"I have known David for almost 40 years and I can say unequivocally that he possesses the highest degree of intelligence, expertise, temperament and professionalism. After retiring from the State after more than 20 years handling major felony cases in Broward County, he has taken his talents handling criminal defense and civil rights cases in both State and Federal Courts throughout Florida. I would highly recommend David without hesitation."
"I have known Mr. Frankel from the courtroom for over twenty years. I've been practicing criminal law in South Florida since 1988. I've gone up against him as a prosecutor and I've seen his work as a defense lawyer. He is a brilliant trial lawyer, a true champion for his clients and is highly respected by judges and other attorneys."
"David is a brilliant trial attorney who fights for his client's rights both in criminal and civil court. David is a true lawyer's lawyer!"
