I consulted Frederick J. Schlosser on an important matter. He responded promptly, spoke with me the same day, and provided specific statute information directly relevant to my case. He’s truly an expert in his field, and I highly recommend him!

I have had Fred for my attorney for about three months and never thought he would accomplish what he did, he is not only professional but very knowledgeable in his field, I’ve referred others to him with the certainty he will get it done; his staff and other attorneys are a great team. W. H. Jr.

Fred Schlosser exudes the professionalism, tact, and knowledge that you would want and expect with 25 plus years of experience in law. My DUI was handled with care and Fred walked me through every step and gave me the facts so that I could make an informed decision and one that represented my best interest. I can not recommend him and his firm enough!

Fred explained the whole process well and implemented his game plan just as explained. He followed through and communicated back well with me, even over a several month span. We won my judgment due to his professionalism, experience and persistence. Highly recommend.

After looking for 5 star lawyers or line I chose Mr. Schlosser because he returned my call right away. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and listened to what I had to say. He told me what the fee would be up front. We were able to communicate and sign contracts online day or night. He kept me informed on my case. Mr. Schlosser was able to get my case dismissed without me ever having to appear in court saving over 6 hours of driving time. I would definitely hire Mr. Schlosser again.

After meeting with Fred for the first time, I felt very assured to know he would be handling and representing my case. He is very professional and always kept me informed after each court date. He went above and beyond for my case which resulted in the best possible outcome. He truly made the difference in lessening the requirements I had to complete, to very minimal. I would absolutely recommend Fred for legal services. He was fantastic.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

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.
