Doug Frederick and his legal staff did an outstanding job in obtaining a consent judgement to evict a couple of tenants. He is highly recommended.

Mr. Fredrick and his Paralegal were extremely helpful with my case. Both were efficient, considerate of my situation, timely in responding to my questions, and most importantly meeting the required deadlines for a speedy resolution. I would highly recommend Mr. Fredrick if you need representation.

It can be so hard to find an attorney that will go the extra mile to get things done. When we needed help with a family law appeal, we looked everywhere for someone that we could count on. We first noticed Doug when reviewing the Family Law section of the Bar Association. His activity in advocating for his clients and his knowledge of family law really impressed us and prompted us to find out more. His online reviews are right on! He is active in current family law and actively participates in conferences. He is sharp and on top of things! Doug has been, and continues to be, the lifeline that we needed in one of the most stressful times of our life! He went the extra mile to make sure we understood everything and took the time to help us every step of the way. He not only represented us in the appeal, but also offered his expertise and advice for the next battle. Most impressive, he not only serves his community, but his country as well. Thank you Doug and God bless you!

When I started my divorce, I was initially recommended by my parents to see another "top" lawyer in town, and I was immensely dissatisfied with the service. Then a friend recommended Doug Fredrick, and I hired Doug as my attorney. Doug was amazingly more involved, I always felt that he was fighting for me and for my rights with my kids. It was night and day difference between what service I got from Doug and from my previous lawyer. I highly recommend Doug!

I needed a local attorney to attend a hearing on one of my rescission cases. First he referred me to a local attorney in the County that I needed, but the local wasn't available to assist. Mr. Fredrick was willing to help me out by attending the hearing even though his office is located in Springfield, he was willing to drive to the neighboring county to assist our firm. At the hearing, Mr. Fredrick was able to represent our firm with the utmost professionalism, and the outcome of the hearing was in our firms favor, because of his willingness to assist. I will keep Mr. Fredrick as a contact for our firm for future business. Thank you Mr. Fredrick for your assistance.

Mr. Fredrick was a very good and helpful lawyer. My wife had filed for divorce and we had a seven month old son (our first). My ex tried to limit my time spent with my son. Since he was so young it was a difficult situation trying to find where my rights were and what was right for my son. The case was made more complicated by my ex claiming my house was unsanitary and unsafe for my son. Mr. Fredrick recommended a guardian ad litem for our case to represent my sons best interests. This worked out great as she was able to investigate and see the claims were baseless. Mr. Fredrick was very quick to respond to emails. He made recommendations but I always felt that the decisions were ultimately mine to make which I liked. His paralegal Gabrirlle was also very friendly and helpful. Ended up settling without a trial (we want up to the last week before the trial before agreeing). I was very confident in our position and my lawyers ability to present our case had it went to trial and this led to a settlement I was very happy with.

Mr. Fredridck assisted me with a speeding ticket and every part of the process was quick and easy. His staff were extremely friendly and he helped me get past the issue with minimal effort. I would recommend him without hesitation.

My 6 year old deck began rotting. I contacted Mr. Fredrick, who helped by figuring out how to get ahold of the company that produced the faulty lumber and their legal department. Mr. Fredrick followed up by arranging for an investigator to travel from TN, inspect my deck, and recommend a settlement offer. I was impressed by this lawyer's diligence and how he kept me informed of my case's status. I highly recommend Mr. Fredrick if you want an honest, sincere attorney who will pay attention to your problem.

Doug has been a fantastic lawyer for us. He is very knowledgeable in military and family law (we are Air Force). We found his down to earth and frank demeanor to be very comforting in what was a difficult and complex child custody case involving the abuse and neglect of my three teenage kids by their mother and her boyfriend. I have never had the feeling he was interested in gouging us for money, which has happened to us before with another lawyer. He would often advise us as to potential costs pursuant to a decision or action, and provide counsel to help keep his billing costs to us down. I was very apprehensive about this case, the financial costs, and the ability to obtain primary physical custody of my kids from their mother. I was concerned of the emotional toll the proceedings would take on all of us. If I did not feel the change was vital for my kids’ well-being, I probably would have chickened out. I needed a good lawyer to walk us through it. On multiple occasions, when we were feeling distraught and hopeless, Doug’s professionalism and knowledge calmed our nerves and gave us the confidence to forge ahead and make decisions. He did a great job of drafting Motions,Affidavits, Parenting Plan, etc.. working with us to adjust the verbiage, and getting them into the court. We also found his decision-making and interaction with the judge and defensive counsel to be both astute and effective. What makes all of this more amazing is that we have never met Doug face-to-face. I saw his picture for the first time today. We started this case in Summer of 2015, from Germany and finished after moving to Virginia. The final judgment should be complete next week. He was very accommodating in helping us overcome the challenges of working from distance. Based upon our experience, I think it is a good assumption he is even better in person. I vehemently disagree with the May 2015 review which claims Doug was only interested in the paychecks and was not diligent with a case. What lawyer does not submit a single motion in 10 months? How is that possible? This must have been his evil twin, because we did not experience this. This sounds more like a disgruntled customer who was not diligent and did not have a case go his way. Two things a good customer should understand. (1) This is YOUR case…you need to put in the effort to collect and compile supporting evidence/documentation for your case. The more you are able to do, the less you pay and the more you lawyer is able to focus on the bigger things; (2) Doug is not going to lie, so if you are looking for a lawyer to fabricate a story or twist the truth…then you should go elsewhere; (3) Some lawyers are better than others…but they are not magic. They can’t make a good case materialize out of thin air. If you don’t have enough supporting evidence or a good case…then you don’t. If Doug doesn’t feel like you have a good case. I am pretty certain he would tell you. There is justice in the court system, but a good lawyer is an important step in obtaining it. In my opinion, Doug is A-grade! My kids are now with us in Virginia for good! Even if the outcome had not been favorable, my review of Doug would still remain the same.
