Highly Recommend

We (Tersus Solutions) have worked with Michael Frandina at Askman Law Firm for over 3 years now and couldn't be happier with the work product or the relationship. Michael is a diligent, practical, and responsive lawyer and has been able to provide us counsel across multiple dimensions of our business.... Our whole leadership team leans on him for various legal issues and we all think highly of him. I would strongly recommend this firm to anyone in the Denver area looking for a dynamic and fairly priced law firm.

Employer owed me past wages

My out of state employer declared bankruptcy and I was suddenly out of a job with many months of wages still owed to me. Michael discussed all of my options with me and helped me through the process of gathering information, signing papers, etc. Throughout the entire process I never had any doubts ...that Michael couldn't do this as well as anyone else. He was very responsive whenever I needed anything or had any questions, and was completely professional while still being friendly. I fully recommend Michael Frandina.

Wonderful attorney - wonderful outcome

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.

Responsive, helpful and smart

I engaged Michael for a short time to prepare for litigation against a service provider. Michael analyzed my case needs and gave me a strong proposal promptly. Mike was easy to work with, competent and supportive. Considering I am located outside the USA and not even American I was very grateful for ...his attention, service and care. I highly recommend him.
