Posted by Alan | November 15, 2015 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent defense of my case

I was considering pleading guilty to a serious traffic offense which could have called for jail time, but I subsequently decided to hire the Frederick Law Office. I was interviewed by Bobby Frederick and Lacey Lee; they walked me through my charges and talked about how they would proceed to defend m...e. Everything was expertly and efficiently done, as they said it would be. Not only was my charge dismissed, but they were able to have it reduced to a lesser offense. Also, thanks to their counsel, I was even able to retain my driver's license for the long waiting period...inherent in this type of case. I would certainly recommend Mr. Frederick's firm to anyone needing a competent defense.

Great attorney

Bobby was very knowledgeable trustworthy and committed to my husband's case. With all the charges that kept getting stacked against him, I never thought we would get out of it, but somehow Bobby got him a great deal. He never really considered going to trial, not that I am saying it as a negative thi...ng, but it seems to be in contrast with the multiple other reviews stating he is a fan of jury trials. Maybe he just considered my husband's case not jury - compatible, but reading all these reviews it seems he kicks butt in trial, so I think he probably would have won. But I digress, I am sure he knows better than me. Either way, a great attorney!

The miracle worker

My family member was facing a ridiculous but very serious charge. We were foolish and waited until it was time for trial to find an attorney. After several phone calls we called Bobby Frederick back. He never tried to force anyone to plea he just gives you your options. If the prosecution offers you... a plea it's his job to tell you. We weighed the options that he gave us and ultimately took it to trial. Someone's life hung in the balance and it didn't look good. He won that trial. A unanimous not guilty verdict. I am so forever grateful. I sincerely love everyone in his firm for all their effort and hard work. I can't say enough about these people. I would earnestly recommend them to everyone.

Honest people that keep you informed in a time that matters most.

Had some of the nicest, professional, straightforward and informative. Got things moving fast and sent me all documentation very punctual in paper and digital. I would recommend them to everyone I know.

Wonderfully helpful attorney.

From the very first phone call I made to inquire about Bobby Frederick, I felt very comfortable and informed. I told him my situation and he laid out my options for me simply and honestly. I decided to hire him on the spot. The results were just as we had discussed during that very first phone call a...nd I am incredibly pleased and thankful for his service. The staff was wonderful to keep me informed of the exact status of my case and always returned my phone calls almost immediately and always answered all of my questions. I would absolutely recommend Bobby Frederick to anyone in need of respresentation. Thank you very much Bobby and Mindi!
