Our Services

Comprehensive legal expertise tailored to your unique needs.

Corporate Law

We understand the expectations business owners bring when seeking legal guidance. While many firms provide general legal services, our practice is designed to go further by offering comprehensive corporate counsel tailored to the operational realities of modern businesses.

Through a predictable monthly flat-fee structure, we deliver ongoing legal support to companies that may not require—or wish to incur the expense of—full-time, in-house counsel. In this capacity, we function as your virtual general counsel, available to advise on both technical and transactional matters as they arise. Our clients routinely engage us for contract drafting and review, professional licensing matters, third-party financing and loan applications, and litigation-related issues.

Integrated Transactional and Litigation Perspective
A distinguishing feature of our corporate counsel services is the integration of both transactional and litigation experience. We approach due diligence and contract matters with the analytical rigor of seasoned litigators, identifying potential risks before they materialize. At the same time, our litigation strategy benefits from a deep understanding of business transactions, allowing us to advocate effectively while remaining aligned with our clients’ broader commercial objectives.

Commitment to Long-Term Partnership and Trust
Although we may not be embedded in your daily operations, we prioritize building enduring, trust-based relationships. Over time, we develop a detailed understanding of your business model, operational practices, and risk profile. This familiarity enables us to provide proactive, strategic guidance and to anticipate and mitigate common sources of dispute—such as contractual performance issues with vendors—before they escalate into costly conflicts.

Our goal is to serve not merely as legal advisors, but as trusted partners invested in the long-term success and stability of your business.

Litigation

Litigation is a powerful legal mechanism and, in certain circumstances, represents the only viable means of resolving a dispute in a client’s favor. In other matters, it may be employed strategically to advance defined objectives within the negotiation process.

With more than two decades of litigation experience, Frank D. Able, P.C. has successfully prosecuted and defended numerous cases on behalf of its clients, guiding them through the complexities of the legal system. The firm also integrates litigation strategies with assertive negotiation techniques to facilitate efficient and favorable resolutions. We recognize that litigation is ultimately a means to an end, and that each client’s unique circumstances dictate how and when it should be utilized. This level of judgment reflects the perspective of seasoned litigators and is essential when determining how best to address a legal dispute.

Our firm takes pride not only in the quality of our litigation services, but also in our broader commitment to resolving our clients’ underlying challenges. Accordingly, we approach each matter holistically, identifying opportunities to safeguard our clients’ interests through strategic negotiation, commercial arbitration, or other alternatives to full-scale litigation whenever appropriate.

Effective representation in estate matters requires a comprehensive understanding of both how estate plans are designed and how they can fail. In the estate planning context, counsel must anticipate contingencies and address potential gaps that could otherwise result in ambiguity, conflict, or litigation among beneficiaries. Conversely, effective estate litigation demands a thorough command of both conventional and more nuanced planning instruments, as well as the strategic purposes they are intended to serve in achieving long-term financial and familial objectives.

Our firm offers substantial experience in both estate planning and estate litigation. As a seasoned litigator with a reputation for assertive and effective trial advocacy, Mr. Able applies a results-driven approach to disputes involving trusts, wills, and related matters. At the same time, we recognize the sensitive nature of these proceedings and strive, where appropriate, to resolve disputes in a manner that minimizes lasting discord among family members. When necessary, however, we advocate vigorously and without compromise to protect our clients’ legal rights and interests.

With a clear understanding of the consequences that arise from incomplete or poorly drafted estate plans, we are equally committed to helping clients implement comprehensive, carefully tailored planning strategies. Our estate planning practice is grounded in the principle that individualized legal counsel—aligned with each client’s unique circumstances, assets, and objectives—is essential to ensuring that testamentary intent is honored and administered with clarity and minimal risk of dispute.

“The needs of an individual establishing an estate plan differ significantly from those of a client seeking to amend or expand an existing plan, and both differ from the needs of a family navigating the probate process. I offer extensive experience across all phases of estate planning, administration, and litigation to provide effective guidance at every stage.” — Frank D. Able
