About Frank
Biography
I became a criminal defense attorney because I am intimately familiar with how precious our constitutional rights are. After my arrest years ago, I realized how close I was to being in a situation that could have negatively impacted my life forever. That situation made me realize how important it is to have someone on your side who feels strongly about protecting those rights.
In the Air Force, I put my life on the line to support and defend the Constitution during war. Today, I support and defend the Constitution in the courtroom. My legal career began by representing indigent clients. I saw first-hand how important it is for everyone to have legal representation. This is why I make every effort to make my services available to as many people as possible.

Great Attorney
Frank went to the same NHSTA DRE course that I attended in Atlanta. He proved himself very knowledgeable and asked great questions of the instructors. I would highly recommend him to any one who gets in trouble in Oklahoma.
