      Frank S. Clowney III

      Biography

      Frank Clowney has spent over forty years putting his problem solving skills to use helping others who are in distress because of either employment problems or an injury. Mr. Clowney provides his clients with both personal attention and the tools to overcome their legal concerns and go forward with their lives. This involves taking the time to educate his clients on both the law and the legal process so that they can follow along and understand their own case. He limits the number of cases that he accepts in order to maintain the highest level of personal contact with his clients. No two clients are the same. Some need a prompt resolution of their legal matter through negotiation or mediation. Others need to go to trial. Mr. Clowney tailors his approach in handling a case to his client's particular needs.

        Frank was a wonderful attorney. He helped me understand all of the aspects of my case, and he helped to calm my anxieties throughout the whole process. He was organized and fought for me very well. I ended up with the best outcome that I think that I could have gotten. Frank was very professional, and was able to navigate the complexities of my case which involved multiple state laws. He was willing to research all of our avenues and presented us with every option. Not only were the options presented, he really helped us understand the risks and benefits of each one and helped us pick the best options for us. If the need arises in the future, I would absolutely use Frank Clowney again.

        When I had decided to take legal recourse I first went with an attorney that was recommended to me by a friend. Since that legal office did not handle my type of case they recommended me to Mr. Clowney III. Mr. Clowney was very understanding in a professional manner. He understood the laws existing between states. He was quick to pick up an Act to protect me and my rights. Till the end he diligently negotiated my settlement and made it easy for me to have ease of mind in my period of recuperation. I hope I will never encounter this situation again, but if I do, I will not hesitate to call Mr. Clowney III again or recommend him. I began working in 2014, a job 3 minutes from where I live as an Operations Coordinator in an awesome, relaxed environment and staff. Thank you again Mr. Clowney III.

        He took his time in listening and helping solve the problem. He even wrote a letter in my name expressing my personal feelings which relieved a great burden. The money from the settlement ultimately gave my family and I a new start.

        Mr. Clowney is always available to answer any questions a client may have in regard to a case. He is patient and understanding. He takes time to explain the processes of a case. He has a good head for detail. I feel very confident in his care and I would recommend him highly to anyone.

        Hello, If you are looking for a lawyer, you are more than likely going through a difficult time, I know the feeling! I learned the hard way the definition of pain, suffering and injustice. I remember thinking what happened to me was wrong at every level, but did not know my rights and there was nothing I could do on my own. When I finally got the courage to ask for help, went from lawyer to lawyer getting “free consultations” I felt worse after each consultation! I had no means to retain any of those lawyers, and really I did not feel any of them really cared about my situation. Someone told me about Frank Clowney, I remember this person said to me “Don’t give up yet, call Attorney Frank Clowney, he is different”. Honestly, I had lost hope, but I made the call. The minute I walked in his office, I saw he really is different than any other lawyers I had talked to! Frank does not give you false hopes, he is honest, very detail oriented, patient and kind. He does not hesitate to reach behind his desk to grab a huge law book and read right in front of you before answering a question or giving you advice, if he needs to. And then, explains it all in terms you understand. To me, that meant a lot, he does not just talk to hear himself talk, or tells you anything to make you feel confused asking for you to just trust him. Frank won a nice settlement for me without asking for money upfront, he helped me recover so much more than financial loss, I can honestly tell you Frank helped me get my confidence back. I wish you well, don’t lose faith and go see Frank!! I highly recommend Attorney Frank S. Clowney, lll MKelley

        After being represented very ably, I recommend Frank Clowney III to anyone in need of legal assistance. During the 3 or 4 months Frank represented me, he was available when I needed him or returned my call within no more than 4 hours. His knowledge base is broad and deep, he’s patient and calm. He knows how far to push things and when to stop. We (Frank on my behalf) settled my case 100% in my favor. Sincerely, Wayne Wrolstad

        Frank helped me win a case settlement against a former employer. He was very diligent and responsive throughout the entire process. He took his time in explaining what my options would be and always made sure to listen to my concerns. I would highly recommend Frank to anyone with a Work-law issue.

        I have used Frank on a case in the past and ever since then he has always been a ear of advice for me . Whether it was something he could or could do him self or if it was something not able to pursue he still took his time to contact me and answer any questions and advice me of what I should do next . There are many attorneys out there but I only know one Frank Clowney that gives you his time and advice even when you are no longer a case he is working. That to me shows compassion and a person that is not just the money but the people. Priceless quality in an attorney I refer all family and friends to Frank because he cares even when his job is done .

        I have had the great pleasure of Frank S. Clowney representing me on three separate occasions regarding motor vehicle accidents and medical payments coverage. I was originally recommended to Mr. Clowney from another Personal Injury Attorney whom I had worked with in the past and whom was unable to take on my case. From our first meeting, I was impressed by Mr. Clowney’s professionalism, explanation of the process, and consultation throughout the case. Mr. Clowney handled all correspondence and negotiations with the party at faults insurance carrier and the outcome of my first case was much better than expected. Mr. Clowney was very knowledgeable regarding personal injury law and I had no surprises during the whole process. He was always available to answer any questions I had about the process, and make recommendations to me when needed. I was unfortunately involved in two additional vehicle accidents after my first case that were fairly close together, one of which required a medical review by the other parties insurance carrier. Mr. Clowney attended that appointment with me, and both of those cases were concluded with very favorable compensation for the medical expenses and injuries received. I would highly recommend Mr. Clowney to any individual who is seeking representation due to a vehicle accident. He will treat you with respect, keep you informed during the entire process and work to achieve the best possible settlement to case without excessive fees and charges. I am very satisfied with the outcome of all three of the auto accident and personal injury cases Mr. Clowney handled on my behalf, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking representation for an auto related accident.

        Although I ended up not needing an attorney during our initial contact, I will in the future and will be contacting Frank again. He spent a great deal of time talking with me regarding my situation and advising me on next steps in building a case. He is a ‘straight-shooter’ and knows his stuff; no beating around the bush. He is clearly one of the few who are in this profession for the ‘little guy’ (or gal!), and not out for the big bucks. As a dear friend once advised me, “Do what you love and the money will follow”; Frank epitomizes this as his previous reviews and court wins speak for themselves.

        I am an attorney. When it came time to hire an attorney to represent me in a bicycle accident, I chose Frank Clowney, whom I had associated before on other cases. He is very thorough and ethical and got me and my clients the best settlement possible.

        We have utilized the Legal Services of Frank Clowney for a number of Labor matters over the past ten years. He has been thorough in his research to provide us with the best options in each occasion. He has given us guidance in both, a preventative as well as defensive nature. Frank, although often on a case or in court, will respond to an inquiry in a timely manner, and will take action accordingly. Often times a phone conference is all that is required to find resolve. I would recommend Frank Clowney as a trusted source of up to date legal advice for any matter of labor and employment law.

        Frank is truly an expert in the area of employment law. In my particular situation I felt as though it was meant to be to have found his practice. Throughout the process my case was well represented by Frank. Frank is a good listener and is well spoken, both equally important in the outcome of any case.
