About

Being Christian affectsevery aspect of our approach to the practice of law and the way we treat ourclients. The very idea of Christian lawyers may seem like an oxymoron, but itis a responsibility that we take very seriously. We believe that we are calledto not only uphold the laws and ethics codes handed down by the State, but moreimportantly, to adhere to the values set forth in the Bible. We make everyeffort to act in a way that will not only benefit our clients, but will alsoreflect our desire to perform work that is pleasing to God. We strongly believethat this adds value to the service we provide and it separates us from manyother law firms you could choose to work with. The best way to find out more about me personally and the firm is to visit our website: www.greatlakesprobate.com. That site provides not only personal information about myself and my partner, but also a great deal about the work that we do, our professional philosophy and estate planning and probate information that most clients find helpful.

It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with James on our estate plans. He was exceedingly responsive, detailed, and patient. James explained the documents in plain terms, and he answered our questions in great detail. He presented options for us to choose throughout the process but never pressured us one way or the other. He worked efficiently, often returning revisions to us within hours of our correspondence. James made the estate planning process pleasant, and our documents accurately reflect our exact wishes. We highly recommend James and plan to seek his services in the future.

James is truly a decent caring Christian attorney! He spent much time to consult me without charging me. That's quite unusual. It demonstrates that he is really out there helping people, not just making money. if anyone need legal help. I strongly recommend go to James.

I had a somewhat complex situation dealing with my mothers estate, but Mr Frederick took the time to answer several questions online and even accepted my phone call to give me more details on how I should approach the issues. Dealing with documents and assets that aren't' up to date can create a headache for anyone. Mr Frederick has helped with my questions on several occasions here and should i need to hire an attorney I would definitely seek him out first.

I consulted with James during a several month's long effort to get insight into my deceased mother's living trust. James provided excellent answers to my questions, which gave me insight into details of trust law that helped me put my mother's passing into correct perspective. A will is just that, an expression of someone's intentions after their life has ended. Many of the details of how trusts function that James shared with me proved to be invaluable to my gaining understanding and, thus, closure. I highly recommend James Frederick to anyone who, like me, is seeking answers about an area of the law most of us seldom deal with. I am confident in recommending James to those seeking legal help. They will find themselves well served and gain a professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate advocate.

I would highly recommend Attorney Frederick to anyone who needs a compassionate and fair attorney who follows the probate law to the letter and gives sound advice. He helped ease my mind when I had questions regarding how probate would work with my parents' estate and advised me of different situations that could affect the outcome - things I didn't know before speaking with him. I can't recommend him highly enough - he really put my mind at ease and thoroughly answered all my questions.

Within a half hour I received a straight forward, to the point answer to a question I was terribly upset over. The relief at his answer was overwhelming for me. I am now relaxed and happy that he took the time to reassure me I was not legally doing the wrong thing concerning a family member. Thank you.

Mr. Frederick was awesome. He treated me better on line,responding to my questions, in a short period of time. So very different from the disrespectful, inhumane treatment I received from my retained attorney the past 18 months. I sing his praise us and will send many referrals his way. Hopefully I will never need another attorney but I would retain him hands down immediately.

I just spoke with James and he not only made me feel better(stressed)...but gave in-depth info on exactly the procedure that needs to be taken. It seems I have more time than I thought...and he was honest about that! He listened and at no point did I feel he was after my case...as I have felt with other attorneys...and he gave his advice...which I needed to hear! I can tell you that if I do need to proceed with an attorney when the time comes...I'll be calling James. Thank you James! Jerry
