Client-centric teamwork are not buzzwords to Frederick and his firm, Franke Beckett LLC. As the firm’s managing attorney, Frederick makes sure they deliver first-rate estate and trust services to their clients. For his estate planning clients, this means that their concerns are addressed and an estate plan constructed to meet those specific concerns. As part of the process, CFAAC is discussed as an important option to clients who want their philanthropy to support local nonprofits. The firm has been working with the Community Foundation since 1998.

For more than 35 years, Frederick has specialized as an estates and trusts lawyer. He has been a Partner at Franke Beckett LLC for more than five years. Prior to that, he was the Principal at the Law Office of Frederick R. Franke, Jr. LLC. Frederick is past chair of the Council of the Estates and Trusts Law Section of the Maryland Bar Association and is a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC).
