Compensation is to an employee like peace of mind is to Housh law team.

Just as one is due compensation after working hard to make their organization meet its goals, peace of mind is what one gets working for fairness with Frank and his team. Frank just knows his stuff. Honest, fair, and a win-win negotiator, Frank knows the law, knows the difference between right and wr...ong, and recognizes good or bad intentions.

If I could give zero I would

Frank was hired to represent my son at his school for obtaining educational services. First impression- he was disheveled and late. We paid a flat fee up front. When the time came for a school meeting, Frank did not show up nor did he respond to our requests made by text, email and calls for him to b...e there. He blamed all miscommunication on his staff. He did not help us at all except cause more stress to an already stressful situation we were seeking help with. We requested our money back and he agreed but then ignored us for over a year. Finally we were able to file a claim to get our money back over 2 years after we first sought his counsel. Seems he is more of a criminal lawyer not a child advocate. I do not recommend him as a child advocate.

I regret the bad client experience in this case. The client expectations were very high and I must respectfully disagree that nothing was accomplished.

SO THANKFUL

So thankful for Mr. Housh!! After hiring and firing my first two lawyers, I finally found a lawyer that gave me confidence and optimism about my felony case. Instead of years in prison, as I was looking at, he got me probation and I have been able to be free and continue taking care of my kids.. So s...o so thankful google took me right to him!!

Great work done on a very short time. Special attention to detail.

Frank and his team defended me on an emergency litigation matter, and he poured everything he had into the case. I was incredibly appreciative of the attention his team paid to my case, and they were always very responsive if I needed something.

Posted by anonymous | January 17, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Work Entrapment

I contacted Frank in the fall of 2019. He agreed to sit down with me for a consultation almost immediately after I contacted him. I told him the details and explained what a rough time I was going through because my entire livelihood was at stake. Frank put me at ease and said he felt like we had a v...ery good chance at getting my job back. At that time I hired Frank to represent me at that very first consultation. Keep in mind I spent my time researching for the best attorney I could rely on at a very reasonable price. My employer(who said they would accommodate me for using medical marijuana), was now trying to terminate me for using medical marijuana a year later. I felt trapped, alone, misled, couldn’t sleep and constantly concerned about paying my mortgage and other bills. Every time I hit a low point and needed reassurance Frank was there for me along with his caring assistant Kirsten. If they happened to be in court or consulting with another client, one of them would return my call in a short period of time. After a hearing with the top officials in my department, I had my job back within 10 days! I will hire Frank again if I’m ever in need. I couldn’t be more satisfied with Frank,Kirsten and all of their hard work.
