From another client of Basie & Fritz:
I am an unfortunate current client of Basie & Fritz. God help me…When I first met Jeff for a consultation, he boasted that he could get my divorce done quickly in a matter of a few months, it is now more than 1 ½ years later and I have spent over $50K with few hard results. Jeff is immature, and completely full of himself. He and his office has made numerous, serious mistakes that have resulted in a large amount of duplication, time, and money for me. The amount of paperwork they have generated has even made the Judge pause and complain. I am so sorry that I ever got involved with his firm.
I wish there were more real information on attorneys out there so that we can try to make a good selection when we need one. I wish I had taken your suggestion to consult with him, and then find a better attorney.
If it stops just one person from hiring him, it is worth it.

Warning: As May 17, 2007 - Tired of people hiring Fritz who then complain to us about his sleazy, dishonest tactics; we suggest anyone contemplating hiring this guy should first check out all the lawsuits against his firm.

Remember: We didn't hire Jeff Fritz, you did. As such, please stop writing to us for help as we are of the opinion Fritz attracts the very kind of client who are comfortable with sleazy, dishonest tactics.

To others: We recommend challenging Judges who tolerate Fritz's dishonesty. These include but are not limited to: Bostwick, Clements, (a commissioner) Howatt, and Lewis.

Perhaps the funniest attorney, although he doesn't mean to be, is Jeff Fritz.

(On a lighter note; Fritz used to drive a Red, Trans Am. Who over 25 doesn't know what men are compensating for, when they drive a red sports car after a certain age?)

Below is a typical letter from one of his Former, clients.

May 2, 2005

Good Afternoon,
I read your website article regarding Basie & Fritz.
If I had only read or knew this information before I retained them; I have never seen or heard of a law firm that can drag out and run up ridiculous, out-of-control billing of charges in all of my life. Over $10,000 for a simple uncontested divorce in which I drafted and revised the Marriage Settlement Agreement myself.
I will never refer that money sucking lawfirm to anyone.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Although the oily Robert Basie, kindly dropped dead in 2003, perhaps alone in a motel room; the firm lives on, duping the angry into parting with their finances. Unfortunately, the firm doesn't pony up to their obligations.

Check local records for reams of small claims (as well as at the Superior Court level) filed by former clients as well as those employed by Basie and Fritz, ranging from Knox Attorney Service, Legal Reprographics, Planatrk Ventures to Howard A. Godwin & Associates.
