Rich was more than understand, thoughtful and helpful. Rich happened to be the 3rd lawyer I hired and I will continue using him in the future. The communication from Rich and the office people was outstanding. I was always kept informed about where we were at in the process.

I would like to commend Richard on his work on my behalf. He handled my divorce, and did a great job. Of course it was a sad, draining and emotional situation, but he was an outstanding person to be able to speak with in regards to my issues. He presented not just the perspective I wanted to hear, but a perspective that was bilateral and reasonable. He talked me ‘off my ledge’ when I was working myself up with issues that were not actually worthy of even being issues. Sometimes I had concerns that were in need of a prompt and direct response, and other times I had questions and ‘what if’ scenarios that he helped talk me through. He was very reasonable in cost, exceptional in service and sound in advice and guidance.
Along with that is his assistant Mandy Demers. She is a remarkable woman. She has a very good grasp of the ‘ins and outs’ of the law and of filing. She was hands down a saving grace for me when she would accept a short 15min call that would relieve me for hours and hours of internal stress. She has been in the business for a long while, and her experience is invaluable. I think this team is awesome, and not that I would ever wish a divorce or family matter on anyone, but if the time/need comes, you would be foolish to go with anyone but these two.

i recently had to go thru one of the hardest times in my life. being married with 5 children for 8 years and sad to say the marriage was indisputably broken. i didn't want to be taken advantage of because i have been thru similar courts and was left with a very bad outcome due to another lawyer not doing his job properly. i was very hesitant to get another but knew i needed one. Richard was very knowledgeable with everything and let me know exactly what to expect as the trial went along. the outcome was satisfactory even though we didn't get everything we went for. we did however get 99% of what we wanted because of the evidence and the way it was presented. i deeply appreciate there willingness to help and give me instruction also with there sympathy knowing that this was not a light subject. from the bottom of my heart i want to thank Richard Fregin and Mandy Deemers for all the support and representing my children and I

I have two ex-wives. Two. They knew of each other and had plenty of time to get friendly and come up with lots of stories about how neglectful, abusive and evil I am. All exes do that, sure, but I had two.
Where that get's sticky is that they would talk to court-appointed people and tell these stories they had cooked up; their interview matched each other, but didn't match mine, of course. Those reports to the court would then say something like "their stories match, so it must be true" and the judges would act as if it actually were true, and was upset because he thought I was lying to boot. That's a lot of leverage, substantiated by deadbeat dad stereotypes but unchecked by reality.
Imagine how badly that could go. My situation was worse than that. Have you ever gone into a hearing to find out that your expensive attorney isn't prepared? They aren't aware of key details of your case or even where to find them in your file? This was how I was being separately represented in the midst of the exes using and abusing the system.
It's at this low point that I hired Rich to represent me in both cases. Rich and his paralegal, Mandy, were fantastic from Day 1. They're professional and very detailed. There was never a point at which I felt that they were forgetting any details or missing the point in any of my pleadings or proceedings.
In the end, they turned that horrible situation into a much more fair and balanced one. It didn't happen overnight, but they were extremely effective... both legally and in keeping me focused on the big picture along the way.
Rich will be my attorney until I no longer need one. I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Richard handled my child custody case in 2009. Without him at the helm, I don't think my case would have gone as well as it did. Richard was very accessible and responsive during the case and kept driving the process forward. He has a knack for making you feel like you are his most important client when you are speaking with him directly, which I found to be a very comforting trait. I would recommend Richard Fregin to anyone in need of a highly skilled, personal yet very professional lawyer.

Rich was an attorney assigned to my case by a firm I had hired 3-4 years ago. I had a very nasty battle with my children that spanned 2 counties so it made my case very difficult. I liked Rich very much because he was very nice, he didn't make me feel as if I was beneath him as others in the legal industry have. When Rich left this firm he had the respect to contact me and tell me so that I didn't feel as if he just up and left me. It was this day that I knew that Rich stood above many of the other attorneys out there and also helped to put a positive perspective on such a bad reputation that attorney's have. I didn't just feel like I had an attorney, I felt lie I had a friend too. I liked how knowledgable he was and always willing to help, as well s how patient he was with all of my questions.He was also never above showing his human side. He understood and made me feel a lot bettter about the nasty battle I was going through. He was compassionate, professional and I would recommend his services to anyone just as I have in the past. :0)

Richard helped me with child custody after my first lawyer basically screwed me over and left a mess. I wish I would have found Richard first! He is very nice and patient and works hard to do everything he can. Richard is extremely knowledgeable. He also goes above and beyond.

Richard Fregin is the best lawyer I have ever known!! Unfortunately I have known a lot! I have been in a Custody/Child Support BATTLE with my ex for 13 years!! I have spoken to and used many lawyers along the way and Mr. Fregin is the best!! He was very honest which was a must for me.I don't fight dirty I fight fair. I believe what goes around comes around and I like to sleep at night. Mr. Fregin was there for me every step of the way on my last go around (My youngest child just turned 18 so I'm done!!!YEAH!!) He kept me well informed an asked for my input on everything and didn't do anything I didn't want him to. He charged a VERY fair fee as well. Mr. Fregin made himself available to me by phone after hours and was very patient with me and the process. My ex's lawyer was an idiot and extremely difficult to deal with but Mr. Fregin hung in there. KUDOS!!
