Knows Law Plus Web Publishing!

I needed help on how to set up a small (for now!) online publication. There were copyright, contractual (for writers) and First Amendment questions that I had. Someone I knew recommended Frank. Can't thank that person enough. Frank was and will be my go-to guy. He knows the law, and he's also an inde...pendent writer online himself so he will understand your needs from your perspective, too. He's smart, straight-shooting, and you will be more confident after Frank describes limits and possibilities for you.

Marriage of Law, Business, Negotiations

We needed help on how to address responsibilities from a consultant on a medium-term contract (that we ridiculously wrote ourselves). Unfortunately, the agreement we had with the consultant wasn't sufficient and two critical questions were left unresolved. We wanted to continue working with the cons...ultant but needed a revised agreement (without alienating anyone, of course). Frank gave us what we needed: a new agreement and a positive continuing relationship with the consultant. Everyone came out ahead. Highly recommended.

Copyright Question Answered

I have been working on a brochure for a new service and wanted to make it nice with some pictures. It's my first try with doing that but I had some questions about what was allowed. Mr. Slinkard answered all my questions during a very informative and also friendly consultation. He presented things so... positively but helped me understand pitfalls too. Really good experience!

Great job on will

I had put off making a will for a long time, and I now have three kids and a house. I learned about virtual law offices, and then I found and contacted Attorney Slinkard on line. The process of making a will became easy and stress-free for me with this lawyer's help. Attorney Slinkard was very thoro...ugh, answered my questions right away, and explained anything I didn't understand in the legal language of the documents. I had my will in a few days, I didn't have to drive anywhere, and the cost was low. I highly recommend Attorney Frank Slinkard. You will be fully satisfied with his work, and you will have peace of mind.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
