Knowledgeable and Quick to Respond.

Frank listened to what I had to say, and advised me of my rights and potential outcomes during every step of the process. He encouraged me to remain respectful of my ex, and did not at any time try to push me toward a costly drawn out litigation. He was quick to respond to any questions, and I felt... as if I was a participant in the process, not just sitting back letting a lawyer make decisions that I would have to live with. His attitude toward mediation and collaboration was very clear, and he approached the case in such a way as to help me see both sides of the situation. He is extremely knowledgeable on family law matters, and understands the emotional as well as financial and legal aspects of a divorce.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
