Hear from my Clients
“Frank George served as our counsel for the debt side of this transaction and was not only thorough and extremely responsive, but also a joy to work with. He took initiative to assure that every part of the deal was properly tied up and navigated the negotiation of the finer details of our agreements with precision and practicality. Frank jumped into this project after returning to private practice and never let up – working practically around the clock to keep things moving quickly. I would highly recommend him for any debt-related deals you may work on. He’s excellent.”
