Michael Frandina brings exceptional expertise in tribal law, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA), and complex contracting matters. His guidance has been instrumental in advancing the Confederated Tribes and Band...s of the Yakama Nation’s efforts to secure cleanups that protect human health, the environment, and culturally significant resources. He has also aided us in advancing approaches that support meaningful resource recovery across the Pacific Northwest, making him a trusted and highly valued partner in this work.

I’m ignorant of how things should work in the legal world and I felt Michael told me the truth. I believe it was the truth because some of it wasn’t very positive to my case. When I interviewed other attorneys, they didn’t have a single bad thing to say and just that I had a great case. Cost ...wise, I don’t think anyone likes paying for an expense like this but the final bill was reasonable. When moments were time sensitive, he called me at night or weekends and I always felt like he was my legal champion. Finally, I feel like I won.

Michael Frandina represented us in a matter involving potential litigation. In all of our dealings with Michael we found him to be very knowledgeable about specific law pertaining to our situation and throughout the negotiations he kept us well informed and was very good at explaining our options. Th...e final outcome was a satisfactory settlement without having to resort to litigation which we attribute to Michael being a strong advocate for his clients and an extremely effective negotiator. Michael provided us with high quality and very cost effective representation and we would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Michael M. Frandina, Esq. of the Askman Law Firm is a great lawyer in Denver. I recommend him wholeheartedly. As a practicing New York attorney I was seeking to find and retain a good lawyer in Denver, Colorado. I found a great lawyer in Michael Frandina through a Google Search on AVVO for a l...egal research project involving old state and federal archival records in the Denver Courts from over 100 years ago (circa 1916). He replied to my inquiry quickly, we discussed the project and I sent him copies of the meager yet intriguing baseline detail I had available involving alleged securities fraud and embezzlement case pre-SEC involving a large family brokerage firm with offices in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. He immediately and fully understood the purpose and scope of the project and tasks required. Michael produced and delivered clear copies of the legal records that we only hoped could be found after 100 years. Michael found them. He regularly reported his progress and was always available to discuss the next steps. Billing was fair, detailed and very reasonable. His work was thorough and performed in a highly professional manner. Highly recommended

I had the displeasure of being named as a Defendant in a lawsuit against a former business partner. While I had no personal or professional liability, once named, I was forced to defend myself. I hired Michael Frandina as my attorney. This litigation went on for 4 years. The Plaintiff sought delay af...ter delay in an effort to force a settlement. When we finally got to trial, Mr. Frandina was well prepared. He was in command of the facts and was able to represent me well in the courtroom. His respectful courtroom etiquette pleased the judge and was a harsh contrast to the sloppy and dis-organized plaintiff counsel. After three days of trial, it was obvious to the court that Mr. Frandina had a reasonable answer to every accusation and the Plaintiff and his counsel could not support their accusations with evidence. On the fourth day, Plaintiff threw in the towel and accepted a settlement of zero and a dismissal of the case with prejudice. While I did not enjoy being sued, paying legal fees for 4 years, or being on trial, I did enjoy being represented by Mr. Frandina. He did a commendable job comprehending a complex case and was perfectly prepared for trial. He was cool, calm and respectful in the courtroom. The judge was pleased with his conduct. I highly recommend Mr. Frandina should you be unfortunate enough to require counsel to represent you.
