About Dave
A lawyer who works across state lines, Dave Frankel is admitted to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He has built a practice that serves clients in both jurisdictions and often addresses matters that touch on rules and procedures in each state.
Frankel's career has been rooted in private practice. Over the years he has appeared in state courts and handled matters before administrative bodies. He has also spent time counseling clients outside of courtrooms, explaining options and risks so they can make informed choices.
Colleagues say he blends practical problem-solving with an attention to procedural detail. He approaches filings, hearings and negotiations as parts of the same effort: resolve what can be resolved early and prepare thoroughly for what cannot. That combination shapes how he prepares cases and advises clients.
He operates under his own name and maintains an office that serves the two-state area. Managing a small practice has meant taking responsibility for the everyday work of running a firm while also remaining the primary lawyer on client matters. That setup keeps him close to the clients he represents and to the tactical decisions each matter requires.
Frankel keeps current with developments in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania law. Practicing in neighboring states requires attention to differing rules, timelines and court practices. He adapts documents and courtroom strategies to meet those local requirements.
Outside the courtroom he spends time explaining legal processes to clients who are confronting unfamiliar systems. He prefers direct conversations that clarify options and consequences. That plainspoken approach helps clients understand what to expect and what choices they will face.
Over time his work has involved a steady mixture of contested matters and transactional advice, shaped by the needs of the people and businesses he represents. He continues to accept matters in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania and brings the same procedural care to each file. He currently concentrates his practice on legal matters arising in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
