Posted by James and Nancy | July 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Great Service! Highly recommend Attorney Frank A. Wright, Jr.

Frank Wright has done our family’s legal work for years. He recently assisted us with estate planning and also helped with various real estate matters. I highly recommend his services, as he is very knowledgable and responsive. A lot of lawyers don’t return phone calls, but he will call you ba...ck. His staff is also pleasant, hardworking and very nice to work with.

Posted by Keith | August 09, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Excellent choice

Frank Wright has helped me out with several legal transactions and one legal issue. The legal issue, that Frank handled, was dropped and the cased was dismissed without ever having to go to court. He is extremely intelligent, honest, dependable, and quick to respond to questions. If you want a gre...at hardworking attorney Frank Wright should be your choice.

Great experience!

Frank represented me on a DUI matter that lasted almost two years due to continuations and appeals. Frank is a professional who is highly respected by the Court. I am thankful for his advice and wise counsel. I recommend him to anyone in need of legal guidance.

Excellent Service and Care - A Real Top-Notch Attorney!

If you ever need an attorney for a personal injury case, contact Frank Wright of Overby, Hawkins & Wright! Mr. Wright and his staff did an amazing job for my school aged son who was attacked by a dog, and suffered severe facial lacerations. The care and service that was provided was top-notch, and... I couldn't be happier with the settlement Mr. Wright was able to secure for my son. If we are ever in need of legal assistance again, a call to Frank Wright at Overby, Hawkins and Right will be the first call I make!

Honest and intelligent lawyer

When my wife and I were searching for personal injury lawyers, we were looking for a lawyer we could trust. We didn't want a lawyer that would be disreputable or unrealistic - we needed someone that we could rely on along the way in the process. Frank is the type of lawyer you want and that juries an...d judges respect, someone that is honest, straightforward and intelligent. There's a fine line between asking for too much in a case then not being taken seriously, and asking for too little than what your case is worth. Frank knows the balance in arriving at a fair, justified and realistic outcome. The nature of this particular case was a long process and all throughout Frank was always available and generous with his time to explain the nuances of the law. My wife and I really learned a lot through this process thanks to Frank. When it came to trial, it was obvious Frank knew the case inside and out - effectively communicating to the jury and truly representing my wife. At the beginning of the process we were unsure if we wanted to go the attorney route to settle - but in the end, thanks to Frank, we're glad we did.
