About Frank
Biography
Experience matters. Since 1992, Frank W. Piazza has been helping injured workers receive the benefits they deserve.
Mr. Piazza received his undergraduate degree in political science from the University of South Florida in 1987, followed by his law degree from the University of Florida in 1990. Since May of 1992, he has represented literally thousands of injured workers in Southwest Florida, and has handled all types of cases.
“My approach to representing people is perhaps different than others. I actually enjoy meeting with and getting to know each of my clients. In many instances, they become my friends. I am happy to answer their questions and explain each stage of their case with them. That’s my job. I want my clients to feel cared for. When you become a client, you become part of our family. That’s my approach. Old school? Perhaps, but sometimes there’s only one way to get the job done, the right way!”
Mr. Piazza’s professional memberships have included the Florida Workers’ Advocates, American Bar Association, American Trial Lawyers Association, Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers, Florida Academy of Professional Mediators, Association for Conflict Resolution, and the Orange, Lee and Collier County Bar Associations. He is triple-certified as a mediator by the Florida Supreme Court. He has lectured at educational conferences at the invitation of the Florida Bar Association.
Mr. Piazza resides in Naples with his wife of 33 years, Angela, and their two dogs, Ella and Annie. He is an active drummer, and frequently plays and records music with local musicians. He admits to being a car buff, and enjoys taking his car to the racetrack in Sebring from time to time to, “Blow off a little steam.”
