Repeat Client

Freddy recently represented me in an enforcement action after doing so for my divorce a few years ago. In both instances, Freddy was honest and dedicated, walked me through the process, and provided tremendous peace of mind through some difficult times. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with f...amily law issues.

Thank You

I appreciate everything you have done for me. You helped me out when I needed help the most and I am grateful and thankful. Thank you for your guidance not only as my divorce attorney but also making sure I am okay. If you have any questions about having Freddy as your attorney, you shouldn't. He i...s truly a person who is passionate about what he does but also he truly is of service to others. He is upfront, understanding, compassionate, and he truly cares. I am again, grateful and thankful.

Divorce with custody

I hired Freddy to help me navigate the divorce from my ex who had made threats against me and my son. My ex made considerably more than me and Freddy was very reasonable and helpful with finances ensuring me that he would work with me so that I could finish the case. Freddy was available nights and w...eekends whenever something arose to ease my concerns and help protect me and my son. Freddy helped educate me on the process of the divorce and extensively helped prepare me to testify so that I could get primary custody of our son. He was compassionate, knowledgeable, prepared and succinct in his presentation of my case. He taught me that sometimes "less is more" and that I dont have to say everything. I was assurred throughout the process and able to divorce and get primary custody and protections to help the courts remain involved so that I could ensure safety and security for myself and my son.

Parent-Child Relationship

Freddy represented me when I went through a modification of parent-child relationship. He was available 7 days a week and responded quickly and efficiently. With Freddy’s knowledge and years of experience, I was able to stay focused on what really mattered and make decisions that not only benefits my... daughter currently but also long term. Freddy’s experience in the field greatly shined through when we went to court and other attorneys were asking him for advice. He treats every single person with the most utright respect and truly fights for what is right.
