For clients ranging from publicly-traded U.S. based businesses to behemoth multinational Pacific rim corporations, to a Ph.D. who prosecuted her own patents while raising three infant daughters as a widowed mother, Fred has earned his clients substantially eight figures in verdicts, settlements and judgments.  These victories include: a jury victory with an eight-figure recovery against a nationally-recognized university; an eight-figure settlement after a one-week jury trial for a publicly-traded company; and, numerous seven-figure settlements and resolutions. 

With his undergraduate degree in engineering, Fred has the technical background to quickly learn and understand a broad range of disciplines covering a multitude of technologies. As reflected in his over 5,000 incident-free hours as a commercially rated pilot operating complex, systems-based aircraft in all types of conditions, Fred has the ability to focus, solve problems as they arise, and remain calm in the face of any kind of challenge.  Fred pairs his technical expertise with the ability to make complex topics comprehensible to non-technical audiences – including judges and juries – a strength honed through over 2,000 national television and radio appearances as a subject-matter expert over the last fifteen years.  Equally important, with a down-to-earth style rare among intellectual property lawyers, Fred has consistently proved his ability to build fact-finders’ trust, narrow the issues, deliver focused and persuasive arguments, and win the day for his clients.
