"As a Founder and member of the management team at Frictionless, I had the opportunity to oversee Frank's work on several different projects. In all capacities, Frank was a strong and reliable resource. One thing in particular that stands out in my mind is Frank's deep capacity to construct and interpret complex financial models - a rare and refreshing skill set to see in an attorney."
