Born in Britain, Susan F. Fremit emigrated to Canada when she was a young child. As a teenager, she completed her secondary school education while traveling between England, Portugal and Spain.
With a Canadian Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) with a major in French and a minor in Spanish from the University of Calgary, Susan then obtained a Canadian Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from the University of Calgary in 1989. Susan also received her American Master of Laws (LL.M) with a focus in litigation from the George Washington University School of Law in 2003 and then became an American citizen in 2006.
Originally established in 1991, the Law Firm of Susan F. Fremit represented clients charged with Canadian Criminal Code, Young Offenders Act (repealed by the Youth Criminal Justice Act in 2002), Ontario Highway Traffic Act and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offenses in Windsor and Essex County, in Ontario, Canada. Over the course of a decade, Susan represented over 1,000 clients in a variety of criminal, DUI, and traffic charges. With a large majority of cases going to trial, Susan obtained significant experience in winning cases through trial preparation and research, developing arguments, acquiring expert witnesses, and discrediting Crown arguments as well as police and witness testimony. Most notably, in 1998, Susan F. Fremit represented a 37-year old male, diagnosed with schizophrenia and charged with second degree murder. After admitting on recordings with 9-1-1 operators and the police that he strangled his ex-wife to death, Susan knew her client's only chance to avoid an indeterminate mental health sentence would take a combination of experience, aggressive representation and significant knowledge of the law. Dedicating months of research to mount the strongest defense possible for her client, Susan took this case to trial and successfully convinced the jury to find her client guilty of the lesser offence of manslaughter and her client was sentenced to five (5) years in a federal penitentiary.
In 2008, the Law Firm of Susan F. Fremit, P.C. was established in Arlington, Virginia to provide a decade of Canadian legal expertise and trial experience to clients charged with criminal, DUI and traffic offenses in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, and Falls Church, Virginia. The following year, Susan received her admittance to the United States District Court Eastern District of Virginia (4th Circuit Court). In 2012, the Law Firm of Susan F. Fremit, P.C. relocated from Arlington to Spotsylvania, Virginia.
Presently, Susan continues to be authorized to practice law in three distinct jurisdictions: the state of Virginia; the United States District Court Eastern District of Virginia (4th Circuit Court); and Ontario, Canada.
