Church Business Administrator review of Frank Sommerville, JD, CPA

We have worked with Mr. Sommerville for over 2 years as legal advisor on many of the tax peculiarities of a not for profit organization. His experience, integrity and knowledge of not for profit law make him an excellent advisor. His experience which includes representing not for profits in the court... room allows him to take his knowledge and explain it in a manner applicable to the not for profit business manager.

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.
