Frankie Exler - Pittsburgh Criminal Lawyer

During her time in law school, Frankie continued to work for the firm and was our full-time law clerk. Additionally, she was a certified legal intern for both the Sikov Elder Law Clinic where she drafted wills, power of attorney, and performed guardianship hearings in Orphans’ Court. She was also a certified legal intern for the Allegheny County Office of the Public Defender where she was able to start representing clients in criminal court.

Throughout her time at the firm, she has developed a deep understanding of the criminal process in all counties in which we practice.
