Fred is an exceptional custody attorney. From the start, he was thorough, honest, and extremely well-prepared. Fred provided me with clarity, steady guidance, and strong advocacy. He explained every step clearly, helped me stay focused on what mattered legally, and handled my situation with professionalism and precision. I felt supported and well-represented throughout the process, and I would confidently recommend him to anyone facing a custody matter. Fred truly cares! I couldn’t have asked for better representation.
The comments made in this review are much appreciated. However, it is easy to represent an individual who has such care and concern for the safety and welfare of their child!
Contacted this lawyer to help with a divorce decree with the assets being split/paid according to the decree from about 9 yrs ago for my fiance. Contacted him through email and he was responsive and knew all of this information. He suggested I scan and email him the decree, which I did. He then suggested calling his office to schedule, why that part couldn't have been done through email, I'm not sure as when I later called, he was the one who answered the phones also. This was after one call and voicemail left in the presence of another person, wherein he claimed he got no call or voicemail, although my call to his number was on my call log. Then called to make an appointment as he suggested. We ultimately could not schedule as he could not accommodate that we needed a 4pm or later appointment. My fiance and I both work over an hour away from the Wyoming Valley(over 60 miles away) so getting back prior to 4 isn't feasible. He said 3pm was the latest he could do and couldn't accomodate us although when speaking with him or communicating with him via email it was much later than 4pm even. He also said, "this is for your fiance, so I need to be talking to her, do you know her schedule?" A, yes I know her work schedule, B, she didn't know how to go about going after her share of assets from her decree she never got to begin with due to an incompetent system in the first place apparently or she would have had them when the order/decree came out, and C, I'm the one who'd be paying for your services, (if we selected him). People pay these attorneys thousands and thousands through a divorce process and don't receive the assets they are supposed to in the decree so what did you pay them for? To go through the motions to ultimately not get any of your possessions or assets (which were significant) in the end, is not something any logical or reasonable person would say is ok. During the call, I would describe him as crude, rude, pushy and flat unprofessional in my opinion. After hearing his attitude and personality I would not have selected him anyway. He may in fact, be a skilled attorney, that I do not know, but in my opinion, his customer service, personality, and demeanor were terrible and in my humble opinion he has an attitude problem also. I'm not going to pay someone hundreds an hour to get an attitude from him, or allow him to talk to my fiance or I in that manner. In my opinion, he needs to seriously introspect on how he speaks to potential clients.
This individual contacted my office to inquire regarding enforcement of the terms and conditions his girlfriend's Decree in Divorce, entered many years ago. I was uncomfortable discussing the matter with him, as she was the potential client. He was unhappy when I indicated I would need to meet with her and the meeting would be scheduled during normal business hours (with the latest appt. for a new client being 3:00 p.m. as it typically takes a least 1 1/2 hours to review the issues). I never provided this man advice as he was not a client. His review is a prime example of his true nature. Enough said.<br>
I highly recommend his services Very attentive to emails Always gets back to you quickly he is a hard-working attorney he gets things done
Thank you for the kind words. It was my pleasure assisting you regarding your family law needs!
Kind and caring thank you ...
I called him and he screamed in my ear. Rudest person ever! I ended up hanging up. He wouldn’t even hear the facts of my case, kept telling me to be quiet and made assumptions. Do yourself a favor, find another attorney because if he won’t listen to you-he will won’t get the facts straight!
This woman called my office today to ask that I get involved in a matter dating back to 2012. She advised she just fired her existing attorney and that the individual who has been assigned by the Court to hear her divorce action didn't know what she was doing. She had a "bad connection" on her cell and had to call my office three seperate times. One the last call I told her I was unable to handle her case and she hung up the phone. She is clearly frustrated by the litigation process and is now trying to lash out at me. Sad case!
I retained Fred's service to handle my divorce. Fred is very knowledgeable and straight to the point, he kept me informed every step of the way. I would definitely use him if the need should arise again for legal representation.
It's always a pleasure to assist clients who are friendly, cooperative and willing to follow the legal advice and direction provided to them during the litigation process. Steve is a fine example of such clients. I wish he and his family the best of luck moving forward!
If I could I’d give this guy 0 stars… was really nice the day before on the phone , this guy thinks he’s better than everyone ,and is very unprofessional , good luck with this guy
This individual is not and has never been a client of my office. If he called for advised over the phone and did not like the response he recieved...there is not much I can do about that. However, he is in no position to review my services as counsel.
Fred helped me obtain my divorce. He was professional and no-nonsense. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything. Thanks Fred!
When clients are as cooperative and friendly as Sam, it is a pleasure to assist with thier legal needs. My hope is that he fully enjoys the next chapter of his life!
Fred was awesome. He filed all my paperwork on time and was straight forward with everything and there was no hidden extra cost. I highly recommend him!
It's a pleasure providing clients like Joe the services required to dissolve thier marriage. Although the process can, at times, be very emotional and stressful, Joe remained drama free and very cooperative...a great client and terrific guy.
I can definitely tell why so many bad reviews. Aggressive behavior, hostile and no education.He does not let their clients talk. Using bad words is very unethical. End of the story don't go to this office
I have never met this person. I suspect she is related to the woman who made the earlier post. It is unfortunate that people who do not retain your services are able to make outlandish comments and provide ratings about the same.
If I could give 0! Stars I would. I have no idea how a lawyer can be so nasty and screams at their clients faces without the clients saying a single word. So unethical and disrespectful. Another lawyer was shock!when I told my experience to him. Disgusting attitude. Run away from this office
This young woman called my offcie yesterday advising she was in the process of trying to obtain a Decree in Divortce without having to retain an attorney. I requested she infrom me of the steps she had already taken so that I could let her know what she needed to do to rectify any wrong steps. She was unable to indentify what documents had been filed. Accordinbgly, I invited her to the office this morning so we could review the documents to make an determination as to that "fix" . The meeting was considered a free consultation. When she arrived (20 minutes early) I asked that she show me all of the documents previously filed. When I began asking follow-up questions, she became annoyed and disrespectful. I then asked her to leave. She used profantity and walked out of the office. End of story.
He was very rude and nasty and he actually hung the phone up on me I told him I was looking for a lawyer he then replied now you not then hung up I wouldn’t recommend him to anybody please don’t waste your time.
I spoke to this individual on the phone for a period of less than ten seconds. During that breif exchange, this indicidual would not resposnd to my basic questions. Thehrfreo, I ended the conversation. End of story.
Fred helped my brother with custody issues years ago and recently helped me. He believes in what is best for the children. He is reasonably priced, gives honest advice, and responds in timely matters! Even when the case was finalized, he continued to go above and beyond to ensure the new custody order was being followed. I full heartedly recommend him for all custody and child support cases!
Josh is a dedicated young Father. It was an honor to assist in his efforts to ensure a continuing and deeper relationship with his child.
Fred made sure I got 50/50 custody with my daughter and fair child support amount. He was on top of everything and he was able to get a custody agreement done before we went trial. It’s a tough situation having to fight for fair custody of your child as father. He made me feel confident that it would go through and it did. I highly recommend his services.
As I have said before, it is a pleasure assisting a parent with custody issues when the individual has a deep love and concern for the best interest and welfare of their child. Great Dad!
Very professional, knowledgeable at his practice.
Shamicks was a pleasure to represent. Thoughtful, compliant and friendly clients with positive attitudes make my job easy!
He is a really good lawyer… Very quick and responsive. I highly recommend him. Thanks
Was such a big help with a custody matter that i had, was able to provide so much information and was able to help me resolve the matter and i would with out a doubt hire again and again!
It is always a pleasure representing a parent whose primary focus is the best interest and welfare of their child. It is also a rewarding experience obtaining periods of custody for a client whose former spouse/partner was refusing contact with the child without a reasonable basis.
Up front and brutally honest about the process.
It was a pleasure meeting "Pink Lady" to discuss her situation. At times, initial consultations can be a challenge as I have to inform the potential client of my understanding of the law as it relates to their individual circumstances.....which may not be what they are expecting to hear. However, it is important to know your rights and obligations before engaging in any form of litigation.
Not even one star! Talked down to my adult daughter like she was a child. Looking for an ear to listen to, not him. My daughter has mild autism and is very introverted. Would have been nice if he listened for a minute or two and showed a little respect.
What an unfortunate experience. This woman's adult daughter scheduled a consultation with my office to discuss a custody matter. Previous to our meeting, she filed multiple petitions with the court which...upon my review...were without merit and unlikely to prevail. After asking very basic and direct background questions then trying to explain why I did not believe she would succeed on her claims, the potential client stood up and walked out of the office; leaving her parents behind. I spent additional time providing the parents suggestions as to what steps their daughter may want to consider moving forward with the custody matter. At no time did I "speak down" to this woman nor was I informed by either her or her parents she suffers from any disabilities requiring a modified approach different from the typical manner of conducting an initial consultation. However, despite mother's claim, the potential client (daughter) could not reasonably be described as "introverted". Rather, she was frustrated by my statements about the law and likelihood of success in Court, then became angry and left the office. Additionally, I was informed by the parents the father of the children has questioned this woman's mental health in the past, via multiple 302 evaluations. My hope is that she refrains from this type behavior when presenting her claims to the Court. I wish her and her family nothing but the best
A big thank you to attorney Howe. He is an amazing lawyer. He did so much for my son and grandson. I would recommend him 200% to anyone who needs a great lawyer. He really went above and beyond for us. Thank you thank you thank you. We will def be using him in the future.
Thanks so much for the very kind words! It is such a pleasure to assist clients who are so caring/loving/concerned for the safety and welfare of their children/grandchildren!
