Frank Thomas Housh

I could not be happier with Frank Housh’s expertise, professionalism, and compassion. After 19 years working at the University at Buffalo - 14 years in University Facilities - upper management decided to suspend me for 10 months without pay pending termination on a fabricated charge of forwarding a c...onfidential email. Never having been in trouble before, I was extremely nervous about the future of my career. My anxiety was at an all time high to say the least. Frank quickly calmed all of my fears with his reassuring and confident demeanor. He was always quick to return my calls and thoroughly went over my case with me. In arbitration proceedings he was nothing short of amazing. He was confident, extremely prepared and his impressive cross-examination of the very first witness collapsed UB’s case in mere minutes. They were eager to make a deal before he was even finished with his questioning. I was extremely happy with the results and so happy Frank got me back to work. Frank’s assistant Kirsten is also just wonderful. She’s professional, responsive and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Housh Law Offices!!!

While having a lawyer that knows their stuff is important, so is a lawyer's ability to listen and console you-- making you feel things are just "going to be okay". Especially when your world seems to be crashing down, and you are ready to just give up. Knowing your attorney is "in your corner, fi...ghting for you" can make a difference in your day to day functioning when you're facing an untenable work situation. Frank, and his assistant Kirsten, have talked me through some very difficult times - and their support has been very precious to me. My case is ongoing, and there is no way to know what will happen, but regardless the outcome, I am confident that Frank has done everything possible to make things right, and that he truly cares about and supports his clients.

I'm an anxiety ridden person by nature, but when my status as a state-employee was being challenged, and my anxiety was increasing significant, I consulted with Frank. He knows labor laws for state employees better than the state. He was able to predict with complete accuracy the state's approach;... he was able to head off any problems; and he was able to obtain a fair settlement. In addition, he is a calming, reassuring person--somebody I needed to have on my side. 5+ stars!

A year ago I contacted attorney Frank Housh for a consultation regarding my FMLA and circumstances surrounding it. At the consultation, I shared with him my story and supporting documents. Throughout the consultation, Mr. Housh was a good listener, considerate, kind, and understanding--favorable qua...lities that remained throughout our interactions over the next year. Mr. Housh provided me with some realistic options for my situation and clearly communicated to me his legal fees. For the next year, Mr. Housh represented me well. He advocated on my behalf with counsel, putting into place protections for me and ultimately negotiating my separation agreement. It was a slow process, as legal processes can be, that involved Mr. Housh’s legal prowess and patience. Mr. Housh had numerous phone calls and email exchanges with counsel and with me. In the end, Mr. Housh negotiated a fair separation agreement for me and saw it through to the end. I’m glad that I retained Mr. Housh as my attorney. I highly recommend him with this caveat: “Understand that you might not get everything that you wanted but you will be much better off than you were without Mr. Housh as your attorney.” I have the utmost respect for Mr. Housh and regard him as a highly competent, trustworthy, and thoughtful attorney.
