BEWARE!!!!!

Frank is all bark and no bite. His family law legal skills are akin to a 16 year old. I’m surprised he’s lasted this long is the field of practice but then again divorce lawyers are bottom feeders at best. He’s embarrassing in court. Wrinkled suit, unprepared, and all around disheveled. Paying him $5...00/hour is a complete waste of time and resources. The only money I’d pay him is a donation for a dry cleaners and a haircut. He promises you the world, soaks you dry financially, and then you become obsolete to him. A true shame to the profession.

Tiger in office mouse in court

Tiger on paper mouse in court. Appeared to be intimidated by both judge and plaintiffs attorney . He said very little to show why plaintiffs claim had no legs and that plaintiff was lying to the court.

Would not recommend

Franks wife works for DCPP, if your case involves them, I would recommend you go elsewhere as his judgement is most likely skewed and not invested in the family’s best interest.

Replied last August 18, 2023

I do not know this individual. And if they only consulted with me, how would that know what I would do? What I do do for my clients is prepare their case tirelessly, address their concerns empathetically, and advocate their positions aggressively. I don't make promises I can't deliver on.

We have had more than a couple of cases together over the years and whether ally or foe, Mr. Tournour has always been competent, zealous, tough, courteous, and reasonable, and a pleasure to work with even though we deal with clients who are experiencing highly difficult and emotional times in their life. I wish all my adversaries were like Mr. Tournour. An adversary and friend."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
