Jerry Lynn "J.L." Franks

J. L. was an outstanding attorney and among the best of the Worker's Compensation attorneys. His word was his bond and there was never a question as to whether or not he was working for his client's best interests. The Worker's Compensation attorneys are a close knit group and J.L. was a valued family member. We miss him. My sympathy to J.L.'s family. I know you have sustained a great loss.

J.L. was the first bailiff assigned to me. He helped me in so many ways and made the job a joy. Although I did not see him often after we left the courthouse, I will miss him.

JL will always be remembered as an excellent trial lawyer and one of the best storytellers of all time. He was an extremely proud Dad of his two daughters and often shared stories of their lives and accomplishments whether it was between trials or on the golf course. I only knew his daughters from a distance, but I can tell you both, you were his life and he was so proud of each of you. Like everyone else in the workers' compensation community, I will forever miss my friend. May he rest...

One of a kind.... Miss you every day my friend
