JUSTICE ACHIEVED

I was kept posted only as issues transpired on my case and my input was essential in an endeavor to hopefully reach a settlement agreement , or to address issues of my concern. The agreement reached was just and equitable to all parties concerned. My attorney was knowledgeable about what I hoped to achieve legally and he strived to his utmost to negotiate a settlement on my behalf that would achieve these legal goals . I am completely satisfied with the agreement. Ron Frederick and Associates is a good law firm and they have a great paralegal, Connie Walker, who Ron calls the "boss". She really knows the law and the ins and outs of managing a law firm. Justice for me was achieved on July 10th, 2012. NO MORE LOAN!!!!! THANKS

I work with people who are being sued. Sometimes for repossessions where the lender did not dispose of the vehicle properly, other times with people who are being sued by other consumer lenders such as payday lenders or debt buyers. I try and find a way to defend the law suit at no out of pocket cost to the consumer and have the debt go away and/or recover money for the consumer. Yes, it does really happen.

I'm glad I called

I consulted with Mr. Frederick on the phone and he was very business-like and helpful, and clearly explained why legal action in my case would not be advised. He saved me lots of aggravation! I would certainly consult with him in the future.

Friendly and Helpful

Ron was out of my area, and to far away to do work for me, but still listened to my needs and advised on possible courses of action. Thanks Ron, Don.

Waste of valuable time.

Ron specifically of which the law firm is named after wasted a month of valuable time which is under statutes of limitations after telling me they were going to take my case and then ghost me read the Google reviews they are absolutely 100% correct the negative ones about wasting time he does it to a lot of people obviously.

Posted by anonymous | January 28, 2021

Very rude and hateful

I called for consultation and he was very rude and hateful he kept cutting me off and saying that's not what I asked you. I was trying to explain to him what was going on and he got rude and hateful. I would not recommend him by any means. He also gave me the wrong email address to send stuff to.
