Fredric Press's Lawyer Endorsements
"Fred is an excellent attorney. I've personally worked with him and have known him for a handful of years. I wouldn't hesitate referring him to anyone who might benefit from his services."
"I highly endorse Fred. Fred and I met across the table for the first time over 20 years ago. Fred's understanding of the legal and business issues that arise in real estate transaction is impressive. What I find to be even more impressive, however, is his ability to know what really matters for his client and how to get a deal done. He is an exceptional attorney."
"I have known Fred for over 20+ years having first worked for and with him as an associate attorney and later as a partner at the Bethesda law firm of Ridberg, Press & Sherbill, LLP. Fred is a knowledgeable and skilled commercial real estate attorney handling purchases and sales, financing, leasing and landlord/tenant issues."
"I highly recommend Fred for his great knowledge in commercial real estate and general business law. He is attentive to every detail and brings a common sense approach to every issue. If I needed to hire my own lawyer, I would absolutely choose Fred."
"I've known and worked with Fred Press for more than twenty years. During all that time I've found him to have an excellent grasp of whatever issues come before him and to present his case with verve and acumen. He is an affable person with a good sense of humor and hence is able to charm colleagues and opponents alike. I have no hesitation in recommending him highly."
"I endorse Fred Press based on years working together on multiple matters across corporate and personal bankruptcy and real estate matters. The most recent involved a complex set of real property easement transfers that were transacted under a Superfund Site DOJ Consent Order. Fred's work once again was precise, detailed, and exactly what the client asked for."
"I highly endorse Fred Press for business and commercial real estate law. I worked with Fred for 10 years and learned a great deal from him. He is not only a superb legal advocate but a trusted business advisor with the highest degree of integrity and ethics."
