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.

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.

Matt Frank is a hero.

Conveying the level of respect and gratitude I have for Matt Frank simply cannot be done in the form of a website review. Matt worked tirelessly to understand every aspect of my case. Like Batman uses the Batmobile to extinguish villains, Matt wields the Law as his vehicle to combat wrongdoing. He i...s kind, has a great sense of humor, and he was put on this earth to protect those who need protecting. In every proceeding it was apparent that Matt had a better, more thorough understanding of the law, than anyone else in the room. Matt was able to achieve our desired outcome and did so with a combination of both class and confidence that made me proud to be represented by him. There is no shortage of lawyers out there, Matt is a practitioner of the law, an idea that I couldn’t comprehend until I was able to experience his work first hand while observing the work of his opposition. Long after our proceedings had concluded an attorney that knows Matt told me “Matt knows the law better than I know the rules of checkers.” If you’re seeking representation Matt Frank should be your first and only call.

I can't imagine working with anyone else

Matt was professional, charismatic and relatable (read: immensely easy to work with), and so incredibly patient and kind. He ensured I felt 'in the loop' and comfortable with every step and transition in the process, he advocated for me ferociously, and he provided me with constant education and guid...ance, yet also the utmost agency in directing the case where I wanted it to go. I don't envision my case reaching anywhere near the caliber of success we accomplished had I not hired Matt and his team to stand beside me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for assistance in employment law cases.
