An Amazing Experience, Out of a Terrible One

Fred is an amazing lawyer. My wife was in a horrible accident, 100% not her fault, and was injured. Upon contacting Fred, a friend's recommendation, he didn't try to push the envelope an shoot for the stars. He was highly realistic and explained the process, as well as, all the other benchmark bat...tles we'd have to face before even starting. I value people when they don't just tell you what you want to hear. He then met with us at home where we went over everything again, answered some questions, and built a case. He was tremendously respectful, and sensitive to my wife's condition. Once Fred determined that we did have a case, he didn't hold back getting everything moving along. Our case was finished in less than a year, and all settlements came in the first submission. Fred put together a fully comprehensive case that spoke for itself. He had already filed all motions for different matters in advance, knowing they'd be coming later, so we didn't have to wait. Throughout the process, I mostly spoke to him through email. He would constantly respond within hours (most of the time minute) and even during a vacation of his (where I told him to forget about us for a couple days). You cannot go wrong choosing Fred as your lawyer. If ever I or a loved one/friend needed a lawyer, I have him on speed dial. He really made a horrible situation better for us and we can not thank him enough!

Relationship: Co-worker

"I’ve known Fred Altschuler for over 20 years. He is an excellent attorney who knows how to obtain substantial settlements expeditiously. Fred has the ability to think “outside the box” and achieve large settlements on cases that some other attorneys and law firms would turn away. I recommend a consultation with Fred before retaining an attorney for your personal injury claim. He has obtained large settlements in automobile accidents, slip/trip and falls and claims against New York City and various local municipalities, including Villages and County."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
