Denver Lawyer: Carrie Frank
This work became frustrating as most of the kids
in the group home did not want my help and their parents were angry
at needing to come to me. After several years, I decided to return to
school to pursue a law degree, and I told myself that I would not work
with people again. Little did I know how things would turn out.
During
law school, I worked for a well respected business firm that handled
a lot of banking and real estate cases. While I was good at my job,
I never felt that I quite 'fit' with this firm. I was given the
opportunity to handle a few of their personal injury cases; medical
malpractice and auto accidents; and it was there that I found my niche.
Twenty
years ago, I left the business firm and joined with a sole practitioner.
Together we worked exclusively on Plaintiffs' personal injury cases.
I had learned, as I tried to reshape my career and force my round self
into a square hole, that being a Plaintiffs' lawyer is more than what
I do, it is a part of who I am. I have always felt most comfortable,
and happy, working with people who might need the most help. Whether
my task was to help someone navigate the system, fight a large corporation
that made a defective product, or get their medical bills paid after
a car accident, working with the "underdog" is what I've always
liked doing. And I have found that my years of social work training
and experience has helped me develop a skill that most lawyers do not
have. I learned how to listen. Listen to my clients, listen to the arguments,
and listen to what is important to each individual person in each individual
case.
Now,
after twenty years of fighting the auto manufacturers for making defective
cars that can cause catastrophic injuries, I have left that practice
and joined Beth Klein P.C. Here I will have the opportunity to continue
doing what I love to do; work with the people who need my help.
