Frank Cece was incredibly knowledgeable and provided an excellent defense for my unusual and somewhat complicated case. He traveled almost two hours outside of the City to defend me after hearing the details of my case. Often times (perhaps because he was a visiting attorney in my relatively small community), he was not provided the requested or required information from the prosecuting attorneys in advance of a court date making it necessary for him to act quick and sometimes only have a short time after arriving for court to prepare, yet he was brilliant and always provided an excellent defense. He truly cares about his clients and although I hope to never need an attorney again, I would not hesitate to utilize his services or recommend him to anyone.
This case was a process. The Justice system did not make it for easy for Frank or I. We started with the preliminary hearing. In this hearing during the cross examination he caught the officers in lies. It was obvious that the officer didn't remember his lies; unfortunately, this case was continued and sent to 26th and California to be heard with Judge Margaret Brosnahan. Next, Frank filed a motion for dismissal. Once again in this hearing the officer was caught in lies and couldn't recall his actions. With the officers testimony not making any sense; the motion was still denied. During the preliminary and the motion hearings I did not get to speak. I had to sit patiently and listen to a story that never occurred. At this point, we realize we did not have a chance with a bench trial so we decided to go with a jury trial. This case was continusely continued over a period of two years. At times I would tell Frank if he could speed it up the case. He stressed to me that this was a process and to let him do the worring. He assurred me that I would have my day in court to speak. When that day came I spoke and it was real testimony. I was loud during the testimony due to me patiently waiting for two years. The state tried to use that against me. Frank stressed to the jury that they witnessed a real testimony; fortunately, the jury felt my pain and suffering. After three hours of deliberation the verdict came in not guilty. Frank Cece Jr. was worth the wait and I would recommend him to others.
I took some time to print this, because I wanted to be objective. I can say he performed his job with a level of professionalism that exceeded my expectations. I think he is an excellent lawyer and would seek his advice again in the future.
One of the best.
Frank Cece, Jr. is an attorney that I admire and respect for his intelligence, charming personality, experience and accomplishments. I have known Frank for approximately 15 years.
