Posted by Haley | August 09, 2021 | Child Custody

Knowledgeable, patient, kind

I called with some questions regarding my current custody case and although I’m not his client, Frank spent 15 minutes on the phone with me discussing my case. He was up front and honest with me about what to expect and how to proceed with a difficult situation. Wish I would’ve retained him when I ha...d the chance!

Posted by anonymous | February 02, 2021 | Divorce & Separation

Hire this guy!

I called to ask for a second opinion regarding my divorce case. To my surprise, Frank answered the phone. He spent 25 min on the phone with me answering my questions as best he could without knowing my case entirely. He was honest, and up front that he could not give me a second opinion due to the fa...ct that he did not have all my documents to look over. What he did do was inform me enough to know that what I am being advised in my case, is probably the course to continue with. I was looking for a little advice to help me know that I am making the right decisions. What I got was more than that. If he spent this much time with a stranger that hasn't paid him, I can't imagine how much time he would take with a paying customer. If I am ever in Omaha and find myself needing a lawyer, I will be calling Frank again!

Posted by Bruce | December 28, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

I highly recommend Mr. Younes

I hired Mr. Younes to represent me, as I sought circumstances that might better serve my childrens' best interests in a child custody case. His extensive knowledge and poise provided me with great comfort in a very tumultuous time in my life. Francis is extremely careful and considerate, a patient an...d excellent listener, and a strong communicator. When there were things I didn't quite get, he was diligent in putting those things into terms I could understand easily. He walked me through this entire process with unparalleled transparency and candor. His advise was always linear, logical, fair and balanced, and kept me looking towards the bigger picture. Our case was settled on amicable terms that favor our children, and all things considered, I am very pleased with the outcome. Mr. Younes is worth every penny, and I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone looking to hire counsel for their child custody case.

Personal injury

I had a legal matter and someone referred me to Frank at High & Younes. From the first time I met Frank he has always went above and beyond to help me with everything. If I needed to speak to him and he wasn't available he would always return my phone call in a reasonable amount of time. Also, whe...never I had a question Frank has always been kind and courteous to me and made sure all my questions were answered. I never felt just like a client to him. I felt that he treated me like how he would treated one of his family family members. Thanks Frank! I will definitely refer you to everyone I know.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
