Child custody and support

Was very straight forward and the best person to have by your side for a custody or support hearing

Excellent lawyer in NEPA

Fred handled my custody matter with the utmost professionalism. He is always responsive, very diligent, and thoroughly communicative. He genuinely cares about the matters he handles and the clients he represents. Highly recommended.

Great lawyer, and a great guy.

Fred was really honest and upfront from the beginning to the end of my custody case to get more time with my daughter. He explained my rights as a father and was very professional and had no problem answering any questions I had and very fast response times. He actually let me know that he welcomed a...ny questions I may have and encouraged me to ask them. Fred is a good guy and a good lawyer. I will definitely use him again if the need arises.

Excellent lawyer

I recently contacted Fred regarding custody arrangements and he didn’t hesitate to make an appointment with me and my ex. He was very knowledgeable and polite through the entire experience. He explained everything in detail to make sure both parties understood what was going on and made sure we were ...both in agreement with everything we were signing before going through with anything. He took his time to make sure we felt comfortable with what we were doing. I can’t say enough how excellent he was to work with!

Professional Lawyer

I hired Fred 10 years ago as my divorce attorney. He is very knowledgeable of the law. He explains things in "my terms" so that I understand my rights and entitlements. He is very knowledgeable of the court system and knows how it works. He successfully followed my case through the divorce process by... pushing a lagging system all the way. In recent years, I have continue to retain Fred for counsel on repeated issues with my ex-husband related to support and custody of my children. I have been satisfied with my representation and received the results I had hope for. Fred is the type of lawyer that is available when you need him and will lead you in the right direction.

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.
