Highly recommended...

Will Frankfurt is one of the nicest, most genuine people you will ever meet. I was referred to him by an acquaintance when I found myself in a criminal matter that would change my life. I knew from the minute I met Will that I wanted his representation on my behalf. I was originally sentenced to te...n years in the Department of Corrections. I truly believe his representation was instrumental in the Judge's decision to grant me reconsideration approximately 60 days from my entrance into the DOC system. I ended up serving approximately 60 very long days and nights in the women's facility in Denver. He visited me on more than one occasion to keep me informed of the status of my case. I ended up leaving DOC and being put on probation for 12 years and restitution to pay but I am free and with my family. I would currently be three years into my original 10-year sentence without Will's guidance and representation. He truly helped me in many ways beyond just lawyering - he helped me accept and realize that I am not my crime and I can still make a meaningful contribute to society. I simply would not be where I am today without him. Will was so supportive and encouraging throughout my ordeal and I have the utmost respect for him. I would not hesitate to recommend Will Frankfurt to anyone needing criminal defense expertise.

Will is a great attorney!!! Caring, understanding and helpful!!

No regrets at all hiring Will to help me through a trying and difficult situation. What could have turned out to be a much more stressful and criminally severe situation was completely avoided thanks to Will being able to help and negotiate a situation to a reasonable outcome. When people are going t...hrough trying situations it can be very tough to open up and get legal help. Will completely made me feel at ease through the entire process and I really felt he understood my case. I would recommend hiring Will if you need a top notch criminal attorney!

Very caring and trustworthy

I hired Will for a criminal case of mine and I were very pleased with him. His courtroom demeanor and rapport that with the Judges and District Attorneys is great. He's aggressive yet mindful and that is important in this type of practice. Without Will, I'm not sure the outcome would have been as ...good. I feel fortunate that I found him and was able to retain him. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Will Frankfurt

Will is a wonderful lawyer. I refer many of my criminal cases to him because he is very responsive (even on the weekends and after norma business hours), he is reliable, always keeps the client informed, is extremely knowledgable, has an amazing staff of associate lawyers who can assist when needed, ...knows the Judges and proescutors and is well respected by them (I met him when I was a DA and he stood out among thousands of defense attorneys I interacted with), and he is compassionate and passionate about his work. You cannot go wrong with Will and his team.

Very Helpful!

I found myself being charged with some unexpected, yet serious charges, and knew I needed skilled and experienced legal advice and counseling immediately. Fortunately I was recommended to seek out Will Frankfurt, and throughout the entire legal process he guided me through the maze of courtroom proce...dures and the trial itself, with amazing results! His knowledge, preparation and skills in the courtroom were unquestionably at the highest professional level. And the results of every motion, challenge, objection, use of precedents, and eventual outcome of the case was impressive. I would recommend Will and his firm to anyone in need of professional legal assistance, as the outcome of any criminal charges could have a permanent negative impact on one's livelihood and life. I again cannot thank Will and his firm enough, for the moral support and legal counsel to myself and my family.

"Will and I have opened the Law Firm of Frankfurt & Trani, P.C. in 2004. We have owned the Firm since that time. We worked together an additional 3 years prior to that time at another criminal defense law firm. Over the years, I have seen Will handle hundreds, if not thousands, of criminal cases. These have included minor cases such as DUIs and other misdemeanors as well as many very serious cases such as murder, sex assault on a child and rape. The results that he has achieved have been outstanding and I would endorse and recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney."
