Jay Allan Frank

I was referred to Jay Frank by a dear high school girlfriend who had been through an excruciating, complex, divorce involving a spouse who was hiding his money from his businesses to evade paying my friend what was owed to her. Jay Frank was one of the last attorneys hired by my friend, and in the f...inal hour, he actually was able to turn the tables for his client, my friend, and ended up getting my friend money that she never expected to get in her final settlement. My divorce was much less complex but nonetheless excruciating for me, as this was a divorce that I did not want nor foresee at the age of 61, facing two total hip arthroplasty surgeries, and the last chapter of my life, alone. My ex-spouse also left behind his two stepsons, and although they were young men in their twenties, they felt abandoned, disappointed and angry. This was the second divorce they had been through, the first divorce from their father when they were only ages three and six. Their father had been abusive with me so with a subsequent Order of Protection against him, and counseling that was not effective for our marriage, I felt compelled to be the one to file for divorce for the sake of my mental health and that of my sons. Jay Frank was the second attorney I hired as the first attorney seemingly went through my retainer fee of $5K in a few months with very little legal work executed. When Jay consulted with me for the first time, he did not charge me, and actually took the time to help me sift through the final bill of my first attorney to help me discern which charges were unnecessary. Despite the fact that my divorce was, more or less, a straightforward divorce with no complex business issues or custody issues, this divorce took about four years to be finalized. One of the reasons for this delay is that I did not want to deal with this divorce while having my two aforementioned surgeries and throughout the process of the selling of our marital house. Another reason was the global pandemic. The world was suspended with fear, anxiety and uncertainty, and my ex-spouse and I, like most of the world, were caught up in this energy. The third reason for the delay was procrastination, mainly on my part. I did not want to let go. Jay Frank and his colleague, Staci Balbirer, showed immense empathy and unending patience with this delay. And last but not least, Jay Frank was able to steer me in the direction to peacefully settle my case with a final agreement very much in my favor. Thank you Jay Frank for all that you have done for me. Greatly appreciated!

I used Mr. Frank during my initial divorce proceedings 12 years ago. I had no doubt about re-engaging him when post decree issues landed me back in court. He had the knowledge from my original case that helped provide the framework for resolution. He worked tirelessly to negotiate and resolve the iss...ues at hand. If you find yourself in this unfortunate and difficult situation, I highly recommend Mr. Frank for his attention to detail and care that he provides to you as his client to make sure your concerns are being heard and addressed.

Mr. Jay Frank and his team did an outstanding job on my difficult divorce. He was my third attorney ( the first two did set the ground work, but it became obvious the first 2 had ulterior motives ). To my fortune, my Valuation and Forensic advisor highly recommended Mr. Jay Frank, as she had se...en his professional and ethical manner as well his great knowledge of the law many times in the courtroom . As she said " he will get the job done RIGHT!" Jay and his team were very successful in attaining a desirable outcome to me in the estate division and in my alimony. I would and I have highly recommended Mr. Jay Frank !!!

I am so grateful for Jay's expertise, compassion and sincerity through my divorce process. During that difficult time, Jay provided sound guidance, thoughtful regard and was always looking out for my best interest. He never minimized the personal and emotional nature of my divorce and provided sound... legal advice, so I could make informed decisions. He was so respectful, took the time to educate me about process, and openly shared all my options, so to not assume what I wanted. He was always available to provide reassurance in the process and he was an incredible asset, especially since my case had aspects that were complex. I can’t say enough how he made this legal process tolerable. I respect him so, and I am so grateful to have had his level of expertise and care during that very challenging time.
