Frank may be hard to get a hold of however he is the best layer money can buy for criminal defense in the city of Louisville so that's something that one would suspect. He is pretty much a magician when it comes to the court system and I would have him represent myself again(heaven forgid I find myself there again) and any one of my friends or family. I was facing multiple felonies and prison time, although frank may be very rough around the edges he expertly managed to get me a 3 for 3 diversion sentence upon pleading guilty to a class d felony. If you want my opinion the guy is a bamf'in lawyer and worth every single penny!

I had some questions for Mr. Mascagni. He took the time to listen to my questions and answered them fully. Though, Mr Mascagni will not be the attorney of record, he still allotted me time and effort that can only come from an honorable, well respected and outstanding attorney. Thank you so very much.

Mr. Frank Mascagni managed a case for my Son, for me. Mr. Mascagni is straightword, honest, direct, and long suffering while managing the grief, hysteria, panic, and fear a parent is in when their child in in the middle of a horrible situation. He will provide guidance and honesty in a direct straight forward mannerr. Frank provides extraordinary experience and wisdom in dealing with our Criminal Judicial system. He is well respected by peers, officiers, and the court.

Frank has an excellent reputation with both the bench and bar as a hard-working and competent criminal defense attorney in Louisville, Kentucky and the surrounding areas. I would recommend him to you if you need a top of the line litigator.

I have known Frank both personally and professionally for over five years now. I can tell you, without hesitation, there is no better advocate for clients in need than Frank Mascagni. He is, as many would say, "old school" and combines his solid moral character with an intense desire for what is fair. Frank will fight endlessly for his clients and will not back down. I would highly recommend Mr. Mascagni for any of your legal needs. While knowledgeable in all areas of the law, he is honest and straightforward; if he is unable to competently assist, he will direct you to a competent attorney equivalent to one of his caliber in his area of expertise - criminal defense law. On a professional level, he is responsive and understanding while providing an honest assessment of your situation. I consulted him most recently in July 2011 regarding a potential criminal matter involving a family member. His guidance eased the anxiety and confusion felt by both myself and my family that was associated with the complicated bureaucracy of the legal system.

Frank has represented me for many years on several matters. He is very professional and honest. He gave me great advice and represented me every step of the way. He is well respected by the other lawyers and judges. He's always given me 100%. I recommend him without reservation to my friends and associates.

Very dynamic and thorough. Always answered my questions. As I watched him in the courthouse, it was apparent that other attorneys respected his experience and expertise. I have recommended Mr. Mascagni to friends and none have complained about his representation.

I consulted Mr. Mascagni to assist me in a legal matter regarding my granddaughter. I was very satisfied with the advice he gave me. He was professional and showed a genuine concern for me. I have known Mr. Mascagni for six years. He is one the best lawyers in this area and his services are highly sought after. I am more than pleased with his advice and direction and would reccomend him to anyone who needed a competent lawyer in Louisville, KY.
