Si bien Frank es reconocido como un destacado abogado en la industria de los cigarros, ha asistido a clientes en una amplia gama de industrias, como café, cerveza y licores, textiles, embarcaciones, software, alimentos y muchas otras.

En los últimos años, Frank ha sido contratado para participar en eventos nacionales como orador principal debido a su perspicacia única en la regulación de la FDA sobre el tabaco.
