Frederik helped me at the last minute when I was in a tough spot. He did the research, contacted the right people, and used his profound negotiating skills to get my case dismissed. I highly recommend you contact Frederik the next time you find yourself in trouble!
Fred was very helpful in my legal needs. He investigated and kept me informed of all my legal options and kept on top of my deadlines. He followed through on all possible outcomes and advised me through until the very end. He even followed up after my legal issue was resolved. I would likely recommend Fred!
Betsy went above and beyond to help in getting my license back. Honestly there's no way I'd have it if I didn't have her help. Highly recommend her to anyone. There's a lot of lawyers but not a lot of them fight for justice and she definitely does.
Fred is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He works hard for his clients, provide expert legal advise and is the aggressive criminal defense attorney you need to get your charges dropped.
Absolutely the best people to work with! Genius level and they truly care! I would take a bullet for them. They helped me out so much when I had no where to turn for legal help.
So incredibly happy with Mr. Stig-Nielsen! If not for him, my life would be fairly different right about now. To getting my DUI dropped to a Reckless Driving to being a genuine caring person about my well being. Very thankful! Need more like him!
Frederick did a amazing job for me. He went above and beyond to make sure I was getting the best outcome possible. He cares about his clients. He treats you with respect, and is not scared to fight back! I would definitely use him again if I needed to. Wouldn't hire anyone else!
