The worst ambulance chaser on earth

In my opinion, This is the absolute worst ambulance chaser on God’s green earth. I paid this piece of garbage to “defend” me and he did nothing of the sort. He screamed at me when I questioned him about my case and I had to pay another attorney to speak with him for me because of his unprofessional... attitude. This man is a disgrace to the law, he only has his job because of his mommy and daddy judges.

Frank is Wonderful!!

When I called Frank we had very little money and a huge case against us. Frank accecpted a very modest retainer and worked diligently on our case. He always kept us informed and never over charged us...as a matter of fact it seemed as if he did not charge us enough for all of the work that he did. ... I have since referred him to all of our family and friends

Unprofessional

A most unfortunate referral. This lawyer was unknowledgeable and seemed inexperienced. He refused to answer questions about his qualifications. When I repeatedly asked about his qualifications, he did not answer the questions and instead asked what other attorneys I had consulted with, which is an... irrelevant question. He finally said he had worked as a state attorney for 5 years, and that if I did my research I would know his experience. Unnecessary statement. He felt compelled to add I have more than enough cases, and his general tone of voice was unprofessional and unmotivated. Overall, he seemed unskilled and lacking proper communication skills.
