Professional

If you want a professional attorney that will take the time and answer your querstion and put your worries at ease , then no need to look any more Fred is the right attorney . Absolutely love him and will recommend him ANY time .. He's not like the other just adding hours to your bill he shows care ...and takes personal interest in you as a client .. I completely dislike attorney that get your check and then you never hear from them or get annoy if you call or text them .. Fed never made me feel like that he took time to call and made sure I was ok very unusual of attorney to really care . Thank you Fred for the professionalism you showed me , so glad I can count with you ..

Experienced Attorney Representation

I would greatly recommend Mr. Vasselman as an attorney for a number of different law matters. Mr. Vasselman represented me in court for an alleged shop-lifting incident. Mr. Vasselman listened to my side of the incident and investigate the charges and allegations. He was supportive and reassuring ...through out the process that I unfortunately had to go through. He was professional during all appearances, meetings and communications. His past experiences proved to be a positive influence on my case and dealings with the Nassau County Court System. Ultimately, my case was dismissed through the guidance and expertise of Mr. Vasselman.

Class act.

I used Fred Vasselman, from Vasselman & Spooner, P.C, for my residential home closing and he made the entire transaction very comfortable for me. It was the biggest financial decision in my life and I'm glad I chose Mr. Vasselman to assist me through it.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
