Client Reviews
Sylvia B.
“I needed assistance in gaining eligibility for my son to continue to be able to play varsity sports, after we had relocated. The process was confusing and scary, my son (a Junior) was devastated as he was being told he would not have eligibility and that is when I contacted Frieser Legal. Josh was a professional from the moment I spoke to him on the phone. He took the time to listen to everything I had to say. Josh responded in real time and made sure to answer any questions throughout this stressful situation. I’m grateful for the work Josh did for us. I would absolutely recommend him for any of your sports concerns you may have. If I had to do this all over again, there is no one else I would go to. My son is now eligible and excited to start the 2024 Track & Field season. Thank you Josh for everything you have done!!!”
