Great family law attorney!

Mari Frank was incredibly supportive in a difficult time. She knows that law and acts very professionally. She is kind and fair to both parties. She taught me a lot to stand up for myself such as "I'm not comfortable with that." or "Let me think about it." I consider her as a lifelong friend and I... am very grateful to have known her. I highly recommend her and her services!

Mari was extremely positive and thorough

Mari was highly recommended to us by my moms divorce lawyer. She was kind and extremely thorough every step of the way. I mostly appreciate her explaining the process as this was a painful experience and Mari made it as positive as possible! Thank you Mari!

The Privacy Expert

Mari J. Frank is a superb lawyer/mediator who is extremely insightful, strategic and highly knowledgeable in her expertise – Identity Theft and Fraud. Mari is an amazing woman to work with she has great judgement and integrity in all matters regarding ID Theft and Fraud. Mari works kindly and fairly ...with other counsel in order to achieve the best results for her clients. Mari’s approach to finding a solution in order to avoid illiberal behavior that can interfere in achieving the preeminent solutions and strategies for ensuring her client’s identity to be restored. Nobody has greater depth, experience, knowledge and practical wisdom than Mari J. Frank. Technically an expert in Identify Theft, Mari is very eager to settle and mediate cases and has a heart of gold only wanting what is best for her clients’. Mari J. Frank is the most honest, genuine and straight forward attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She saved my identity, while teaching me how to protect myself in the future from the broad scope of ID theft and any type of fraud. I have had the pleasure of working with Mari as my legal counsel for the last nine months and I have never trusted or felt so taken care of until I met Mari J. Frank. Mari’s approach to handling cases (Mine for example) is something I’ve never experienced before while working with other counsel. She is a go getter, a straight shooter, and is one of the respectable bright minds in this industry. I would recommend Mari J. Frank to anyone who has had any sort of fraud acts done upon them. She carries herself with such grace that when she walks in a room you can’t help but know you’re in good hands. In regards to my situations, Mari has saved my life. She’s given me my identify back which included a fresh start, justice to those who violated the law at my exposure and is someone who I can always reach out to and know I’m getting the best advice. I can’t articulate in words any further how much Mari J. Frank has done for me personally and how great she is at what she what she does, but all I can say is if you want the best counsel by your side, Mari is hands down the woman for the job. All in all, I have been thankful since the day I met Mari. She is one of a kind and no one can do her job or has the type of knowledge required to handle such serious matters that affect millions on a daily basis. If there were more than five stars to give someone I’d give them all to Mari.

Top Notch Divorce Mediator!

Last year and into the first half of this year, my ex husband and I had Mari mediate our divorce. I found Mari to be consistently professional, knowledgeable, and helpful from the initial 3-way call to the final financial paperwork. She was easy to reach when a question came up, quick to respond to e...mail and phone calls, and compassionate towards us as individuals. I highly recommend Mari for divorce mediation if you can afford her. You won't be sorry you choose her. She's the best!

Divorce through mediatiton

My husband and I were married almost 38 years. We did not want this to be a knocked down drag out fight for either us or the family. We turned to Mediation. Mari Frank came highly recommended. We instantly liked her. She was fair knew her job and was unbiased. She was kind and supportive to bot...h of us even when we were very unlikeable. She stuck with us. She was very professional. Thank you Mari, Linda
