Exceptional attorney worth your trust

James responded to a question I posted. I was able to reach him immediately from my first call. He spent a considerable amount of time consulting with me without hesitation. James was courteous, respectful, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He answered every question I asked directly with... sincere detailed answers. After speaking with James, it was clear to me this was an attorney who truly cares about people. He worked promptly on what I needed, kept his word and demonstrated excellent communication. I reached out to 3 attorneys, James consulted with me and completed what I needed before even a return phone call from the other 2 attorneys. I know many others, including myself, who have had just mediocre or terrible experiences trying to reach and work with an attorney. James is genuine and willing to help no matter how small or large the need. He has integrity and does not overpromise and underdeliver. I did NOT hire James by default because he answered my call. He earned my trust and respect. I would not hesitate to hire James in the future and refer him to everyone I know or meet. Highly recommended!

Answered important questions on trusts

I consulted with James during a several month's long effort to get insight into my deceased mother's living trust. James provided excellent answers to my questions, which gave me insight into details of trust law that helped me put my mother's passing into correct perspective. A will is just that, an... expression of someone's intentions after their life has ended. Many of the details of how trusts function that James shared with me proved to be invaluable to my gaining understanding and, thus, closure. I highly recommend James Frederick to anyone who, like me, is seeking answers about an area of the law most of us seldom deal with. I am confident in recommending James to those seeking legal help. They will find themselves well served and gain a professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate advocate.

Excellent Very Knowledgeable Attorney

I just spoke with James and he not only made me feel better(stressed)...but gave in-depth info on exactly the procedure that needs to be taken. It seems I have more time than I thought...and he was honest about that! He listened and at no point did I feel he was after my case...as I have felt with ot...her attorneys...and he gave his advice...which I needed to hear! I can tell you that if I do need to proceed with an attorney when the time comes...I'll be calling James. Thank you James! Jerry

Very Helpful and "Down to Earth"!

I contacted Mr Frederick regarding Probate/Estate issues. I had no previous knowledge or experience with his firm, finding him through a Google search leading to his Avvo ratings. I was greatly impressed! He returned my calls very timely, was extremely down to earth, and helpful. I contacted him twic...e and each time had the same experience. He took time himself to return my calls. With his expertise, I was able to get answers to questions my family had including recommendations as to how to proceed with my Mother's Estate proceedings. He stated he didn't see the need for our family to retain and pay an Attorney for something we could do ourselves (in our situation), and further encouraged me to contact him again if necessary. I am confident in recommending him. With creditors beginning to contact us, he truly put our mind at ease!

Outstanding Service and also a Good Person

Atty. James Frederick answered a question for me on Avvo and after several phone consultations, I hired him to assist with my father's small estate proceeding in Michigan. I don't live in Michigan, so my case needed special attention and constant contact at points. Over the course of 4 years (due to ...the nature of the case), Atty. Frederick was always available to me by phone, email, and also at one point readily agreed to travel 2 hours away to a hearing for the estate with minimal fuss. I was wary of handling the process remotely when my case started, but I can tell you that it was handled honestly, professionally, and for what I thought was a reasonable rate. If you are in the Livonia area (or anywhere in Michigan), and need any service that Atty. Frederick provides, you can not go wrong in at least speaking to him about it.
