The first time I met Frank was at the Courthouse when my previous attorneys were abandoning me. Frank took my case when everyone else told me no. It wasn’t easy, but we won. Frank never gave up and I got the results that compensated me for my injury.

When I came to the law firm of Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC., I came for one reason and that was to be compensated for my injuries. When the case settled for one million dollars I got more than just a settlement. I had become good friends with Frank, who fought and battled for me every step.

Always have received excellent help from the attorneys in the firm. Frank C and Carl B handled our last cases very well.
