Attorney David Frank is running for Circuit Judge to serve the citizens of the Second Judicial Circuit, Group 12. David is known as an evidence-code guru and is detested by the Foreclosure Mills. He has remained in the foreclosure trenches and taken on the most devious lenders. Please support David Frank because foreclosure is a civil rights and personal injury issue.
David entered the private practice of law in 1998. The Frank Law Firm was involved in personal injury, civil rights, and consumer protection litigation including foreclosure and collection law. He has been the lead trial counsel and co-counsel for numerous jury trials in state and federal courts and settlements that resulted in major recoveries for catastrophically injured clients and wrongful deaths.
David has helped improve the lives of hundreds of clients through his work, including abused children and the elderly, victims of sexual assault and discrimination, citizens whose constitutional rights had been violated, residents of our community who had been injured or lost property due to natural disaster and accidents, residents who were at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure, the seriously ill who have been denied the vital medical care and medicines they need, and consumers hurt by defective products. He is a soldier for those who have been damaged by unscrupulous corporations.

I’m not in the panhandle but this is the type of judge we need… I love evidence… I gained YET ANOTHER entity claiming to own my note just a week ago… I wonder if ANY of them can show HIDC… I know the answer because I know who the real originator and first sale was and NONE of it is in the official record.
Bring on the truth.
Luckily for Mr. Frank, I do not live in Florida because I would never vote for him. This email is asking for his vote on one issue — foreclosure. I am always wary of someone who has had such a long history with the military. Some of the expeditions that he was on may be termed heroic by some, especially those in the military, but, as I see it, the U.S. was meddling in others affairs and Mr. Frank was there to help carry out corporate desires in those foreign countries.
There are many people who will vote for a candidate on one issue which can be dangerous in the long run because all of that candidate’s other policies might just be a vote for business as usual, meaning a tacit support of the endemic corruption that grips this nation.
Nothing in California? Judges here especially in Los Angeles are in favor of these banks. Why is that?
