The Best Attorney

Attorney Frank Sprouls was the only one who promised to bring my husband back home within 6 months. After his case was denied in Ciudad Juarez, every other attorney said it was going to take from 1 year to 3 years to bring him back. Also, his secretary Alejandrina was very helpful. Recommend him 10...0%

The best Lawyer

Attorney Frank Sprouls has been the only immigration attorney in our family and friends. Every case has been won thanks to his excellent work. I must mention his excellent secretary, Alejandrina. They are an excellent team, highly recommended.

The truth about Frank Sprouls and the State Bar

Mr Sprouls did one thing 48 times- he used the only tool in his Lawyer tool box to buy clients , who had no other options,time. He advanced their cases to the 9th circuit court! These cases would have staggered out over decades to get to that court. BUT the Bush administration sent in 40+ judges to... the San Francisco immigration courts and demanded that all cases be done in one year!!! He was brought up to the 9th circuit court and investigated. Their findings? "Mr Sprouls. Worked in the interest of his clients, had no financial gain in doing so, and is highly regarded by the courts and his colleagues." They couldn't let him off with nothing so he got sentenced to 1 day of classes!!!! The State Bar makes 80% of their budget on trying attorneys! They got wind of this action by 9th circuit and sent him to trial - $100,000. later they revised the trial judges findings - a one day class- and suspended him for 2 years - keeping all the $ and tarnishing Mr Sprouls reputation ! It is said " He who steals my purse steals nothing- he who steals my reputation steals all!" The State Bar of California has done both to Attorney Sprouls! The 3 people who overturned the judges finding - are so secretive that they didn't even sign their full names- the cowards - shame on the State Bar! I have had a number of people I know hire Frank Speouls to represent them with great successes!
