About Fred
Biography
See .
Member of the bar in the District of Columbia and the State of Maine, by examination in each case. Admitted to the bar of the Third Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. Admitted pro hac vice (for a particular case) in NJ, OH, NV, MD and other jurisdictions.
Caution: I focus my practice on matters involving federal communications law, especially antenna zoning and permits. As a corollary, and to make them comply with federal law, I do a lot of work on antenna and tower leases. I cannot help you with a divorce, will, criminal or consumer matter, and so forth, in Massachusetts.

Best Attorney you can have on your side, period.
Fred is an amazing person. He has deep technical and legal knowledge that is useful when he negotiates land use and zoning, contracts and agreements on your behalf. For me he did what I thought was an impossible situation and thus I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal services ...
