need an attorney again but I would return to Dummit & Fradin without pause. I am so grateful for such support.
