Pro Bono attorney for Haitian relief efforts
My name is Reverend Jose Jean Pierre. I am operating a Haitian relief organization. I know Frank Shooster since before the cruel earthquake that destroyed Haiti in January 2010. Frank Shooster contributed hundreds of hours to help our relief project in Haiti. He just helps us for free as a pro bono...

Good, honest, and knowledgable attorney
I hired Frank a few years ago after interviewing several potential attorneys for my wrongful termination case. His peer reviews were (are) excellent, and found him to be extremely knowledgable and competent. I felt that his skills and instincts inside the courtroom were second to none.

I agree with the 2nd review
This attorney gets a bad review, then has his friends and family review him in a false light. When this attorney represented me, I found him to be completely inadequate. He was never in the office. and his employees are spread throughout the state. They work remotely. I agree with the 2nd review,...

Horrible Attorney and Firm
Don't know what the previous reviewer was smoking when he wrote that review of Frank from 1992, but I can tell you this "lawyer" is an embarrassment in 2011. Throughout my whole case, he was outclassed. This guy is all about the buck and doesn't care where he gets it. He failed to add correct case...
My firm and I remain counsel of record for this client. We have moved to withdraw from his case, for reasons I am unable to detail according to the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct. As long as we are his attorneys, we owe him the duty to represent him zealously, and we are not permitted to say anything derogatory about him, even if it means that we cannot defend ourselves against his allegations.

Frank Shooster is a professional, knowledgable and zealous advocate
I have known Frank for over 10 years, primarily through our membership in the Florida Chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association. I have always found him to be an extremely professional, ethical and knowledgable attorney. Contrary to some of the comments posted here by a few disgruntled c...
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Shooster is a proven trial attorney and an asset to Plaintiffs in employment law cases. Mr. Shooster is a seasoned trial attorney with an eye for cross-examining witnesses, specially expert witnesses. I highly endorse and recommend Mr. Shooster."
"I second the accolades written about Frank by Mr. Sharp and Mr. Amlong, and would add that Frank is one of the most compassionate attorneys I have ever met, as evidenced in part by his outside interests. If you consult with Frank and he chooses you as a client, then you are fortunate indeed and can sleep well knowing you have excellent representation."
"I have known Frank for over ten years now and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch labor and employment attorney in South Florida. He is dedicated, hard-working and has the compassion and empathy for his clients that far too many attorneys lack these days. I have also seen Frank speak at several Continuing Legal Education courses and have always enjoyed his presentations."
"I endorse this lawyer. Frank Shooster, whom I have known for around 20 years, is one of the handful of lawyers to whom my wife/law partner, Karen Coolman Amlong, and I refer clients when we have either a conflict or just too much on our plate. We do so confidently because, among other things, he and we are among the relatively few lawyers practicing in the labor-and-employment area who are Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyers. That means that the Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education since 1992 has rated Frank --- based on experience, a rigorous inital examination, peer review, and continuing legal education --- as being qualified to Florida to hold himself out as a specialist in trying civil cases. While most cases actually settle prior to trial, defendants are generally more likely to settle well with someone represented by a lawyer with a reputation for knowing his or her way around the courtoom. Frank is just such a lawyer. He has both passion and skill."
