Hired Attorney

Fred Fierst helped me and my family immeasurably during a very difficult time. He had excellent judgement, the highest integrity (for all concerned actually), he was creative, interested, available, good natured, extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. And was interestingly thoughtful about things, he didn't rush to judgement. If you are lucky enough to get Fred to take your case, be thankful and use your energy to supply him with the information he asks for. He will handle the lawyering and the outcome will be as good and as fair as it could have possibly been. He knows the law, he will pay attention to you and your case and he is a fine human being. I give him 100 out of 100.

Hired Attorney

Exceptional firm. As the CEO of Mirage Studios, the company that created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Fred Fierst and his team for over 25 years on a host of complex domestic and international intellectual property, licensing and entertainment industry issues. The services provided were always exceptional. With Fred representing us, I never felt outgunned no matter the size of the law firm Mirage was facing. And on top of the legal expertise of the firm, the strength that proved itself most useful time and again was Fred’s creative negotiating ability to solve even the most intractable legal and business issues. I highly recommend Fierst Bloomberg Ohm LLP to anyone seeking responsive, expert, creative legal services.

A+++ firm. We have used their services since 1994. they have negotiated complex legal deals, international deals, made introductions, won all battles, etc. It's an incredible firm. They also have a lot of experience and relationships in the entertainment industry, games, toys, movies, TV, video game, licensing, etc. I can't tell you how many attorneys have told me they are happy to deal with Fred Fierst because they know he will come up with a solution to every roadblock. Ultimately, the people at his firm are really great down-to-earth people too, a pleasure to work with.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
