A Tenacious Genius In My Corner: So Glad I Hired Frank

Frank and Kirsten make an exceptional team. They heard my story, relayed my options with both honesty and tact, and offered to take the case for a down payment that was more than fair. Over time, my case became more complicated. There were days when I felt so overwhelmed. Frank and Kirsten were b...y my side 100% of the time, always available to help me process information and thoughtfully weigh my options. They reply quickly, answer questions candidly, explain things to me in ways I can understand, they listen to me, and they take me seriously when I come to them about a hunch or a concern that I think could effect my case. Going through this ordeal has been immensely stressful, no one wants to find themselves in a position where an attorney is needed. But should that dreaded day arrive - you can sleep easy knowing that the best of the best is in your corner. When we emerged victorious, I was relieved, but not surprised. All along I had known Frank would deliver, I knew he was trustworthy, and I knew his confidence was backed up by skill, knowledge of the law, and strategic planning that paid off nicely. I'm forever grateful for Housh Law, I would recommend their services to anyone and everyone seeking an attorney.

OUTSTANDING!!!

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!!!

Genuine and compassionate law firm

Mr. Housh has truly been a blessing. Since our first Sunday meeting (yes he met with me on the weekend!), he has been successful in communicating with the institution on my behalf. I am always amazed by their flexibility and promptness is returning calls. Kirsten is equally wonderful and overall a pl...easure to speak with. Mr. Housh and his staff have a way of making you feel like a member of their family. I am impressed by their genuine concern for my legal issues as well as my overall wellbeing. Mr. Housh was to able to obtain a quick satisfactory resolution for immediate concerns. He continues to work diligently on remaining concerns. He is well versed and knowledgeable in several areas of the law. I would highly recommend his firm.

No Communication

I hired Mr. Housh early 2016 for a Disability Case against the City of Buffalo. It has still. It been resolved not do I get phone calls. When I go to scheduled appts I feel that I am being rushed and the issue is not resolved . I recently contacted the office to get my paperwork that he was given r...eturned because I know I cannot Get my retainer back. I wish this could have ended better but communication was everything to me . He was my attorney that I put trust I him but I cannot get a response when I am checking on my case.

Hiring Frank Housh Was The Best Thing I Did

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!
