The Frederick Firm is a different firm in many ways.  One of the Firm’s Founding partners, Mr. Frederick, has long believed that fees for legal services have been too high, to cover high overhead costs and unnecessary and expensive “baggage” carried by many larger firms, and that law firms in general operate “inside the box” and do not explore alternative and much less expensive ways to practice law, including their seeming inability to actually use available technology day-to-day to reduce expenses and costs to their clients.  Our firm does just the opposite with our dedication to representing management in labor and employment matters and businesses in commercial litigation. 

We believe in providing the best legal services without breaking our clients’ bank accounts.  We offer our services at hourly rates lower than those billed by larger firms for attorneys of comparable or less experience, and we do not bill for the countless expenses usually tacked on to others’ already exorbitant legal fees.  For example, we do not bill for expenses except for those related to court filing fees, expenses associated with out-of-town travel, extraordinary copying expense (we consider extraordinary 250 pages, a half a ream of paper, for any one copying job), and expenses billed to us by third parties such as court reporter’s fees.  How can we do this?  Our firm has reduced overhead, resulting in our firm, acting on our own accord, actually offering  to lower our rates to our most dedicated, loyal and appreciated clients.  As a matter of course we go out of our way to schedule matters in a manner that is less costly to our clients, unlike other larger firms who do not think twice about such matters and just pass increased expenses on by adding them to bills to the client.  We are acutely aware that clients operate in the real world of business, and we run our firm in the same real world of business in which our clients operate.
