"Frank is absolutely amazing! I met him in Santa Barbara court. He could have sent an appearance attorney, yet he drove all the way out from LA to make sure he does the best for his client. He's also an immigration attorney, so he's very cognizant of any adverse immigration consequences that a criminal matter can render. He is an attorney that a client can trust. Frank is an outstanding colleague among attorneys. I'm truly pleased to be of his acquaintance."

"Strong knowledge of both criminal law and procedure as is clearly evident from his pro bono contributions. 26 years of criminal law experience comes with any consultation with him. Do yourself a favor and schedule that consultation with him if you are in or near Alhambra and want the benefit of his vast experience. KUDOS"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
