wrongful death civil case

Fred handled our wrongful death case with the utmost care and attention. He made a difficult process as smooth as possible, explaining the legal process, all of our options and he worked tirelessly on our case, on our behalf. We ended up settling the case and are satisfied with the outcome. I woul...d highly recommend Fred to represent them, and they can feel confident in having him by their side.

Senior Vice President

I was referred to Fred by a colleague, as I had never hired a lawyer before. Fred and his team were great to work with, they spent a lot of time walking me through the process and providing expectations on timing of events. Fred was a great communicator and made sure that I was informed throughout ...the process. I have already referred Fred to another friend of mine that needed a Lawyer and I will continue to do so. Fred and his team, were part of my team as I went through the legal process. I am very glad I had Fred Monroe representing me and my family.

Estate matter

Fred and his team did an excellent job resolving an estate matter my family had. They were able to achieve a very favorable outcome saving my family a considerable amount of money. Our case was not a simple open and shut one to say the least. I would consider it to have been a complex case that cove...red a time span of 20 plus years with a sizable amount of money at stake. I would recommend and use Fred in the future should the need arise.

Labor Dispute Representing Plaintiff

From the first conversation with Fred, he was very patient explaining the merits and challenges of my case. He was understanding of my situation and I genuinely felt that he really wanted to help out the best he could. Of course, he had financial incentive to do so, but I always felt we were a team... in this together, and he truly was there to protect my rights. He always took time to answer my phone calls, even going over issues twice so that I wouldn't have to recap the conversation to my wife. In the end, Fred achieved a favorable result for me and helped me negotiate the best resolution given his vast experience dealing with both sides of the equation. I would whole heartedly recommend Fred. He is one of the best!
