I have worked with Fred Anderson under what turned out to be increasingly difficult circumstances - and I can tell you, he knows his stuff and will not be intimidated by anyone. He calls it as he sees it and does a great job fighting tooth and nail for his clients. Feel comfortable in selecting Fred Anderson as your lawyer!

I have met very few lawyers with the criminal defense experience of Mr. Anderson. He is licensed throughout the entire west coast and practices in many of the same Oregon and California courts where I got my start. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in need.
