Attorney Information

Overview

Bob Frank, born in Yerington Nevada, grew up in Southern California and graduated from San Diego State University Phi Betta Kappa, where he was president of his Kappa Sigma fraternity in 1976. Legal internships with the Navajo Indian Reservation and Napa County District Attorneys office preceded his 42 years of personal injury and medical professional malpractice trial work at the now Neil Dymott law firm in San Diego, during which time he was lead counsel in over 100 jury and administrative medical licensing board cases, receiving numerous recognitions from the legal profession. Mr. Frank has transitioned his practice into representing plaintiffs with Chihak and Associates law firm while maintaining his health care professional licensing practice. Since high school he was a devoted surfer and sports enthusiast, which enthusiasm has not waned, along with his love of music, family and desire for just plain old fun.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
