Frank F. Sommers Law Office

Mr. Sommers is an IBM systems engineer turned trial lawyer who grew up in Europe and who speaks four languages. He has spent the last thirty years applying his computer training and international experience to trying complex business cases in federal and state courts. These include intellectual property, software and computer system development contracts, whistle-blower, business breakup and, Internet defamation and privacy cases.

His computer background informs his legal practice, both substantively and in connection with the multiple software systems needed to collect, store, analyze and present at trial the huge volume of electronic evidence that a modern case generates. His international experience allows him to handle both international dispute tribunals and to appreciate cross-cultural and cross linguistic differences that are often required to understand why a given witness or party has acted as they did.
