Francis Scahill

Biography

As Managing Partner, Frank ensures the firm’s commitment to the Golden Rule – responsiveness to clients. And the result has been long-standing relationships – in some cases for decades – with many clients.

His philosophy is an outgrowth of his background. A child of Irish immigrants, he was raised with the values of hard work and education. His parents struggled to build a life in the US and as a first-generation American, Frank felt a responsibility to succeed and live up to his parents’ and the American dream. He grew up in Rockaway Beach and attended Fordham and St. John’s University. He is an active alumnus of St. John’s and each year the firm offers intern positions to law school students.

Frank’s chief role as Managing Partner is overseeing litigation strategy for the firm. He is an accomplished trial lawyer with more than 100 trial wins; the majority with $1 million or more at risk. He draws on his substantial experience and insights to get results for clients.

Part of Frank’s own service to clients is authoring the firm’s highly-regarded newsletter “iNews.” Each month, he discusses decisions of note affecting the insurance defense industry and shares his own personal trial techniques under “Trial Tips.” He also regularly conducts in-house educational seminars for insurance carriers.

Pro bono is part of the culture of the firm. Frank believes in giving back and offers the firm’s legal services pro bono to the US Marine Garrison in Garden City and the US Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn.

Frank is most proud of his 4 children, all of whom have forged successful careers. Two of them are attorneys employed as prosecutors and the other two are teachers.
