Awesome Attorney

I was fortunate to have Frederick Vasselman represent me with the process of my divorce. He represented me in getting alimony, child support and what I was entitled to have after 25 years of marriage. His knowledge, expertise in family law, overall confidence and attitude towards my situation made it... apparent that we were well prepared for every issue or event that arose. Fred helped me stick to our plan, which allowed us to obtain alimony and child support which my husband did not want to pay at all. I am so impressed with our final outcome. I will always refer to Frederick Vasselman Family law to anyone who is looking for an educated, straightforward and honest lawyer. Fred, I can never thank you enough for helping me through this most difficult and challenging situation. It was the worst 3 years of my life and I would never have been able to survive this divorce without your support and guidance. You treated me like a member of your family. I always felt you cared and wanted the best for me and my children. You are a Champion!

Matrimonial

I am a recently retired NYPD Detective and I had the pleasure of utilizing Fred Vasselman services in a matrimonial case. Fred was always available and took the time to explain the steps being taken on my behalf. Fred never misled me about pending results, even in the instances which weren't favora...ble to me. Fred served me both effectively and compassionately.

Wonderful to work with

Fred was empathetic and supportive at a critical time in my life which helped make a terrible situation more manageable. He provided clear and comprehensive explanations throughout the process and answered all my questions timely. I wholeheartedly recommend Fred for quality legal representation. Tha...nk you Fred.

Spa manager

Fred Vasselman was hired after I received a motion violation. He was able to provide outstanding service through timely assistance and gave excellent litigation support in order to have the charge dismissed. I highly recommend Fred for his legal acumen and professional conduct.
