“The purpose of law is to prevent the strong from always having their way.”
-Ovid

The lawyers of Frank/Gecker LLP have practiced at some of the largest and most prominent law firms in Chicago and often take leading roles in bankruptcy and litigation matters across the United States. In the past year, clients hired Joe Frank and Frances Gecker to represent their interests in bankruptcy and district courts in 22 states, the Circuit Courts of Appeal for the First, Third and Seventh Circuits and the United States Supreme Court. These clients included trustees, official and unofficial creditors’ committees and many large public and private corporations that held large bankruptcy claims or found themselves embroiled in significant bankruptcy disputes or other commercial litigation.

We bring vision and intensity to every engagement. We possess the experience and intellect to develop and pursue novel arguments to successful conclusion and, even on routine matters, we focus on key issues, while implementing practices that allow us to pursue our clients’ interests relentlessly, but with great efficiency.

The bedrock beneath our approach is an unwavering commitment to the ethical practice of law. This commitment led Joe Frank and Frances Gecker to strike out on their own to build a small firm where the client can always come first, without the obstacles that arise when the practice of law crosses the line from profession to business.
