Mr. Fristensky’s practice is built on the idea of principled advocacy. While he will fight to protect your legal entitlements and ensure your obligations are balanced, his role is to navigate the legal system with integrity. If your primary goal is to use an attorney to "punish" your spouse, then Mr. Fristensky is not the right attorney for you. He is here to secure your future and enforce the law, not to facilitate a vendetta. His motto is “more bees with honey” which is often at odds with the typical adversarial approach practiced by other attorneys.
