About Frankie
Frankie Adamo combines a technical undergraduate background with a law degree earned in the early 2000s. He graduated from the University of Central Florida in 1994 with a B.S. in computer science. A decade later he completed his J.D. at Florida A&M University College of Law in 2004. Those two degrees shape how he approaches legal problems: methodical, attentive to detail, and comfortable with technical material.
Adamo’s career has included roles that span state and federal practice. He is admitted to practice in Arizona and Florida and holds admissions to several federal forums, including the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Tax Court, the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. That range of admissions has allowed him to handle matters in both trial and appellate settings. He has also served in bar governance. From 2010 to 2014 he was Chairman of the Arizona State Bar Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee, a position that involved oversight of complaints and policy discussions about the practice of law in the state.
Clients and colleagues describe Adamo as deliberate in his preparation. He brings his computer science training into cases that touch on data, systems or technical processes. He is comfortable reviewing technical documents and explaining complex information in plain terms. That combination has been useful in litigation and in regulatory contexts where technical detail can be decisive.
His practice has involved work in federal courts, tax proceedings and state matters across Arizona and Florida. He has filed and argued matters in district and appellate courts and has participated in tax litigation at the national level. Adamo’s courtroom work reflects a mix of procedural experience and analytical writing. He tends to favor careful briefing and thorough factual records.
Outside litigation, his tenure on the Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee gave him a window into regulatory and ethical questions that affect law practice. Serving as chairman required balancing complaint review, education and policy input. The role also put him in contact with practitioners across the state and with bar leadership on enforcement and prevention strategies.
He practices from the Law Office of Frank Adamo. His current practice concentrates on federal and state litigation and tax matters arising under Arizona and Florida law.
