Frederic Cedar Foster

Look, I have nothing to gain or lose with writing a review about this attorney. I can only hope that others will judge for themselves and make their own decision. This entire firm is really only concerned about what money they can pull from you. They look at the possibilities on day one and see if it... is even worth their time. It does not matter if they are decent lawyers or not, they will never use the knowledge to help you. In the end, many have found that once they see the money start to dry up, they walk away from you. If you have an unlimited amount of money, they might be the lawyer for you. And when I say unlimited, I mean unlimited. And of course, that does not assure you that they will be with you until the end. I worked with Frederic (Rick) Foster and it was a horror show. There is no way for me to describe in detail the trouble he caused me, the money he cost me, and the heartache he caused. But I can warn others. Do yourself a favor, find another attorney.

Met w Fredrick (who's receptionist said it was a free consultation) represented himself as my attorney, taking a $7,500. After a month and a half of my calling, with no response, I got a young attorney named Eric who doesn't know his a$$ from his elbow who says now he was my attorney. I even question...ed Fredrick who stated he was fully aware of everything that would go on in my case, Eric worked hand in hand with him. This firm took the WHOLE RETAINER for a simple Pendente Lite and Net Worth affidavit, even charging me for THEIR correction of THEIR mistakes. While in court, not only did Fredrick walk away from me saying Eric was representing me that day, Eric refused to fight for full amount of Child Support I was entitled by law to because "he didn't really feel like wasting time over another $75". Eric said he was going to file the PL while in court and then charged me for a visit to the court THE NEXT DAY for the paperwork he said he filed. Eric told me that I should put "my kidney out for sale" if I wanted to fight for custody of my child. When I requested a meeting w Fredrick to go over my billing issues (such as charging me for initial consultation, double billing, billing for attorney time when it was clerical, asking for same information 2-3 times) he not only couldn't answer any of my billing concerns because ironically Eric was out of the office (even though I had scheduled the meeting two weeks in advance, at the end of the day) he screamed and became belligerent demanding to know if they were "relieved of their representation". I have letter from my ex's attorney who states he had called Foster, Vanderburg and Riyaz to speak to anyone representing me and was ignored for 1 month! Fredrick screamed during the meeting that I was lying and refused to look at the letter. Fredrick has yet to have the backbone to have a proper meeting with Eric in attendance and refused to refund any portion of my retainer.
