Frank T. Luciano
Frank T. Luciano, PC |
Frank T. Luciano obtained his law degree at Seton Hall University's School of Law in 1973. Shortly thereafter, he began a judicial clerkship with the Honorable Guy W. Calissi J.S.C., a noted jurist and trial lawyer who had served as Bergen County Prosecutor for many years where he successfully tried and won some of New Jersey's most celebrated murder cases.
When he finished his clerkship in 1975, he started his own law firm in Bergan County where he remains today.
He has been litigating cases in New Jersey's criminal and civil justice system for over thirty years. As a young lawyer, he honed his trial skills as a municipal court public defender, where he worked for over thirteen (13) years. He is well-respected and well-received. Indeed, an appeals court in New Jersey noted that "defense counsel (Mr. Luciano) has been innovative and diligent in his defense in this case." He is committed to maintaining the integrity of the American Justice system by vigorously and intelligently testing legal and procedural principles that some lawyers may consider too well-settled to attack.
He is a member of the American Association for Justice, formerly the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the National Association of Criminal-Defense Lawyers, and the legal committee for the National Organization Reformation of Marijuana Laws. He is also a member of the Construction Law Section, the Criminal Law Section and Municipal Court Practice Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association.
He is well-published, having written a number of books relating to criminal and civil litigation. He has been interviewed and quoted by regional newspapers. He lectures on various topics and publishes a monthly article in a local newspaper on issues relating to drug and drunk driving prosecution as well as home-improvement contractor controversies. He is currently working on a new publication relating to liquor law liability (dram shop) cases.
While most of his practice is concentrated in the northern section of the state, his cases have taken him as far south as Ocean and Monmouth Counties.
