Frankel’s practice is primarily devoted to wage and hour litigation representing employees in numerous national, regional and statewide class and collective actions seeking to recover unpaid overtime and minimum wage. In these actions Frankel has taken on business of all sizes ranging from local companies to publicly traded corporations.

Perhaps most importantly, Frankel has navigated  cases through each stage of litigation from the initial case investigation to filing the complaint, the class and collective action certification, through engaging in discovery and depositions, dispositive motion practice, pretrial procedures, trial, and appeal. His knowledge and experience in each phase have earned Frankel a reputation for being one of the most thorough and detailed attorneys in the field.

Testifying to Frankel’s exceptional skills and persistence is colleague Patti Syverson, also an experienced class action and employment law attorney and a shareholder in Bonnett, Fairbourn, Friedman & Balint PC. Although based out of the firm’s San Diego office, Syverson frequently joins Frankel representing clients here in Arizona.

“I have worked with Ty for over 10 years and have greatly enjoyed the experience,” she says. “Ty has taught me so much not only about the practice of employment law specifically, but about vigorously representing clients in general while conducting oneself in a professional manner. Ty strives to practice law – and simply live his life – while always holding onto the highest ethical standards. He is an asset to our profession and our community.”

“We have eighteen attorneys,” notes Frankel, “And we have ‘big firm’ capabilities. We have class actions that are national in scope and are equipped with great technology to be able to handle the volume of documents associated with such large cases. The employment group itself has multiple attorneys and Patti is an excellent example of the kind of talent and experience we bring.

“Basically, our resources and capabilities I would without hesitation stack up against any other firm regardless of size.”

It’s important to note that while a ferocious champion for his employee clients who have suffered an injustice by their employer, Frankel is above all else a fair and open-minded man. Just because he fights for the rights of wage earners does not mean he automatically paints all employers as bad.

Appreciating the complexities of the ever-changing labor laws, Frankel offers education and counseling to employers about employment law practices, including matters involving compensation, employment policies, hiring, separation from employment, internal workplace investigations, and disability accommodations.
