A Lawyer’s Lawyer for Criminal and Civil Matters
The Franco Law Firm is a highly respected legal practice located in the Buckhead / Midtown transition area of Atlanta. Founded by Leonard ‘Lenny’ Franco, a veteran attorney with nearly 50 years of experience, the firm has earned a unique reputation as a ‘lawyer’s lawyer’-meaning that when other attorneys find themselves in legal trouble or need complex counsel, they often call Lenny Franco. Since 1976, the firm has provided sophisticated representation in both federal and state courts. Unlike high-volume firms that rely on junior associates, The Franco Law Firm offers the direct, seasoned expertise of its founder. The firm’s mission is simple yet profound: to leave the client better off than when they hired the firm. This commitment to client welfare, combined with aggressive courtroom advocacy, has made it a staple of the Atlanta legal community.
Criminal Defense and Appeals
Lenny Franco is widely recognized for his prowess in criminal law. The firm handles serious cases where the stakes are highest, including:
- Federal Criminal Defense: Representing clients facing federal indictments for white-collar crimes, drug trafficking, and RICO violations.
- Appellate Law: fighting wrongful convictions and legal errors in the Georgia Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Georgia.
- General Criminal Defense: defending individuals against a wide range of state charges, from DUI to violent felonies.
Civil Litigation and Personal Injury
Beyond criminal defense, the firm maintains a robust civil practice. They apply the same trial-ready mentality to civil disputes:
- Business Litigation: resolving contract disputes, partnership conflicts, and other commercial legal issues.
- Personal Injury: fighting for victims of car accidents and negligence to ensure they receive fair compensation.
- Family Law: Assisting clients with sensitive domestic matters, including divorce and custody disputes.
