"Frank and Jo Ann were great. They were incredibly responsive and got us exactly what we needed in a very short time frame. We look forward to working with them again!"

"Fast and responsive communication, great to deal with. Would hire again."
"Frank was the first person I worked with on UpCounsel, and I have to say that it was a great experience! He was the first to reach out to me, explained his specialties and experience, and clearly explained how his background applied to what I was looking for. I needed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) in about a day and he was able to meet my schedule and also delivered a great document with everything I requested and much more. He communicates clearly, answers questions in appropriate detail with explanations, and had some interesting stories to share. Overall a great experience and I look forward to working with him in the future."
"Frank is clearly very knowledgeable in multiple areas of Law. He was great to work with and I would definitely use Frank for future legal work should it arise."
