Frank is a superior trial attorney with special expertise in workers' compensation matters. Frank's career began on the insurance adjusting side, giving him a unique ability not only to empathize with injured parties, but to understand the goals and strategies of those defending insurance companies. For this reason he is highly respected by both sides of the docket and a sound choice to represent you after a serious injury.
