Seminars

Professional and management training seminars are workshops designed to enhance audience participation and business success. Multi-media presentations combined with hard copy training material, and done in a flexible style to immediately respond to business questions- and geared to obtain results. These seminars are practical, results-oriented, and dedicated to placing the tools of success in the hands of busy business leaders. My goal is to keep your business out of court, in compliance with administrative rules, informed of the latest cases, and problem solving techniques. My seminars are based on over 10 years of business college and law school teaching experience- and are not lectures.

Testimonials

"Tom has effectively served many clients as chief spokesperson during labor negotiations with the Teamsters, UAW, SEIU, UAW, and unions; reaching voluntary agreements without strikes or lockouts. He has both public and private sector experience, and I have often called upon Tom to be a guest lecturer for my Labor Relations and Labor Law courses. I recommend Tom to employers as an effective labor and employment attorney."
- James W. Statham, Federal Mediator, FMCS, U.S. Department of Labor.

"After getting no support for my 5 children from my ex in years, Tom got the Friend of the Court to put my ex in jail within 5 days, and I got a check within one week."
- Alicia C., Williamston, Mi.

"The reputation of both of my tire stores in our community is critical to our success. When I had to deal with a problem employee and protect the reputation of both stores, I called the employer's attorney- Tom Fredericks. His extensive professional knowledge and excellent presentation skills were super effective. Within minutes, the problem employee saw the light, chose to resign, and is on good terms with me- but as a former employee.

Tom has provided me with up to date policies and forms to best protect and manage my business. Tom kept me out of court and in business- doing what I do best- serving our customers and selling tires! I strongly recommend Tom to you."

Thanks, Tom.
