Excellent Employment Attorney and Wonderful Human Being

As I was struggling with a painful and untenable workplace situation, I reached out to Mr. Frank for legal advice. Mr. Frank took the time to understand my dilemma and did so with astute professionalism and compassion. He was able to take my concerns and figure out which laws were applicable, create ...and execute a clear action plan and helped me attain a resolution to my case. Problems like these can be challenging and overwhelming for so many reasons and Mr. Frank and his team handled each step with diligence and care and made me feel heard throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Mr. Frank and firm.

Highly Recommend

Matt represented me in my case, negotiating with a previous employer. He was able to reach a settlement outside of court, that I was very pleased with. Most importantly, for others to know who are seeking out help as I once was, I’d like to share what my experience was like working with Matt. Firs...t off, he was very professional yet easy to talk with. He’s the rare sort of person, who seems familiar to you yet you’ve never met. He seems to have a knack for lightening the air when you feel surrounded by chaos, yet still keeping the reality of the situation in check. In other words, he did a great job of helping me to balance my emotions during the course of time he represented me. One other point I feel is worth mentioning is, Matt was honest with me and reliable. If he said he’d call me on such a date or time, or send me a message, he did so. It was very clear to me that Matt knows what he is doing. He did an excellent job of explaining things, and always kept my best interests in focus. I don’t know what else to say, besides I’d highly recommend him to anyone needing help in the areas of law in which he practices.

Amazing Support!

Matt was beyond amazing to work with. His diligence and support through a difficult process made things simple and easy to understand. His advocacy for me and my case position went above and beyond. I'll always be incredibly grateful for his grasp of the law, but even more importantly, his kindness d...uring my work with him.

Honest, Realistic and Excellent Communication

I spoke with a few lawyers before finding Matt, his ability to understand my case and handle it with care blew me away.Matt exudes a type of confidence and kindness that are had to find and he was excellent at communicating with me every step of the way and he was a class act. His patience with my qu...estions and the case itself knew no bounds and he worked tirelessly for me. He was also a bulldog when I needed him to be. Matt went above and beyond my expectations and we were able to settle outside of court. I am immensely grateful to Matt for taking my case and making sure that myself and my family were taken care of. I am grateful for Matt and the outcome of my case.
