After law school, Frank had the privilege of serving as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Philip E. Haines, J.S.C. in the Burlington County Criminal Division. Frank went on to spend the next three (3) years as a trial attorney for the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender in their Gloucester County Office. His time as a Public Defender provided him with valuable courtroom experience as well as extensive practical knowledge of the criminal justice system.
As a criminal defense attorney, Frank has advocated for thousands of individuals accused of all types of felony offenses, including but not limited to firearms offenses, drug possession and distribution charges, aggravated assault, sexual offenses, robbery, and homicide.
In addition to his extensive experience in Criminal Law, Frank has developed an interest and focus in Domestic Violence Restraining Order litigation, successfully representing both plaintiffs and defendants at restraining order trials in Superior Court. Noting the serious ramifications to defendants’ personal and professional lives while a restraining order is in force, Frank aggressively defended clients accused of domestic violence. Understanding that victims often turn to the legal system as a last resort, Frank handles plaintiff restraining order matters with empathy and kindness, bringing passionate advocacy to the courtroom to protect victims of household violence.
