Client Reviews
"Fred successfully defended me and my company in an employment discrimination lawsuit. Not having been involved in litigation before, I was very nervous and confused about the entire process. Fred did a great job explaining the process, reassuring us that we would get through it, handling each step with minimal intrusion on our work, and finally in winning a summary judgment motion that dismissed the case. Although I hope to never be involved in litigation again, if I am, I will be certain to call on Fred."
"Fred negotiated improved terms of the severance agreement that my former employer offered me. He made sure that I received everything that was owed to me under my employment contract, and that the severance agreement was fair and protected me while I was seeking new employment. He was very thorough and kept me in the loop during the entire process. I would absolutely use him again should the need arise."
