Reviews for Susan
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Susan is the most thorough, meticulously organized and down to Earth attorneys I have ever met. She came in with facts that I had not even thought to bring in my case. You can't believe how easy the whole thing became when she took over. And, don't get in her way. She will explain everything to you and even hold your hand, if you need it, but let her do her job. She is the best!
Mrs Fremit is knowledgeable, detail oriented, and accomplished all tasks a week prior to filing dates. She explained the legal particulars of my case to me clearly. We then set out a strategy based on the facts and my goals for the conclusion of the case. Following this strategy I was able to get the desired outcome. I hope to not need her services in the future but she would be my first call if the need arises. Thank you Mrs Fremit.
Due to a conflict of interest I could not be represented by a public defender. I was assigned Susan Fremit by the court, I did not retain her myself. She worked for little to no money(knowing what the courts pay). I was incarcerated until I made it through sentencing. While I was still incarcerated, Susan was willing to correspond to my girlfriend to update her and came to see me multiple times to get information for my case. She also came once to see me specifically to tell me about my family member's wellbeing and what might happen to them during the court process(which was not her job) Along with due process which was 5 separate court dates to be sentenced; there were two extra court dates regarding my release from probation. She arranged a more than favorable sentence for my crime with the prosecutor. Because of Susan I literally have a 2nd chance at a life without a felony conviction. In summary, Susan went above and beyond even though I didn't retain her personally.
We interviewed 5 attorneys, searching for one that felt 'right'. Susan Fremit understood our issues - she was available to discuss everything - and provided ideas to help us. For others looking, our daughter was ticketed for passing a school bus - which is a misdemeanor in the State of Virginia. Susan Fremit discussed things with me - and then with my daughter, to make sure we both felt comfortable with how she could help. My daughter did not see the flashing lights of the bus on the opposite side of the road and while another attorney suggested she plead to a lesser charge, Susan Fremit was willing to listen to her side of the story. I was in a panic but she calmed my nerves. Susan Fremit was not the cheapest - but we felt comfortable knowing she was the best. My daughter had been so afraid that she had stopped driving. On the day of the trial, Susan Fremit talked with the officer and the decision was made to dismiss the charge. It ended in the best possible outcome. YAY!!
simply a life saver. there was possible jail time with my offense not only she made sure i didn't go to jail she also got both cases dismissed. great lawyer shes not stringing you along for your money she actually works with you to get you to a good place. if you are a foreigner and need a lawyer she is the one
Mrs. Fremit was very professional and dissuaded all my concerns regarding a reckless driving charge and a speeding charge. She knows the officers and the prosecutors and knows what strategies will work.
Susan's experience and knowledge of her field was immediately evident when working with her, but she also made sure to take the time to explain in non-legal jargon the case, what I should expect, and her recommendations. The outcome was better than I expected, and I believe Susan's skill and relationships are the reason for it.
Susan was wonderful. From our initial consultation, I felt as if I could trust her to look out for my best interest. She was competent and knowledgable of the Fairfax county system and actors. In the end I was quite pleased with the outcome of my case, and while I do not wish to have to face the Fairfax County court system again, I would want Susan on my side.
Ms.Fremit provided excellent service. She is very personable. My case was very serious and could have threatened the 25 years tenure I have in my job. She is very thorough, expects a lot and gives twice as much in return! You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend her, she will not let you down.
Ms. Fremit architected a comprehensive plan to build the best case in our defense. On the day of court, she secured the best possible legal outcome. Her skills, knowledge and relationships were indispensable.
