Frank E Stanley

In June, 2016, it will have been 3 years since my sister and I sat in Attorney Stanley's office to discuss my brother's case. At that time, we were filled with so much hope because we thought he would be able to help him. During this time span, we paid him thousands and thousands of dollars and he ...visited my brother in prison; traveled to the jurisdiction to review evidence held by police; filed a motion in the jurisdiction that was denied and he filed an appeal application that was denied. Based upon communication with his office, whether it be via phone or email, I poked, prodded and begged for status on his case, for anything positive and I feel the best we got from him were a bunch of lame excuses for the compound delays. I realize that he deals with a lot of criminals, ones that have money, and maybe they don't deserve the same respect that say a divorce lawyer would give his/her client. Or maybe my brother's case wasn't high profile enough for Attorney Stanley to put his "all" into. Due to the nature of my brother's crime, I feel getting justice for him would not make a positive addition to his "successful cases" outlined on his website. When we first met with him, he claimed to be a christian and with that proclamation common courtesy and respect of your client should be first and foremost. Screening and not taking my brother's calls (incoming from prison) defeated him. Does he take on too many cases? Does he work harder on the ones that have more merit and lets the not so great cases fall to the wayside? He has a right hand man/attorney in his office, "Tom", the guy who does all the research and puts the pleadings together. Tom is referred to a lot, but when Attorney Stanley's is out of the office they refuse to give you his last name and said "he doesn't talk with clients". Rebecca, his secretary, spoke condescending to me multiple times and would only give me, what I consider, lame excuses as opposed to status on the case. So I have to say, what good is Frank Stanley if he takes almost 3 years to achieve nothing? The answer to that question and to the whole experience is "NO GOOD".
