Mr. Frank Cardis represented me as my defense lawyer. I am thrilled with the outcome! I am so glad I hired him instead of trying to handle this on my own.

I called Frank Cardis after seeing on his website that he had great experience. He promptly responded and was very helpful in explaining my situation and options. He offered good advice on how best to approach my situation. In consideration of his pleasant demeanor, confidence in law, and ability to think on his feet with excellent judgement, I hired him right then. This decision turned out to be one of the best I ever made! I had not considered such an outstanding outcome was possible before I hired Frank Cardis, yet he made it so. I would especially like to thank Frank Cardis for his tireless effort on my behalf, as he did a tremendous job. I would highly recommend Frank Cardis to anyone in need of legal counsel. Simply put: Frank not only gets the job done, but he gets it done well. He is a good man, and a great attorney.

During a time that was most stressful in my own personal life in dealing with the custody of my daughter, Mr. Cardis not only showed excellence in law, but also demonstrated the urgency that I felt in how he handled each and every step. I was followed up by Mr. Cardis to give me an update on the status of my case as things progressed. And he was there to answer every call I made. I never once felt like I did not matter to him. When it was time for court, I was shocked at how prepared he was in detail. He completely took things over, making one of the most stressful days of my life a lot easier. In the end, I am thankful I hired Mr. Cardis, and my rights as custodial guardian are still in tact. I have since referred Mr. Cardis at every opportunity to family and friends.

I hired Frank Cardis to perform a routine challeng with the local prosecutor do to an Unwarranted traffic stop, where I pulled around a line of vehicles due to construction where traffic out of our town had been shut down temporarily and my business was with company just 50 feet away. I was cited that the other lane was not a designated lane. Not only did Mr Cardis take the time to understand my concern (which was probably so small that most attorneys would have pushed it aside and told me to pay and wait till the term expired) but he found out that the officer improperly requested information from me, conduct was questionable and established proof that the lane in fact was a USABLE lane. I did however turn left in a right lane around a vehicle (not legal even under the circumstances) but after personally speaking with the prosecutor, was able to promptly dismiss my tickets and fines and was only on a temporary warning (last lasted a mere 3 months. I felt like he walked me through the process like a friend would and was always communicating with me about my situation and my protection under the law. I never once felt like another number. I would recommend Mr. Cardis to anyone. There are no miracles, but he will be straight and caring and has shown that he'll be in your corner fighting for your rights.
