The Frank Law Firm provides skilled representation for a wide range of businesses and legal fields. The firm’s litigation and trial attorneys have a proven track record in resolving all types of disputes, representing clients as plaintiffs and defendants in civil, commercial, criminal and complex commercial litigation matters, both in state and federal courts and at the trial and appellate levels.
The Frank Law Firm’s attorneys focus on keeping clients out of the courtroom. We pro-actively counsel clients on ways to resolve disputes without the necessity of litigation and how to avoid future disputes. However, when trial proves necessary, our team of attorneys are aggressive, experienced, and skilled in the courtroom, whether facing judge or jury. At The Frank Law Firm, we stand by our clients from start to finish, guiding them through all facets of the case. When necessary, this includes appeals as well.
Our experienced litigation team has argued cases before judges and juries in state and federal courts throughout the United States, involving a broad spectrum of legal issues, including:

As an integral part of The Frank Law Firm’s litigation practice, our attorneys handle all aspects of pre-trial, trial, appellate and post-judgment proceedings in the most complex cases.
