Mr. Raso was personable and knowledgeable from the start, with a wealth of experience to help him lay out the process for me and set me at ease. He listens well and gives helpful feedback. He calmed my initial nervousness while presenting an accurate picture of the possible outcomes. He has an exc...ellent legal IQ for the traffic issues he specializes in.

Knowledgeable, Smart, Humble, Helpful & Gets Results

We hired Frank to assist with a DWI violation. This was a very scary situation for our family and we did not know what to do. Frank was very kind and patient; first putting our mind at ease as he explained his experience with cases like ours, then moved forward to explain the process, the options ava...ilable to us, the best possible outcome along with the worst possible outcome. After that, we discussed a strategy for the best possible outcome. We sincerely appreciated the education provided as it helped us to set our expectations. Frank succeeded to work on our case and achieved the best possible outcome. For those reading my review, I completely understand the feeling of uncertainly when looking for someone to represent you. It can be very difficult to determine a "Good" lawyer from a "So-So" lawyer. Frank is not only a "good" lawyer, I would say he is among the "BEST" in his profession. As the case is now behind us, we hope that we will not need a lawyer on a matter like this again, but if we do, Frank is on speed-dial.

Honest, Sharp, Efficient

Frank was great, helped me understand the scope of my case, what the possible outcomes were and treated me like I was his only client. As much as I liked working with him I promised Id try my best not to need his services any time soon. thanks again Frank!

Best attorneys get the best results

Over 6 months ago Frank took on my headache of a case which was 3 warrants that were 9 years old. After giving Frank the information he needed and trusting his better judgement, all 3 warrants and all charges were dismissed!! After 9 years !!! I didn’t even know I had these warrants until last ye...ar. He handled it brilliantly with the judge and I can’t even believe it was that easy. Let’s face it the system is ugly so be smart and hire an attorney who treats you like Family and will do his absolute best. Common sense goes along way. Even after I questioned Frank several times on strategy’s he still stuck it out with me. A true gentleman ! In the end I’m a free man with no worries. Thank you Frank and your office for the supreme job. I will be sending you Wedding invitations one day ! Extremely grateful - John Cosares

Celebrating the end of a chapter and closing the book on a past life!

I am so thankful and relieved that after nearly 4 years we settled my court case and I can continue moving forward with my life. I'm infinitely grateful for my attorney, Frank Raso, who believed in me from the moment he took my case and never stopped fighting for me, even when I wanted to throw in t...he towel. Frank is a not just a compassionate human being but a true champion for women: He made sure that my voice was heard and that justice was served. The justice system could use a lot more lawyers like Frank Raso.
