He didn't just handle the legal arguments; he understood the intricate business realities behind our case. Frank meticulously deconstructed the opposing party's claim, leveraging his recognized expertise in Litigation - Insurance to craft a formidable defense strategy. His calm, steady guidance from his Cozen O'Connor office was invaluable during a stressful period. The result was a settlement that far exceeded our expectations, protecting our assets and our reputation. Frank’s recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved, but what impressed us most was his personal investment in achieving a positive outcome. He is the definition of a seasoned professional.
