Bill Walton, a California native, Basketball Hall of Fame member and noted Deadhead, once said, "I learned a long time ago that 'minor surgery' is when they do the operation on someone else, not you."
The same holds true for being charged with a crime. There's no such thing as a minor charge when you're the defendant. If you or someone you love has been arrested and charged with a crime — whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony — it's a big deal. And it is important to handle it correctly.
At The Law Offices of Frederick R. Remer in Hayward, California, we understand this. For 40 years, our criminal defense law firm has provided highly personalized legal counsel to clients who face a wide spectrum of criminal charges in adult and juvenile court, from shoplifting and DUI to domestic violence, drug offenses and homicide.
"A great thing about Fred is that he does all of his own work. When you hire him, you get him, not some associate. He is extremely well-connected in the legal world, and he will work to get you the best possible deal. He's definitely a guy who knows his stuff."

Protecting Your Rights If You Are Charged With Domestic Violence, A Drug Crime Or DUI
Attorney Remer is adamant about working closely with his clients and communicating frankly. He is greatly troubled by the trend of large law firms with no history serving Northern California clients creating virtual offices in local communities and paying more attention to their marketing campaigns than their clients' cases.
We don't farm out cases or cut quick plea deals with prosecutors in order to collect a fee and move on to the next case. Instead, we carefully review the facts of each case and create a legal strategy that will produce the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Our main objective is to prevent you from going to jail. If that's not possible, we focus on minimizing the amount of time you will be incarcerated.
Our stellar reputation and the strong relationships we have established with prosecutors, judges and other members of the legal communities throughout Alameda County and Northern California allow us to achieve great results, oftentimes without the need to go to trial.
