My case was unique, and difficult. It was from 36 years ago, when I was 22 years of age. I had just moved to Cleveland, Ohio and I unfortunately found myself in the wrong place, at the wrong time. I had never been in trouble before (nor since.) Countless mistakes were made, that led to my conviction on very serious charges . … I served my time, and was released. Fast-forward 36 years. May of 2014, I was driving down the street, in Florida, which is where I now live, only to be pulled over and arrested for an old outstanding fugitive warrant related to the case. Sad to say, the warrant was valid. As a fugitive, I was given no bond. I was stuck in jail, until this all could be figured out. One of my best friends began searching for an attorney for me. She found Attorney Ronald Frey, on avvo.com . His reviews we’re very good. His character qualities, persistence towards a satisfactory end, diplomacy during the process, and trustworthiness sounded like the qualities we we’re looking for in an attorney . After speaking with him, she decided he would be the right attorney for my case. I could not agree more! From the very beginning, attorney Frey was available, investigative, determined, and level-headed. He immediately flew down to Florida to see me, so we could talk in complete confidentiality. He was very up front with me. Because my case was so old, most documents were missing, and the judge who originally presided over my case, was deceased ie: we had a fight on our hands. The result could not be guaranteed, but he promised he would fight with all that he had for me. It was a very scary time. Ultimately, I was extradited back to Cleveland. The case had been closed many years ago, so I had no judge assigned to me, and no avenue into the courts. They just wanted to send me straight to prison. Immediately, attorney Frey began filing motions in the court… Motion for sentence reevaluation, motion to keep me in the county jail until this was straightened out. He said, even if they were denied, I would be assigned a judge. They weren’t denied, and over the course of the next 3 months, attorney Frey worked diligently to create a defense for me. He spent many hours speaking with the judges bailiff, the judge, meeting with the prosecutors, and just sitting outside the judges courtroom, waiting to see if our case would be called that day. One by one, the prosecutors , all the way up to the chief prosecutor, came to see and understand that mistakes were made in my case. They arrived at this understanding due to attorney Frey’s intelligent negotiations. When we finally had our day in court, the judge actually stopped transcription, to say off the record to me,” Do you understand what a great attorney you have? He fought hard for you today in my court… And rightfully so, I believe.” Attorney Frey was actually successful in having my prior conviction from 36 years ago thrown out, and he negotiated a plea agreement for me that was favorable beyond my imagination. I was released that day. Today, I am back home in Florida, resuming my life, truly free. Over the years, I had had many attorneys look into my case. None of them came close to exibiting [sic] the integrity I experienced with attorney Frey. I highly recommend him. I am so glad I had him in my corner, working for me. He truly is a rising star, “And rightfully so, I believe.”
