I didn’t feel he worked for me. Very costly for no forward motion. I kept asking him to call me but he wouldn’t but didn’t hesitate and charging for every emaill. He was also good friends with the opponents attorney. I felt very betrayed. He made no effort to try. I paid everything he asked which was thousands. I felt it was a big waste of money. Finally had to dismiss the case because this attorney was just milking me for money and not moving forward.

I decide to use him a second time, and I really regret it. He ended up being very dishonest and rude. When it was time for ne to deposit more money, he said I could deposit a "flat fee". I thought that he was referring to the total amount that I would probably need for the rest of the case, so I deposited thay amount so I wouldn't have to make another deposit. He later told me when I asked for my refund that he meant a change in contract terms even though he didn't specify he was wanting to switch to a new contract type. He then told me I am the only person he has had who doesn't understand what a flat fee is. He also said I would have hardly any money left in my account anyways even though we never had to do trial prep or the trial.
I reached an agreement with the other half, and even though I told him exactly what we wanted and it was simple it took almost a month for him to get our papers ready. Then, he kept pushing back the date he said I would get my refund by. When I got my refund check, he didn't include a final billing statement. I got it, and I saw that he had miscalculated and I should get $1,500 more back. He charged me more per hour than he had earlier in the year, and he charged for both him and his paralegal doing the exact same task among other things. When I told him my refund was miscalculated, he told me I wouldn't get any more money from his firm. He also kept claiming there were things he could have charged me for (like postage) and didn't even though everything was present in my bill.

If you have been wronged by a landlord Doug Fredrick is the best lawyer for you. Unfortunately there is not a large number of lawyers for tenants but Doug Fredrick is the only one you will need. I highly recommend him, I will personally never use another lawyer ever. He was very reasonable priced and worth every dollar. He made a stressful situation very manageable. I literally have no complaints. Best experience I've ever had with a law firm. Mr. Frederick and his associate were prompt and professional. Just a overall great ordeal.

I was had an outstanding warrant I was unaware of from 10 years prior. With having no success on fixing the issue on my own, I contacted Mr. Fredrick. We sat down, discussed the issues, he explained he would do the research and get back with me. He contacted me to explain my issue with the country was all taken care of; with nothing on my record. The service Mr. Fredrick provided was fast and professional. I would recommend him to anyone..

Doug and his staff made me feel as if my case was a priority to them. Right from the consult Doug left no questions unanswered, I knew what needed to be done, how long it would take and how much it would cost. I am extremely satisfied with the results from Doug's hard work and would hire him again to represent me and my interest in the future.

Awesome positive reviews, we would like to hire Fredrick Law Office for our issues currently and stop others also being treated this way!!!

It is a shame the few tenant only law firms are overwhelmed with cases, here in Springfield.

Mr. Fredrick is very knowledgeable about the law when it comes to family/military court. As someone going through something like this for the first time I did not know what to expect. Mr. Fredricks advice throught the litigation was what ultimately helped me understand the process and enable myself to get my children back.

Initially I was quoted between $5k-$7500 for what seemed like a fairly simple case, however that was not the case mostly due to custody battle. My litigation lasted a little over a year due to several trial appearances, filings, emails etc. Whether you have a simple cut and dry or complicated case as mine, I would recommend Mr. Fredrick. I truly believe Mr. Fredrick had mine and my childrens best interests at heart, cared, and represented me to the best of his ability.

Also, his paralegal is very intelligent, polite, and got things done.

Doug Fredrick and his staff were very professional and attentive to our business situation. He gave honest business advice and options for possible solutions regarding our specific needs. He prepared the documents that we were in need of to help expedite our business needs. The situation was easily resolved with his professional help. Excellent attorney.

Mr. Fredrick and his Paralegal were extremely helpful with my case. Both were efficient, considerate of my situation, timely in responding to my questions and most importantly meeting the required deadlines for a speedy resolution. I would highly recommend Mr. Fredrick if you need representation.

I hired Mr. Fredrick to represent me in a very complicated family law/divorce case. Initially, he seemed to care about my situation and he offered many thoughts and suggestions. Mr. Fredrick's concern and effort evaporated steadily with each of my checks he cashed. I was perpetually in the dark on what was going on and what was being done. I repeatedly asked and pleaded for motions to be submitted and specific steps to be taken to stop my former spouse from ruining my relationship with my children and stripping me of my ability to be a father.

10 months later, not a single motion was made in my defense. Nothing was prepared for the trial. None of my witness were contacted in time to appear. None of my evidence was submitted in time to be used. Ultimately, I was forced to settle. The worst part was that Mr. Fredrick made me feel like the outcome was my fault.

At my lowest point, I asked Mr. Fredrick why nothing was done, why nothing was prepared, and why there was no justice. He told me that he would still go to trial for me, but the judge's decision would probably be worse than the terms of the settlement. He followed with, "pick what hill you want to die on."

At the start, I was sure that I had found a skilled attorney and an advocate who would represent me and the best interests of my children. Mr. Fredrick's statements and advice gave me a false sense of hope that justice existed in family court- Make no mistake about this- IT DOES NOT. Before I signed my name to the settlement, Mr. Fredrick revealed his true position: Justice doesn't exist in family law. The court is only there to conduct conflict resolution, if a little justice takes place- great, but that isn't the court's objective, he told me... I wish he had been so honest before I paid him so many thousands of dollars.

In truth, I believe Mr. Fredrick is very smart and capable. However, if you are a father looking to retain any shred of what being a father means to you- then I would strongly advise you NOT to retain Mr. Fredrick. My case is a lost cause, but this review might save another from experiencing the disappointment and anguish that I experienced after retaining Mr. Fredrick.

Simply Truth: If you are a father in need of an effective divorce attorney, DO NOT retain Mr. Fredrick.
