The Frankowski Firm
231 22nd Street South, Suite 203
Birmingham, AL 35233
Richard S. Frankowski is the founder of The Frankowski Firm and has represented hundreds of investors around the country in FINRA arbitrations and civil litigation. His practice focuses on stockbroker fraud, consumer class actions, and shareholder litigation.
He serves on the Board of Directors of the PIABA Foundation, a public charity whose mission is educating investors to prevent investment abuse. He holds Martindale-Hubbell's highest rating, AV Preeminent — given to attorneys ranked at the top level for legal skill, communication, and ethical standards.
That background is why myLostLoot exists. Recovering unclaimed property is paperwork, identity verification, and persistence with a state agency — the same work, on a smaller scale, that Richard has done for investors for twenty years. And it's why a service that asks for your ID is run by an attorney with a name and an office, not an anonymous website.
