Satisfied client

Mr. Shooster worked his heart out on my case. He invested his time and energy and expertise, but most importantly, he provided encouragement and emotional support throughout the process. It took six years to get justice for me, but Mr. Shooster never gave up. I am happy to say that he prevailed after... a long and difficult trial. I want everyone to know that he is absolutely the best trial attorney I have ever seen in trial. I feel doubly qualified to rate him as I am now a trial attorney myself. He was, and continues to be, my inspiration to achieve great legal victories.

Rainey Weir V Bellsouth

Attorney Shooster handled my case against a fortune five company back in 1992. He always kept me involved in every detail of my case. By being kept so involved on my case while it was progressing, it actually helped as a kind of therapy from the discrimation abuse i had suffered from my employer pri...or to filing my case. Frank went to great lengths holding mock trials and preparing our case, with good end results.

"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."

Christopher Sharp

Employment and labor lawyer | Nov 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

William Amlong

Employment and labor lawyer | Aug 14

Relationship: Friend

"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."
