My family and I were in need of an advocate in education law. Never in a million years did we ever think we would be in that situation. We felt the odds were against us and my son was not getting the education he needed. From the first appointment we knew we found someone who not only had expert knowledge of PA Education law but also had a heart of gold. His compassion and knowledge provided us an opportunity to stand up and truly advocate for our son in ways we were unable to do prior. Although we did end up in a courtroom we finally received the best end result. Fred knew how to get the job done! My son now has an opportunity to receive his education in the manner that is best suited for him. The school district has finally acknowledged his disability. Without Fred this would not have happened. Fred takes the time to explain everything to you in detail and really cares about you. It wasn't so much about "winning" as much as it was about getting the best result for my son. Nobody truly "wins" in court but I am proud to say my son has won the right to his education without being penalized for a disability outside anyone's immediate control. As parents we were ill equipped to navigate this process without having an advocate like Fred. Looking back to the first appointment in his office when we were in so much despair I remember leaving with a glimmer of hope. Where we are today as a family is truly amazing. We were able to succeed. Best of all our son is thriving! Saying thank you is simply not enough. I hope others who are in need of an expert in education law can also partner with Fred. Fred will get the job done!

Lacks knowledge, overcharges and takes forever to do simple tasks
Lacks knowledge, overcharges and takes forever to do simple tasks. Simply not concerned or caring about your case, period. Then he will overcharge you and charge 1.5 hours consultation that he initially said was free. Difficult to deal with. Says he will do this, and does the opposite
