Mr. Frankfurt represented me in Colorado on a DWAI case. He helped me tremendously, he worked with me every single step of the way. I was laid off shortly after I was charged with my DUI, and not only did he work with me on my payments but he kept on my case 100% as if I was ahead on my payments. He ...never failed to get back to me when I had a important question or request. I have worked in the oil field my whole life and it doesn't allow you much time for other things, so instead of me having to schedule my work and life around this case, he made it so I could continue working and living without having to worry about losing a second job due to a court date or anything of that nature. He was he most helpful lawyer I have worked with. He treated me like I was family and not just another client. I am glad he is the lawyer I chose to hire because without him I would have lost a second job and most likely spent a lot of time in jail. I cant thank him enough, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Great Job

Great Job, I would recommend him to friends and family. He helped me over the summer and resolved my case to my complete satisfaction, I hope he continues doing a great job and he will always be in demand as a hardworking and in the know attorney. Because of my desire to adopt he pleaded my case down... to a trespassing case which can also be removed after 3 years. I owe him a debt of gratitude.

William Frankfurt is an excellent lawyer!

Will Frankfurt is definitely one of the best lawyers around. Will is always available to answer all of our questions and will do everything possible to make sure that he finds a solution to whatever we are facing. We used Will for our son that was facing a serious charge. The case from the beginni...ng was being grossly overcharged and Will was kind, knowledgable and took the time to ease our fears and explain the process step by step. Will worked hard to make sure that all of the facts of our side of the story were presented to the court. He was successful in getting three felony charges reduced to a misdemeanor. He has also stayed in contact to make sure that things are good with our son, which shows that he takes a very personal approach and is absolutely the first lawyer we would recommend to anyone going thru the legal process.

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!

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
