I Went for a consultation I had a lot of questions with a lot of emotions of course. Fredrick was very professional he answered all of my questions , he was also was very compassionate about my situation . It felt like I was talking to a family member not a lawyer .

Fred was professional, thorough, and did an incredible job handling my case. He answered all of my questions and put me at ease during the entire process. He quickly responded to every email, phone call, and made me feel like a top priority. I am so happy with the outcome and HIGHLY recommend Fred! Thank you so much!

I rarely write reviews but having such a great experience with Fred I felt it was necessary. In tough situations he is the kind of person you want on your side. He is dedicated, determined and he tells it “like it is.” In this world people take advantage of others whenever they can, and it is nice to know there are people like Freddy who can even the playing field. If you need a lawyer, it is without hesitation that I recommend Freddy and his firm.

I was very happy with Fred's ability to guide me through the difficult process of divorce. He was very personable and effective. I thought the process would be a nightmare and it ended up working out better than I could imagine which was due to Fred's work. I highly recommend Fred.

After my children and I had suffered the sudden and traumatic loss of my husband and there father, my mother-in-law decided to petition family court for visitation with the children. My mother-in-law made a difficult situation worst. I was frighten and scared about the petition and the outcome. Mr. Vasselman explained the petition and the different outcomes and he walked me through the whole process. I felt stronger and more confident that the situation would end benefiting my family. Mr. Vasselman was supportive, caring and empathetic to my needs as his client and with out him I do not think I would have been able to get through this difficulty time.

My son had a situation with a predater landlord. My son made some mistakes in life as most teenagers do. The person coming after my son could have ruined his life for the next 30 years, destroying his credit, preventing him from moving on. None of this was criminal in nature. Fredrick was contacted and he worked for over three years trying to resolve this with the opposing lawyers that would not respond as they were on commission for the landlord. I tried to settle with them for 3 years and they wanted to go to court as the opposition landlords could make more money. Finally Fredrick got them to settle for what I offered them 3 years previously. As I am an out of towner I needed to rely on Fredrick to handle things or the costs of retaining legal council would have been prohibitive. He was extremely fair in any costs but most importantly he gave me and my family peace of mind that a true proffessonal was on the job and my son and families best interests were being well taken care of. The case is now resolved and my son can get on with his life. Valuable lesson learned on dealing with predators in life. Thanks Fred for giving my son his future back. Ed

If you want a professional attorney that will take the time and answer your querstion and put your worries at ease , then no need to look any more Fred is the right attorney . Absolutely love him and will recommend him ANY time .. He's not like the other just adding hours to your bill he shows care and takes personal interest in you as a client .. I completely dislike attorney that get your check and then you never hear from them or get annoy if you call or text them .. Fed never made me feel like that he took time to call and made sure I was ok very unusual of attorney to really care . Thank you Fred for the professionalism you showed me , so glad I can count with you ..
