Trumpets

I worked my way through college and law school in automotive factories, gas stations, and automotive service centers. Having acquired an interest in old cars, and the ability to service them, I continue to drive classic cars. I look forward to driving one of these American classics to serve your professional needs.

"Tom always achieves our corporate objectives. He negotiated 5 labor agreements on behalf of the C. J. Link Lumber Company, Warren Michigan, with the Teamsters, and has served us as our labor and employment attorney with excellence since 1987. Tom has negotiated a wage freeze, health care cost savings, two-tier compensation plans, and a flexible temporary employment program for us which make Link Lumber a super competitive employer and business."
- Richard Mergel, President, C. J. Link Lumber Company.

"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."

"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.
