Mark Frankel owns and runs Frankel ADR, LLC. He is also the firm's leading lawyer. He has been a judge and an attorney for a long time, and now he is starting his own business to offer ADR services everywhere, even online.
Mark Frankel knew from a young age that his job was to help people. He didn't want to waste any time, so he started practicing law as soon as he got his J.D. from U.W. Law School in 1973. During law school, he worked as a clerk for U.S. District Judge James E. Doyle. After graduating from law school, he started his law firm with two other people. They called it Frankel, Langhammer, and Pines.
The youngest judge in Wisconsin who has been elected
Mark Frankel did his job at Frankel, Langhammer & Pines with ease, and many people noticed. People took notice of how hard he worked for his clients and the community. Frankel was the youngest judge in Wisconsin history when he was elected to the Dane County Circuit Court. He had only been out of school for six years. Mark has since left that job, but he still works for the people of Wisconsin as a reserve judge for the state.
Frankel would be Wisconsin's most creative judge for the next 20 years. His strong reputation came from the many firsts he made in the courtroom and how different cases were settled. At the time, judicial mediation was not very common or well-known in Wisconsin. However, the mark was known for giving litigants the chance to resolve smaller disputes without going to court or spending a lot of money on it. This made it possible for people who wanted to keep their money and peace of mind to settle out of court without their business being made public.

"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Complete

FWB Friends With Baseball
~Fully revised as of 1/25/2022~ Jailyn James is a 20-year-old college student attending UWM for her Sophomore year as a Marketing Major and the standout softball star at the D1 college. With a pretty good fake and a pair of friends, where will a night after an incredible win by the Brewers take them? To his place or hers, and what do you call two people that are still 'Just Friends'? (This story will deal with mature topics, as well as have probably a decent amount of smut (it's not a smut book there will just be a good amount in it throughout the story) in it given the actual definition of FWB, in the heavier topics I will do my best to put trigger warnings If I feel it necessary!) I DO NOT OWN EVERY CHARACTER INTHIS STORY! THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. HOW I WRITE SOMEONE IS NOT IN ANYWAY A REFLECTION OF HOW THE REAL LIFE VERSIONS OF THE CHARACTERS I USE ARE IN REAL LIFE!Complete

Going the Distance ✔️
"Is it still a no?" He asked, his voice was deep yet soft at the same time. "Hard and cold." "Oh, come on, Lou! Live a little. I can be your tour guide and show you around town. It'll be fun!" "And why not after school or in the weekend?" "Because there's no thrill to it. Please, Louisa." He asked again. I sighed. "What's in it for me, Liam?" He chuckled. "You get to spend time with me! Liam Gilbert, your tour guide, the guy you come to when you don't want to study!" "Let's make a deal," I smirked, "if I ditch with you then you have to study with me." He looked unsure and I knew he didn't want to. I shrugged. "Okay, I'll see you at home." He moaned. "Fine, but you have to ditch me right now." My face lit up like a Christmas tree and I was truly surprised. "Okay, let's go." * There are a few rules when it comes to ditching class. Rule number one: Don't tell anyone. The teachers, your siblings, your parents. Rule number two: If anybody asks where you were, always say you were sick and rule number three is to have fun. Louisa Shepard didn't know what she was getting into when she agreed to ditch school with Liam Gilbert, her host brother. She had the perfect attendance record, she studied in her spare time and she never missed a class a day in her life. Until she went to America in exchange and met Liam, the guy she could not get away from. Liam did not care about school.

If Liam wanted Louisa to ditch school then he would have to study with her. Louisa had no idea what she was in for when ditching with Liam and some days, it goes further than just ditching class. Louisa and Liam are just going to have to go the distance if they want to keep up with each other. All Rights Reserved 2017 © Sarahxox_16Complete
