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 Klein | Frank, P.C. Here I will have the opportunity to continue doing what I love to do; work with the people who need my help.
