Honest. Caring . Highly Skilled more than 30 years working with Judges . Highly respected.

Mr and Mrs Kent Fruedenberg stepped into my case right away I felt protected . After having just one consultation , they prepared my response In a manner so timely I knew Kent had listened close . I am very glad to recommend this firm especially when thier is fraud . and financial abuse to seek Jus...tice over. Cecily is very helpful always answers the phone and gets things communicated and relayed quickly. . Over 30 years of knowledge. PROFFESSIONAL KIND HONEST HIGHLY SKILLED. When I met the opposing parties attorney. he introduced his apprentice intern as " Don't worry she won't bite you " the opposing council had no compassion or proffesionalism seeking to make me pay his bill when in civil cases each party should pay theyre own .Until Kent Fruedenberg came along I was so close to loosing my home terrified . Now I can start to repair damages.

Do not use

Would never recommend him. Made the bad choice of continuing with him after he bargained and met secretly with the other party in a divorce case.

Poor Communication/Dishonest

I should start by saying he is difficult to get a hold of, and even with persistence, he won't return phone calls. I began my case with him and didn't hear back for a couple of weeks, despite reaching out on 3 separate occasions. When I decided to cancel the process, he charged me $400 for draf...ting up a Petition of Parental Responsibilities. This form may have taken 10 minutes to fill out, and realistically, was done by his secretary or paralegal. Regardless, the form simply consists of my name/address, my son's, and my son's father's. I requested an itemized receipt for the time spent on my case and was not provided one. I even asked him over the phone if he had an estimate, and he chuckled, saying he'd need to add it up. He was the most affordable attorney I could find, and it's a shame because I was hoping for help. Instead he handled my short-lived case with dishonesty and poor ethical judgment.

not a good attorney

When we first met lent he fed us a dream that he had took on a case like mine and got the person out of trouble and after dealing with him not only can he not be reached when its important because his mailbox is full but his staff is also rude and when he filed a motion for me he didn't even file it ...with the right court case number and didn't even file the motion the day I gave him the paperwork he waited four days and did not return my calls and I told him to ask for house arrest and he never did I had to ask the DA myself
