I’m posting a Unilocal for a phenominal defense attorney named Fred Thiagarajah. If you or a family member needs an extremely detailed smart defense attorney look no further. We have used Fred over the past few years. His attention to detail and dedication to all of his clients and family is beyond five stars. He is very well respected in the judicial system which is always favorable when you need to move forward with a strong defense. Thank You Fred.

I retained Fred Thiagarajah (Feb 2015) after receiving notice of a bench warrant out for my arrest for failure to complete my dui program within the time allotted. I reached out to several law offices requesting free consultations, and was most impressed by the law offices of Fred Thiagarajah. The level of professionalism exercised by his staff was outstanding, and I knew that I was making the right choice. Fred instantly put my mind at ease. He patiently answered all of my questions and concerns and assured me that i would be more than happy with the outcome. He got the bench warrant dropped, immediate reinstatement into the program with NO PENALTIES, over $ 1500 in fines dropped, and an extension to complete the program if need be. Fred’s a total rockstar and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!!!

I thought all Fred’s reviews couldn’t be wrong so I engaged him over the phone. Everything went as he said it would and the matter was dismissed.

Fred is absolutely the best, I’ve referred a couple of friends to him since he handled my case. I, not unlike many people that go to him, was in big trouble. I was referred to him by an attorney friend of the family and I honestly think going to him was the best thing I could have done after my arrest. Considering my circumstances and the charges I was facing, Fred Thiagarajah went above and beyond to the point of getting the DA to not file any charges at all. I don’t want to get into too much detail about my case here, but it was pretty bad, I was scared and didn’t know what to expect. I visited with him once and he explained everything to me and possible outcomes and was totally cool and calm about it and put my worries at ease. It’s taken me awhile to write my review, my case was closed in the fall, but not writing about my experience with him and his office was never out of the question. His staff was just as nice and helpful as he was. I am eternally grateful.

Fred is hands-​down the best defense lawyer in Orange County and the greater Los Angeles Area!
I recently found myself in a situation where I could have been charged criminally for an alleged traffic violation. I called Fred after reading his reviews on Unilocal.I was scared, but not for long! Fred was helpful, kind, and had an immediate strategy to handle the situation! He was able to have all charges dropped without having to go to court! The man saved my life. He has a wonderful, supportive staff. His pricing is affordable and a bargain for the excellent, proactive defense you will be receiving! Basically, Fred is awesome!

I am a lawyer and based on recommendations of other lawyers in the community, I was told that Fred is top notch at what he does. I communicated with him and felt that he knew what he was doing (you may or may not be surprised, but a LOT of lawyers don’t know that they’re doing). In turn, I referred one of my clients to Fred. I worked closely with him through the process and Fred exceeded my expectations. He managed the case in a manner such that no charges were even filed against my client. He seemed to know what was going to happen before it happened. That is the true mark of an excellent lawyer!

My friend referred me to Fred and he totally rocks. I had a misdemeanor traffic violation that another firm quoted me at $ 4000+ with an uncertain outcome, but Fred, with his deep network of connections was able to get the case fully dismissed for a fraction of the cost with only one official court appearance on my behalf! If you need a lawyer that will take care of you, don’t hesitate to call the best lawyer in the OC/​LA area!

Law office Fred Thiagarajah is an excellent Law Firm, the staffs are very friendly, helpful and reliable. I, myself felt very confident and free minded when Fred was handling my criminal case. His assistants always kept me updated with my case, and when I had questions about it, she was always ready for the answers. Now my case is closed and my record is clean. Thanks to Fred and his assistants. I definitely recommend whoever I know that need help in lawsuits to law office Fred thiagarajah.
