H. Frank Stubbs

I am happy to say Frank was my friend. I have done many many depositions with Frank and he was always one of my favorite attorneys. Frank always had a way of getting what he needed out of a witness for the benefit of his client. Those of us who knew Frank at Groshong-Quaintance Court Reporters will greatly miss his great sense of humor and courtesy to all with whom he had dealings.

Rest in peace Frank. May God give your family the love and strength to get through this very difficult time.

The people of Washington state are indebted to Frank Stubbs for his courage and tenacity in never giving up the fight for the "little person" against government and big business. I will always remember Frank for his kindness to me when I was a young lawyer. To his family, I extend my heartfelt condolences for their loss.

Good-bye, Frank. Thank you for everything. Love, Elizabeth

In 1980 I was a legal intern in a Tacoma lawfirm that shared a building with a well known insurance defense firm. I remember one morning there being quite a "buzz" in that firm about someone named Frank Stubbs coming to negotiate a case they apparently had with this person. I didn't really know what to expect to see, but from all the commotion in this firm, I knew this person had to be at least 7 feet tall. Even though I wasn't working for that firm, I made sure my errands took me near the...

Like so many other attorneys, I never had the pleasure of knowing Frank Stubbs well, but heard his name in the halls of the courthouse many times. It was always in reference to a client he served and his devotion to the law and his client. I feel the legal community has lost "one of the great ones," who will be missed terribly.

Frank Stubbs' commitment to the civil justice system is legendary. All Washington citizens are indebted to him for his generous contributions of time, money and talent to preserve and protect their right to a trial by jury. He will be missed by many, but his legacy lives on in courtrooms throughout the state. I am lucky and proud to have known him and extend my sincere condolences to his family and friends.
