Frank R. Jakes has established his reputation by representing clients primarily in the areas of intellectual property and commercial disputes. This has afforded him the recognition of several peer-reviewing web-sites including Who's Who Legal and SuperLawyers. He was also awarded a platinum recording plaque by the Florida Orchestra, but not for his musical talents. Instead, he represented the Florida Orchestra to ensure they received all of their recording royalties after a colloboration with Whitney Houston, the once popular pop-singer also known for small drug busts and domestic disputes, on the Star-Spangled Banner. After September 11th, when the nation became truly patriotic again, the song went platinum, but the orchestra didn't receive their fair shake from the recording industry, a situation which Frank helped resolve.
