Thank you Frank !

I randomly called Frank in 2023 for a consultation. Did not hire him until 2025 when I realized it was not going to be an easy process being my only advocate with no legal experience. He not only corrected what I incorrectly completed. He saw the other attorney trying to bully and railroad me. A case... that had been going on for 2 years Frank got it major traction. It has been a long road and there are things that had come up that slowed down the process but Frank responded when I had questions whether it was about status or billing . He addressed every concern. He stayed on top of the other attorney to settle. At the end of it all truth came to light . I got everything I wanted and blessed to have Frank advocate for me to close out this case. Highly recommend!

Absolutely hire Frank when you need an attorney

Frank is a brilliant and extremely knowledgable attorney. He will explain everything you will need to know during every step of the legal process. Frank brought two things to the table that made all the difference in the world. His knowledge of family law is without question, and he can explain th...e process in basic terms that anyone can understand. Furthermore, Frank handled the legal process so precise that I could have peace of mind without all the worry and stress associated with any legal process. Frank helped me with an extremely delicate and difficult case, and if it wasn't for Frank, I am completely sure that I would not have done so well in court. Frank tried every which way to get my case settled out of court even with an extremely difficult respondent. The case had to go to trial. Frank completely surprised me in court. He is an extremely excellent trial lawyer that kept the trial on track and made all the difference. Frank helped me win multiple judgments. For anyone reading this review, before you decide to hire some other attorney, consult with Frank, give him a chance to explain what he will do for your case. I received the best representation that I could have asked for.
