About Frank

Representing individuals with everyday legal needs for more than 30 years.

A graduate of Cornell University and the University at Buffalo Law School, I have been representing people with common legal problems since 1988.  I realize that every case is the most important case for the people involved, so I handle each case personally.  My goal is generally to get a fair resolution of the case for my client with a minimum of stress and expense.

Frank Ieraci review

Posted by

Excellent attorney, helped with interpreting legal (alimony-related) documents and gave sound advice.

Great consult

Posted by

I will be meeting with him soon for an appt and if all goes well, I am likely to hire him to handle my family court case. Frank was prompt with a response and made himself available on a weekend for an initial appt. He seems very knowledgeable and I look forward to meeting him in person soon.

Custody Advice

Posted by

Honest and very kind. He took his time to listen to what I had to say. He didn't have to speak bad about other lawyers in order to make himself look good! he was honest in every way and understanding!! I will keep posting here to inform everyone how great he is doing once I meet with him.

Excellent Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Advice in Buffalo, New York.

Posted by

I needed some intense advice on bankruptcy. Mr. Ieraci spent 1-hour with me. This was a free consultation. I already had an attorney but the help I was getting was minimal. Needless to say my current attorney never spent the time to visit me in person or to personally speak to me on the phone. Mr. Ieraci guided me in the right direction since my case was so complicated. I followed his advice and I am extremely happy with the outcome. I will not hesitate to contact Mr. Ieraci again. Thank you Mr. Ieraci for your interest in helping me.
Frank Ieraci's response: Please note that the prior attorney had notified the court and client that he was withdrawing from the case. I cannot give advice to people who already have an ongoing relationship with an attorney. I am nevertheless pleased that the client found my advice helpful.
