Fred Hoysradt is a Senior Associate Attorney at MacDonald Law, PC, licensed to practice in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire since 2014. He brings a rare combination of legal skill and real-world experience to his practice, having retired from a distinguished career in law enforcement where he served as a Captain and regional SWAT team commander. That background shapes the way Fred approaches his work today with calm focus, sound judgment, and the ability to navigate even the most high-pressure situations with confidence.
Fred has extensive courtroom experience and is particularly adept at handling family and domestic matters. He understands that these cases are often deeply personal and emotionally charged, and he takes pride in guiding clients through them with both strength and compassion. Known for his thoughtful, straightforward approach, Fred takes the time to truly understand each client's situation, carefully analyze the facts, and build a strategy focused on protecting their rights and helping them move forward.
In addition to his family law work, Fred represents clients in criminal matters, including DUI and other motor vehicle and traffic related charges. His years in law enforcement give him a unique perspective that few attorneys can offer. His years of law enforcement experience give him an understanding of police procedures, roadside investigations, and the decision-making process behind an arrest. He uses that knowledge to carefully evaluate every detail of a case, identify potential weaknesses, and advocate effectively for his clients, always with a focus on achieving the best possible outcome.
Outside of his legal work, Fred enjoys a variety of outdoor activities, hunting, fishing, and boating whenever he can. He has a deep connection to the New Hampshire and Massachusetts seacoast, where he enjoys clamming and lobster fishing, carrying on traditions that keep him close to the water and the community he calls home. He is happiest with his wife, his stepson, and their dogs, whether out on the water or relaxing at home. His strong commitment to family and community is at the heart of who he is, and it's a value he carries into every client relationship.
