About Michael J.
Michael J. Fremont has practiced law in California since the mid-1980s. He earned his Juris Doctor from Western State University College of Law in 1985, then moved into courtroom work that has stretched across several decades. His career reflects steady practice rather than flash; he has remained anchored in local courts and routine casework throughout his time as an attorney.
After completing law school, Fremont entered private practice and by 1989 was serving as the lead lawyer at the Law Offices of Michael Fremont. That role has defined the bulk of his professional life. For many years he has overseen case intake, courtroom strategy and client consultations. The chronology of his work shows an attorney who established his own practice early and carried that responsibility forward rather than joining a large firm hierarchy.
Over the years Fremont developed particular expertise in matters that arise from impaired driving charges. He holds a DUI SPECIALIST certification from the California DUI Lawyers Association. He was listed as a specialist member of that association from 1992 through 2016. Those affiliations indicate sustained involvement in the community of lawyers who handle driving-under-the-influence cases, including the training and standards that group promotes.
Fremont’s practice has remained based in California courts. He maintains an office in San Diego where he meets clients and handles local litigation. The Law Offices of Michael Fremont continues to serve as the vehicle for his casework; he is identified as the lead lawyer there. His public records show steady practice rather than broad public roles such as elected bar leadership or academic appointments.
Clients and colleagues describe a lawyer who brings long experience to recurring criminal and DUI matters. He directs his energy toward the legal work at hand and the practical choices that flow from each case. In day-to-day practice that means advising clients facing misdemeanor and felony DUI charges, managing pretrial motions, and representing people in plea negotiations and trials. He practices criminal defense and DUI defense in California from his San Diego office.
