About Fred
Biography
My father was a life long member of the Teamsters Union. He drove a truck to support our family. I grew up in a working class neighborhood. I connect with people who work for a living. When they get hurt I am ready to battle the workers compensation insurance company so they receive every penny they deserve under Idaho law. This is my passion and why I practice law.

Caring, Thoughtful, Thourough
We didn't want a lawyer until they wouldn't even pay for the medical bills. Fred guided us through every step of the way taking time to listen to our concerns. He proceeded professionally, and in our best interest. A nice guy too!

Fred put me at ease
Fred was very up front with me. His experience and success with worker's comp put me at ease. Fred kept me filled in on new developments in my case and was encouraging throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone.
