When you see Frannie sitting at the opposing counsel table, you just know you’re gonna be in a world of pain. Not only is her courtroom demeanor something to admire and emulate, but her objections and crosses are prophesized thousands of years in advance to whoop you when the time comes, even when she probably had to memorize fifteen.

Outside of the courtroom, though, we’re all incredibly lucky to call Frannie our friend. If you have ever traveled with her anywhere, you know how magnetically funny and cool she is, and her personality and caring spirit have lifted the spirits of all of us at RUMTA.

Our shining angel has come so far, from being unable to pronounce “burglary,” she can now say difficult words like “Hopson” instead of “Thompson.” Despite your inability to pronounce most words in the case packet, we love you, Frannie!
