When faced with the reality of having to look for a criminal attorney it is safe to say it's not the greatest experience. However, if you find yourself in need of an attorney in Albuquerque or the surrounding area the only name I would recommend is Michelle Frechette. Michelle and Rod provided not only exceptional legal representation, they provided it with a level of compassion and empathy that is rare to find in any environment. It was clear from the very first interaction I had with Michelle that her motives and purpose for practicing criminal law are grounded in helping people get through challenging times. In addition to the spirt Michelle and Rod possess, they have exceptional experience in their field-having practiced law for 30+ years and have deep ties to the local legal community. I honestly cannot express how grateful I am to her and her office for the time she helped me through one of the most trying times of my life. I will be forever grateful and will never forget the impact it had me. -Thank you

I picked Michelle Frechette off of the NM Bar Association’s website. I was scared. I have extremely limited experience with the law and the was shaking when the judge told me the maximum penalties I might receive if found guilty for my citations. Michelle patiently walked me through all of my options and which one she recommended and why. She was clear about her costs up-front. Even if the outcome had not been what I wanted, her legal expertise would have still been a steal. An amazing value! An even better person! Thanks to her, this solo Mother is not in jail, did not have to pay fines, and was able to have my citations cleared after a 90-day deferment. I am grateful to her wisdom and compassion. I hope to never need her services again but cannot recommend a better defense.

My family and I are eternally grateful to Michelle Frechette. She helped us a to save our furry family member, my personal emotional support animal. She handled my case with care and understood my needs and medical issues but was compassionate, straight forward, and honest through out the whole process. She let me know our odds the steps to take and to avoid and was clear and upfront. I can tell you, should I ever need an lawyer again I will never go anywhere else! I only wish I could add even more stars to this review because 5 just isn't enough for the weight and turmoil she has lifted from our lives. Thank you!

The best criminal defense team in Albuquerque! I presented them a pretty tough case to win and they helped me every step of the way with paperwork and helping me make sure I get done with everything I needed to, everything really, all the way to the end. They answered all the questions I had, and let me tell you I had so many, but Michelle walked me through everything. They are very knowledgeable and experienced and I’m so super thankful for them! You definitely, definitely, definitely, want Frechette & Associates, on your side.

In times of need and complete unknown circumstances, Michelle Frechette has been THE absolute best explaining everything going on along with EXCELLENT guidance and advice! Even when my car got impounded and the company was trying to mess me over, as soon as I told Michelle what had happened she jumped immediately to already fight any unfairness coming my way! Now she’s got my case dismissed! Something I didn’t even think could be possible!! Great GREAT law firm, but absolutely THE BEST attorney!

Michelle did a wonderful job and was very skilled in handling my DWI case. I never had to worry about wether or not I would be able to contact and she always acted with 100% sincerity. She handled things in a way that allowed me to focus on dealing with life difficulties from the arrest, counseling appointments, etc. Her skill and expertise were the best I could have hoped for and made my whole situation much easier to deal with on a day to day basis.

Absolutely they most professional group you could get! They handled my case with their absolute experience and without a dought are the hardest working attorneys in this field couldn't recommend them more to anyone with a case no matter the circumstance they also did my retribution case and where absolutely amazing couldn't ask for more Frechette and Associates is whome you should work with. . .

I emailed a few questions about a issue I had no clue where to begin with, Michelle emailed me back within minutes. She explained what I needed to do, how to do it, where to get it done. She was very informative and wished my luck. Even though I didn't need to hire her services, if I ever find myself needing legal help, I would definitely hire her.thanks for the help

The attorney for DWI cases was extremely helpful and a sweet lady. She provided all the Information necessary for me to reinstate my license via email and talked me through the process FREE of charge. Hopefully I never need this again but if I do I will absolutely be calling Frechette and Associates!

I hired Frechette & Associates to handle my case at the recommendation of a high ranking New Mexico state attorney. Given my situation, they helped me to best possible outcome for my case. I highly recommend Mr. and Mrs. Frechette for anyone seeking a high quality New Mexico defense attorney.

michelle was extremely knowledgeable and responsive with the answers that i required. i contacted frechette & associates for an inquiry and was not provided with lots of fantastic info, but a good starting point too! very knowledgeable and courteous!

Most awesome lawyer. She even took the time to explain the entire process and offer several strategies to get where I needed to be. Hopefully I will not need a defense attorney in the future, but if I do, she will be my first call.

I got treated like I was a killer the whole time. Got talked down soon because my anxiety problem and talked to like I was stupid even though the judges love me I have nothing good to say about this place but rods cool I guess.

I called in for a consultation and the attorney I spoke with provided me with all of the information that I needed. She definitely knew what she was talking about and I will definitely call back if I need further assistance.

Michelle provided a very informative and helpful consultation to me and my son. I appreciate her open and frank communication and willingness to have a dialogue that welcomes questions.

I called to ask advice about stolen identity and was able to get help right away. I highly recommend their services because they are helpful and personable.
