With well over 100 jury cases tried in his career, Frank Jones brings exceptional depth of experience to his area of concentration. In his over 40 years of practice, Frank has represented a wide range of clients from diverse industries in major commercial and, in several instances, "bet-the-company" litigation. His experience includes anti-trust cases, securities class action litigation and securities arbitrations. Kaplan Publishing has recently published "Lessons From the Courtroom," a book Frank has written based on his many years of trying lawsuits.

The common denominators among Frank's diverse client roster in handling significant dollar exposure cases are experience, expertise, and courtroom skills needed to provide representation in complex litigation.

Frank's broad-based client experience parallels his love for travel in that he sees visiting new places as an opportunity to extend his knowledge of art and cultures. Although he receives real satisfaction from carrying a case through from opening statement to final argument, the sights offered by the opportunity to travel can be equally satisfying to him.
