Bio
Jeanne Klimowski
I've used Fred as my corporate attorney for multiple matters spanning a few years now. He's smart, trustworthy and effective. He's also always on time and works ahead of deadlines, which are those rarer qualities that unfortunately can be hard to find. He's my go to guy for business related legal matters, very knowledgeable, street smart and interested in my results (instead of billable hour focused). I recommend Fred very highly.
Jon Gibson
Frederic Douglass is a passionate man with a high standard of values. He has confidence in who he is a man and doesn't have an ego that could get in between the very best he can provide for his clients. He's an experienced litigator and is a cool customer in what can be very tense situations. I highly recommend Frederic as an attorney and a friend. I'm a recording artist who's signed hundreds of agreements and so I've met some great attorneys and Fred is always my first choice. Jon Gibson
