WRSMH is saddened to announce the passing of our partner Frank J. Lombardo. Frank began his tenure with our firm in 2015, and brought with him a wealth of experience and knowledge having been a defense attorney for over three decades. Prior to joining our firm Frank had been litigating and trying cases for over 30 years in the New York and Federal District Courts. He also successfully briefed and argued appeals in the New York State Appellate Division, First and Second Departments, as well as the New York State Court of Appeals. During his career Frank participated in nearly 100 jury trials. At WRSMH Frank was successful in obtaining several multi-million dollar verdicts for injured accident victims. In one case a jury awarded our client $8.3 million. The case involved a 38-year-old woman who suffered a spinal cord injury in a motor vehicle accident. He also obtained a verdict in the amount of $11.76 million for a Union construction worker who was struck by a falling object and had to undergo spinal fusion surgery. Frank was a dedicated attorney who worked tirelessly to obtain a fair result for his clients.
Outside of the office Frank enjoyed spending time with his family, listening to music and attending concerts and working diligently with charities that helped disadvantaged children.
Frank was a kind and generous man who will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him.
