Law Office of Doug Fredrick, LLC

I used Doug Frederick for legal work in the year 2020. He and his assistant did everything they reasonably could to take the stress out of the situation. I found the cost of the process predictable and it was explained to me carefully in advance. Doug definitely helped make the situation as easy as possible to deal with. I would certainly recommend his legal services to others. This was definitely a 5 star experience for me.

Working with Mr. Fredrick was a great experience. Mr. Fredrick made the divorce process easy as possible. Mr. Fredrick was very understanding of the situation and explained the divorce process and what to expect. I was able to communicate via email with Mr. Fredrick which made it extremely convenient. Mr. Fredrick built trust with me and I valued the advice given. Overall I was very please with the hiring of Mr. Fredrick. Would gladly hire again.

Mr. Fredrick and his Paralegal were extremely helpful with my case. Both were efficient, considerate of my situation, and timely in responding to my questions and seeking resolution. I would highly recommend Mr. Fredrick if you need representation.

Mr. Fredrick helped me change my daughter's last name. He was very professional and incredibly helpful. The process was faster than I expected and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

They are friendly and helped me get past my traffic ticket really quickly and with minimal effort on my part. Highly recommended.

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 by Jesse J. Jasnoch, which claims Doug was only interested in the paychecks and was not diligent with his 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 caseyou 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 truththen you should go elsewhere; (3) Some lawyers are better than othersbut 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 casethen 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.

Mr. Fredrick represented us in a child support modification and though it took some time, it could not have gone better. He always kept me up to date and consistently made progress. I believe Mr. Fredrick went above and beyond what most attorneys would consider normality and for that, I am very grateful. His honesty at the very end of the process was more than I would expect from any lawyer and because of that, along with the overall experience, I would definitely contact his firm in the future.

Fast and efficient.

Doug is a person of outstanding character and professionalism. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he is also attentive to your needs. He puts people before his own personal gain. I would recommend him to anyone seeking council and/or representation. Thank you Doug!

Doug Fredrick represented me during my divorce, of an almost 20-yr marriage. I had relocated to Springfield and didn't know anyone that could give me a recommendation of an experienced attorney working with retired military. After calling many attorneys, most recommended Mr. Fredrick for my case! From the very first meeting, Doug explained everything, represented me fairly, respectfully and with sensitivity! Months after the divorce, Doug verified the agreements were still being met!Thank you!
