Outstanding results

I hired Frank to handle my divorce, and was very pleased with the results and the professionalism in which it was handled. I hired him again when my Ex tried to have the judgement changed/modified and he took care of my problems in a hurry, and her motion was denied. Frank is very professional and kn...ows his business. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Posted by anonymous | December 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Very compassionate

Frank was a great lawyer. He kept me involved and up to date on everything between him and my ex's attorney. My children's dad was not allowing me to see the kids although it was to be enforced through the Court order. Frank argued a great case and I am one again able to be with my children.

Parenting/support review

Mr. Briguglio is the attorney you hire when you need some one you can trust. I hired Frank to handle my case after I had already hired council who failed to represent my best interests. I am active duty military stationed 800 miles away from Michigan. Making the trips to FOC to represent myself was j...ust not possible due to military obligations. After the attorney I hired prior to Frank had dropped the ball everytime he represented me in court, I knew I needed the best lawyer possible. When I contacted Mr. Briguglio and discussed my case I knew I had to retain his services. I consulted my brother-in-law who is an attorney in Florida before I made the decision. When an out of state attorney tells you he's the best, you know he's well respected not only in his state but as far as Florida. Frank gave me realistic expectations, worst case scenarios, and resources to help. Frank isn't just an intelligent attorney, he is very compassionate. Many attorneys don't deal with military members on a daily basis as it relates to finances. Frank took it upon himself to research, and study every aspect of military pay so he was armed with the tools to keep the courts in check. His compassion is like this, when I was at my lowest point feeling beat down and wanting to give up, Frank went above and beyond to listen. Mr. Briguglio has two sides. First is his out of court side, were he is compassionate, honest, and trust worthy with a cool calm demeanor. The second side is in the court room. His behavior is assertive, meticulous, and intelligent. When he represents you there is no question he has prepared and anticipated every possible sceniero. I was unable to appear to our first couple hearings and never having met him it worried me a little. He could have accepted anything presented by the other party involved but he didn't. He fought for me as if I was sitting right next to him. When I finally met Frank for the first time and finally had the opportunity to witness him in action I was impressed. With Mr. Briguglio in your corner, there is no doubt you will be treated fairly by the courts. I can't thank Mr. Briguglio enough for what he has done for me. I can't say enough about not only his legal expertise but his character as well. Highly recommended! You won't find a better attorney to represent you in your family matters.

Posted by Brandon Keith Demiter | June 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Excellent attorney

My name is Brandon, and thanks to Frank L. Briguglio, my nightmare ended 1, June 2017. Three hundred and seventeen days before that, 17,July 2016 my life, my dream family, shattered into millions of pieces. That is the day my wife falsely accused me of domestic violence and had me arrested. While I w...as sitting in a cold cell, trying to comprehend what just happened, she took off with my son, and hid. Once I was released, with a PPO no less, I set about attempting to navigate the Michigan legal system, family courts, and fighting the stigma of being falsely accused of domestic violence. And struggling every day, not knowing where my son Christopher was. Was he safe, full tummy, did he know how much I love and adore him? The things that go through your head when your child is missing, is soul rending to say the least. After being through countless lawyers and zero results, my answers came across an advertisement on 101.1 The Wrif. While listening to one of the radio shows, Dave and Chuck the Freak, I heard about Adams Law Firm. I wasted no time getting my information, my story out to them, in the hopes that someone would be able to help me. Adams Law Firm fights for mens rights, and I soon found out, have excellent lawyers. I was connected to Frank on 26, October 2016, I explained everything to him. From my finding out the day my son was born that my wife has a CPS record, and lost all parental rights to her first child, to her manipulations within the family and her lies that had me thrown in jail, and the resulting PPO and not knowing where my son was. Frank navigated all the roadblocks she put in front of us. From getting the state of Michigan to lift the PPO, getting the divorce, and getting me sole physical custody of my son. After eleven months, three hundred and seventeen days of pure, unadulterated hell, Frank succeeded in getting me my son back. With the company of the Ecorse Police Department, on 1, June 2017, I got to hear my sons voice, yell excitedly, "Daddy!!" and hold him, and take him home safely, where he belongs. Where he will never be hurt again. And where my Ex-wife will never see him again. Or hurt us ever again. Frank L. Briguglio has a heart of gold, and is a very honest man, and the best attorney around. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially with a difficult case such as mine. May God Bless you Frank! and Adams Law Firm.

Excellent work

I hired Frank Briguglio to handle my divorce. He always kept me informed on the process through the use of e-mail, text, phone calls and even his personal cell number at times. Paperwork, court documentation and court appearances was never questioned. He got the results that were fair and accurate. I... would highly recommend him for any divorce proceedings.
