Appeals Attorney | Apr 09
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Franklin is the type of attorney that helps his colleagues understand the issues and how to argue around them. He's the one others go to. He knows the effects language and impressions have on each case he handles. I would not want any other appellate attorney on my side. I fully endorse him."

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I first met Franklin at a Trial Lawyers College seminar in Chicago in 2012, and I found him to be a very personable, knowledgeable and caring lawyer. Since then, I have seen that Franklin gets good results for his clients and works diligently to get them the best result. Anyone would be fortunate to have him as their defense attorney. I highly recommend him."
