About Jon Frank
My name is Jonathan H. Frank, and from now until the time we bring your case to a close, you will be my focus. At The Frank Law Firm, PC, clients come first.
I have been a trial lawyer for over 30 years, first practicing law in Los Angeles CA, before moving to Chicago IL, and before returning home to Michigan. I have been in Richmond MI since 2012, serving the community’s need for aggressive litigation and courtroom-oriented legal work, in accident and criminal defense matters. Richmond is my home.
I first moved to Richmond from my home in northwest suburban Detroit in 2013, to be with my partner, my wife Pam, who is now retired from her work as a Registered Nurse,
People in our area like to know who they are doing business with, and IF THEY CAN DEAL WITH SOMEONE LOCAL, WHO IS ALSO EXPERIENCED, so much the better.
I noticed that people in smaller towns like Richmond, Armada, and in rural areas like North Macomb and St. Clair Counties, often default to the idea that they have to go down to Detroit, or even up to Port Huron, to find someone experienced in accident/personal injury matters, DUI/criminal defense or probate
Since 2013, that has not been the case. Not only does our community have a deep well of talent and interesting people, I would also like to think that I add to that mix, with legal experience and depth, right here in our own backyard.
You will see other lawyers on television, and you might hear them on the radio, long before you ever see or hear me in those advertising mediums. I am able to rely on referrals from previous clients, and yes, from other attorneys. Referrals from people who know me.
Other than this website, and some social media posts, I simply do not have to advertise.
My job is to leave people better off than I found them, whether that means a financial trial verdict or settlement that will help make their lives better, or the dismissal of unfounded criminal charges. Many of my clients have been able to buy homes with the money I got them in financial settlements of injury cases; in others, I help people criminal charges dismissed or reduced; I help people regain the dignity that comes with not having to ask friends and elderly relatives for a ride, whenever you need to drive somewhere; I help families in some small way, move on from grief, by helping to probate the titles to real estate formerly owned by a recently deceased parent, or other relative.
I am not only a lawyer, but I have been a client as well. That means I understand.
Being a client is extremely stressful, so leaving people better off than I found them may mean keeping clients posted on their cases, even when they do not ask what is going on. I blind copy by email, everything that I do on clients’ cases, so that they not only know what I am doing, they know when I am doing it.
Leaving people better off may mean helping them in some other way, even if that means referring a case to another attorney, in an area of the law that I do not deal with. Like I said, my job is to leave people better off than I found them.
When I am not pushing my clients’ cases toward the outcomes we want, you may find me hiking the local country roads, bicycling on the Macomb-Orchard Trail in the spring and summer, or hitting the Peloton in the winter. I am blessed with family, friends, and a partner who amazes me daily.
I am also a “dog guy”; and if you are a local, you might see me walking mine at 530am daily. Dogs teach us love, kindness, responsibility and the humility that comes with the knowledge that our time with them is short, we will lose them sooner than we want, and thus we will inevitably experience some of the greatest heartbreak in the world. The dogs I have had, from “Skipper” (the mutt I had as a youngster) to “Mickey”, to “Jamey”, remain in my heart, which now belongs to “Olive” and “Forest”. From years of being around dogs, I have learned this: we do not own dogs. They own us.
