Because some settlements are confidential and some clients do not want their cases publicized, the below articles represent just a sample of the successful results attorneys with the Frank Law Office have achieved.

Our client called 911 for help with a non-criminal matter but then resolved the issue before anyone arrived. She told the officers who showed up that they could not enter her house.
