NEW YORK, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP (WRSMH) mourns the loss of Frank J. Lombardo, a cherished partner and a stalwart advocate for his clients, who passed away recently. He was 60 years old.

Frank, who joined WRSMH in 2015, brought with him over three decades of experience as a defense attorney, which he leveraged to secure justice for injured individuals. His impressive legal career spanned numerous complex cases, and he was known for his fierce dedication to achieving favorable outcomes for his clients. His loss is deeply felt by his colleagues, clients, and the entire legal community.

A Distinguished Career in the Courts

Before joining WRSMH, Frank had an illustrious career as a litigator, having spent more than 30 years practicing law in both the New York and Federal District Courts. Frank's expertise and courtroom presence were undeniable, as he participated in nearly 100 jury trials during his career. His ability to litigate with precision and poise in high-stakes cases earned him the respect of his peers.

Frank also excelled in appellate work, successfully briefing and arguing appeals in the New York State Appellate Division, First and Second Departments, as well as the New York State Court of Appeals. His deep understanding of the law and its intricacies allowed him to secure victories even in the most challenging legal battles.

A Legacy of Advocacy for Injured Victims

At WRSMH, Frank's reputation as a highly skilled attorney continued to grow. His strategic legal mind and tireless dedication to his clients led to several multi-million-dollar verdicts. Notably, Frank was responsible for securing an $8.3 million verdict for a woman who sustained a life-altering spinal cord injury in a motor vehicle accident. Additionally, he obtained a $11.76 million verdict for a union construction worker who was struck by a falling object on the job and required spinal fusion surgery.

These cases, among many others, highlight Frank's commitment to ensuring that those who suffered due to accidents and negligence received the compensation they deserved. His ability to secure such significant results was a testament to his skill and determination as an attorney.

A Generous Spirit Beyond the Courtroom

While Frank was renowned for his professional achievements, he was equally known for his kindness and generosity outside of the office. He was a devoted family man, and he treasured time spent with his loved ones. Frank was also an avid music lover, attending concerts and immersing himself in the rhythms that brought him joy.
