Jonathan Charles Harper Frank

This attorney took thousands of dollars from our family, made promise after promise, and completely failed to deliver. He assured us he was going to fight for my husband, push for bond, and take the case to trial .. only to file a motion to withdraw right before trial after already being paid. Com...munication was absolutely terrible. He rarely answered calls, ignored messages, kept us in the dark, and showed little to no urgency about a man’s life and future being on the line. We trusted him during one of the most difficult situations our family has ever faced, and instead of receiving support and strong representation, we were met with excuses, broken promises, and abandonment. In my opinion, this attorney cares more about collecting money than actually fighting for his clients. Once payment was made, the professionalism and effort disappeared. We feel misled, taken advantage of, and extremely disappointed by the way this case was handled. If you are hiring an attorney for a serious federal case or any case at all especially one involving your loved one’s freedom, please think twice before retaining him. Our experience was heartbreaking and unacceptable. I would never recommend him to anyone. Worst attorney in the world

DO NOT HIRE! I contacted Jonathan Frank about hiring him to possibly expunge or seal a record, or maybe even get it overturned. He gave me a very decent price and because I knew him personally I sent him money via Zelle. Once I finally met him at his office he googled and realized he could not (yes g...oogled, he literally googled everything I asked about that he couldn’t answer). He offered to write me a letter to help with my current position and also another lawyer stepped in and told him he could approach the judge about another option. He said he would approach the judge and keep my money as payment towards the balance to hire if the judge approach works out and I wanted to proceed with hiring him. He never approached the judge or filed anything on my behalf. He did take a few minutes to ask the prosecutor for her advice on the matter while he was at court for someone else and that was that. I text/called multiple times regarding the matter and whether or not to proceed, and he avoided my texts/calls until I asked about my money being refunded. He basically lied about what the money was for (I have what it was for in text and recorded) and never refunded my money that was initially to expunge/seal my record or go towards a balance to hire to overturn if the talk with the judge was successful. He kept it instead for the offer he made to write a letter for me and the offer to approach the judge to see if we can do anything about my case at all and for paperwork he never filed. Totally stealing my money. He’s immoral, unethical and on top of being a liar, he’s a thief! I should’ve known better when I hired him before this for warrants and tickets I had. I sent him money for non-arrest bonds to have the warrants lifted, get new court dates and represent me in court. He told me the warrants were lifted had me meet him at court. I get there and he’s a no show. Then I find out it’s a freaking open court. I get in front of the judge who then tells me there’s no attorney listed for representation for me and all my warrants are still open and I could possibly be arrested. I’m losing it on the inside and out at this point. I ended up handling everything ON MY OWN without everything I paid him for. I took pics of the documents stating my warrants were still open and texted him furiously demanding a refund. I think the reason I was dumb enough to reach out to him again is bc he refunded my money that time and bc I knew him (or at least I thought I did). So bottom line, I can’t speak on experience or the professionalism of the other attorneys, but avoid this thieving dullard at all costs. I’m currently in the process of filing legal complaints.
