Very good outcome
I was beside myself and didn't know which way to turn when I first called Frank about my worker's comp case. Frank guided me through the process to a very successful conclusion! I couldn't be happier!

Thorough and forward thinking
As a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor I work with attorney Talbott and his client's I have frequently seen the benefit of his close review of statutes and rules. He has a clear sense of how legal wording can impact each case in unique ways. On a few occasions I have seen this review illiuminate special considerations that would likely have been missed by less detail -oriented professionals. He takes the time to consider all aspects of a case and to coordinate the multiple facets. I have observed attorney Talbott taking the time to orient and educate his clients about the law and the particular strategy being recommended. Even when reviewing complicated situations I see Attorney Talbott treating his clients with respect and dignity. He works hard, provides clear communications and is determined in his effort to pursue the case to conclusion. If I needed legal representation Attorney Talbott would be at the top of my attorney list.
