Louisville's Legendary Lawyer: Frank E. Haddad, Jr.

by Burton Milward Jr.

What type of man becomes a legend – one who laymen and professionals alike respect and want to emulate? When did the qualities that made him great become so ingrained in him that his honesty and integrity could never be questioned? Frank E. Haddad, Jr. became a legend in Kentucky as the most famous criminal defense trial attorney. He defended the most celebrated crime cases during the 40 years he practiced law. His childhood experiences, plus hundreds of lively anecdotes that shaped his uncompromising skill at seeking truth and helping others, are shared in this book of his life. Just as Haddad created magic in the courtroom, this book creates magic in our hearts, building the desire to emulate him. Written in a style that gives one the feeling of personally knowing Haddad, this book helps us celebrate the fact that quality individuals do exist, that a quality life can be built on principles of honesty and helping others. How Haddad tackled the challenges with clients and their problems makes for better reading than any fiction detective story.

Intelligent, witty

Frank accepted everyone for who they are. His intelligent, witty mind was always working overtime and his way to get you to acknowledge the real facts before taking on various cases.
