I would like to wish a Belated Happy New Years to everyone. 2006 was a very strange and unusual year for claimants as it pertains to the Dow Corning Class Action.

Medical Studies have shown that there is probably nothing that you can place in the human body that the body will not attempt to break down. Silicone implants in the body are broken down over time through a lipolysis reaction. Most silicone-filled breast implants leak or rupture within 8 to 15 years.

FACT

In 1997, The Mayo Clinic found one in four women with implants will need surgery within five years for ruptures or other disfiguring complications.

FACT

What effect does silicone have on the enzyme system, cell membranes, DNA damage, interference with repair mechanisms and the effect on energy production?

TESTIMONIALS

The following are testimonials from clients of Stephen M. Frailich.

Dear Mr. Frailich,

I cannot believe the amount of settlement you got me. This is way more than what I ever expected. I have so many bills to pay. This money came at the perfect time. You are a angel sent from heaven. Thank you soooo much.

3/11/10 C.A. Phoenix, AZ

Dear Mr. Frailich and Staff,

I was shocked to receive your phone call telling me you had settled my case and for what amount. Wow. I had my lawyer for 15 years and he never answered any of my calls. The office staff was always rude. Your staff was wonderful. After having my lawyer for 15 yers, it took your office only 6 months to settle my case. God Bless You Mr. Frailich and your great staff.

2/17/10 H.L.C. , Houston, TX

"Mr. Stephen Frailich and Mrs. Reena Frailich,

Many thanks to you and your Associates for working on my Dow Corning claim. I could not believe the wonderful outcome.

I truly appreciate all your work and time working on my claim.

11/16/09 Arlene LaCroix-Hanson, Sun City, CA."

Hello Reena,

I was so surprised ( and pleased ) to read your letter and attachments (details of GCTS). Why you would go to such extends when you certainly were not required to.? I can't tell you how appreciate I am of your efforts to educate me , to help me, etc. . Why would you do these things? I can't imagine--all I can say is "Thank You". too bad the rest of the country doesn't have attorneys like you--maybe there wouldn't be "lawyer jokes" if so.

Don't think there are many attorneys as ethical as you

7/21/09 J.S., Tucson, Arizona

Dear Mr. Frailich & Office Staff,

Thank you so very much for all the time and hard work you have put forth on my claim. We sincerely appreciate all the diligence you've shown.

Sincerely,

6/11/09-S.S. Tuscon, AZ.

Stephen M. Frailich,

I am so thankful to you for being the kind of person you are. When one way did not work out you found another way. Your truly went the extra mile for me and got me far more than I ever hoped for.

I truly appreciate all the time and effort you put into to get this claim pushed through for me. You are very determined and that's what make you different from the others.

I pray blessings on your life, for helping others. A very grateful client!

3/11/09 Janice K. Hagstrom-Puyallup, WA.

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for the detailed explanation of our case being settled! YEA!!!!

(it was in February 2007 that I found you/your site on the Internet)

I am ecstatic and thankful that you were able to get the implant company's attorney to finally agree to the settlement!

Also, you were kind to shield me from the good news (MDL approved) / bad news (Implant company's attorney disapproved) of our case...until you could get the implant company's approval.

I thank you.

Since our initial conversation, I have been so impressed with you, your office AND your partner, Reena.

I will be anxiously awaiting the paperwork I am to sign & return.

Bless you!

2/2/09 S. K. Walnut Hill, FL.

Dear Mr. Frailich,

I just got my check today. I thank you from my heart.
You have no idea how much this check will help our distressed situation. God Bless you and your family.

1/12/09-Dolly Worn-Sebastian, FL.

Thank you for your genuine kindness, for all that you are and all that you give. Here is a picture of my husband and myself. I just wanted to let you see who you had be fighting for all these years.

God Bless.

1/6/09-Judy Bagley-Madison Florida

Dear Mr. Frailich,

Thank you so much for settling my claim against Dow Corning.

I appreciate your perseverance in bringing this case to a close, and the check came at a most opportune time.

I am so grateful!! Thank you to Rena, for her care and understanding of my situation. You are both pretty wonderful, and I'll keep you in my prayers.

A Million Thanks,

9/15/08-Sally Stern-North Miami Beach, FL.

Dear Mr Frailich,

I believe in miracles from above, I also believe in miracles on earth that are made by individuals like yourself. When everything seemed lost and I was out of options, you and your staff were there. I did a web search and you appeared first. After reading your web site I felt in my heart that you were the answer to my prayers. I was right. After 16 months a settlement was reached and I received the first check. Another one is due in January 2009. To top it off you are trying to qualify me for a higher level. Never before have I been involved with a more determined and persistent person as you.

Thank you and your staff for being there for all of us who were lost, confused, and at a dead end.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Gracias, Gracias, Gracias,

You will forever be in my prayers,

Truly Yours,

Dear Mr. Frailich,

Please forgive me if I sound rather gushy, but this has been building for over fifteen years. I am so very tired of being brave and strong. I am so very tired of feeling as if I am handling all of this alone. I know there are so many others out there going through exactly what I have been going through all these years, but that is still little consolation when the isolation hits in the middle of the night, when the pain won't let me sleep.

I have become so bitter and cynical. This is not who I am, or at least not who I used to be. I can't even talk to my doctors about it anymore. I feel they all just think I'm some sort of whiner or worse. I go to the doctor when I cannot stand it anymore. I tell only the bare essentials to alleviate my symptoms and that is only when I can't make it to Mexico to buy my own Prednisone or whatever I have been prescribed in the past. This has been my life for too many years.

Since our conversation last week, I have a new found hope. Please understand, it is not an unrealistic dream. I simply feel as if I have someone in my corner. Someone with the knowledge and experience to guide me. Someone with the understanding and compassion to keep me going. Someone willing to talk to me.

What ever happens in my case, I want you to know how grateful I am for you and your service. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the innermost, hurt little girl living inside this old women.

Sincerely,

8/23/08 Jo Lynn Hutto, Cleburne, TX.

Dear Mr. Frailich,

Thank you for much for your fine work on my case. I am so grateful to you and Reena. God Bless You.

8/4/08-Christine Fletcher, Big Bear City, CA.

Dear Stephen,

First, I want to thank you for fighting so long and hard in the Dow Corning Class Action Suit.

I am truly sorry my Mother did not live to see it won. But you have honored her memory and all her health struggles, so once again, I thank you on her behalf as well.

I wish you much health, happiness and all the wonderful things you deserve.

4/8/08-Madeleine Paredes-Miami, FL

Dear Stephen and Reena,

I just want to thank you both so much for helping me with this claim! I am very grateful. I wish I had not settled earlier with the MDL; but that was many years ago when my kids were little and I needed every bit of money that I could get. Too bad; I really never thought I would get anything from this, and I would not have if I had not found your firm on the Internet several years ago. Thanks again. I will stay in touch.

Sincerely,

2/23/08- Royce Davis-Seagoville, TX

Dear Mr. Frailich & Staff:

I want to say THANK YOU! I received my first payment from the lawsuit. You people are amazing. Everyone in your office has always been so nice to me. You all are incredibly organized in your record keeping and communication.

Your patience, tenacity and perseverance is changing people's lives. May God bless you and return the blessings to you abundantly.

With gratitude,

2/18/08 - L.S. - Valencia, CA

Dear Mr. Frailich,

I want to THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!! I received my check today. As I said Thank You for doing all that you have done and coming through with everything you have promised!! I cannot tell you how much it means to me. No money can compensate for all that I have gone through, but hopefully I can catch up on some stuff that I put aside. Again, I cannot say Thank You enough. I could have never done it without your office, there were too many things to understand!! God Bless!

1/14/08 Helen Fidler Pottsville, PA

Dear Mr. Frailich and Reena and Staff;

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for all your hard work in getting my disease settlement handled through the Dow Corning Settlement Trust Facility. I always believed in the back of my mind that there might be a chance, albeit a slim one, but when I got the call indicating that they had settled and got your check just recently, I was beside myself with happiness!

You never gave up on any of us! For that, and so much more, I thank you and wish you a Happy New Year.

1/5/08 Mary Hutchins Fort Worth, TX

Dear Stephen,

I just wanted to take the time to write you a letter to thank you for all of your hard work on my behalf in the Dow Corning class action, I just received my disease claim benefit award check ( long time coming) and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all that you and your staff especially Mrs. Zeidman has done in helping me to achieve this, taking my phone calls and being very kind and very helpful with all of my questions and everything else I needed. I want to thank you and everyone so very much.

I wish you the happiest holiday and a very happy new year to you and all of your staff.

With Best Regards

12/27/07- Wendi Tepper- Margate, FL

Dear Mr. Frailich and Staff,

First...I thank Almighty God...for you and your faithful staff and associates for making it possible for me to receive another fine check from the Dow Corning Settlement Fund. The money came at such a time to relieve me of one immense burden that was creating terrible stress in my life, so I call it miraculous.

And yet, it was due to your skill, intelligence, diligence and honesty and professional staff (Ms. Ellison & Company). To all of you, I am so grateful! I thank God for your continued good health and safe travel. May you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

11/16/07 - Elizabeth Blake-Ocala, FL.

Dear Mr. Frailich,

I have received my first check from the settlement, Thank You. I am so impressed with the way you treat your clients and I appreciate everything you have done. Looking forward to the next payment, a person could easily get used to this. Thanks so much.

Sincerely,

10/18/07 J.M. Fairoaks, CA.

Dear Mr. Frailich, Reena and Staff;

I want to thank you for all your hard work and perseverance in getting me this significant award. I had nothing but pain and discouragement for over ten years. I know it was God helping me when I came upon your web site.

Your dedication and hard work have helped me and so many women and I deeply admire and respect what you are doing. To all women, "Do not give up hope, hang in there!! There is light at the end of
the tunnel." With deepest gratitude. God Bless I.P.

10/16/07-I.P. Tucson, AZ.

Dear Mr. Frailich,

Today I received your check for the rupture.

I wish to thank you for dedicating your services to helping people like me fight a corporate giant. It just wasn't pure coincidence that I found your name on the Internet when I was looking up another subject matter.

Dr. Richard Jiminez, the specialist you sent me to in Seattle, was very kind and very thorough. Of course I hope I qualify for either A or B disease category, but even if I don't, the amount you were able to secure for me for both the explant and rupture, was more than I had ever expected from Dow.

Thank you again

9/4/07 C.C. Kent, WA.

Thank you, Mr. Frailich, I truly appreciate all your help. You are so ethical, organized and communicative that it has made this unpleasant ordeal easy and seamless.

You are providing such a wonderful, simple, knowledgeable service in this confusing, convoluted and never ending ordeal that I would be honored to help offer a lifeline to those who are in a desperate situation. God Bless You and Your Family Always!

Regards,

8/28/07-T.Y. Stuart, FL.

DEAR MR. FRAILICH AND STAFF:

I WANT TO START THIS OFF WITH SAYING; MR. FRAILICH, REENA AND ALL YOUR STAFF THAT HAVE WORKED SO HARD ON THIS LITIGATION, THANK YOU.

THERE ARE SPECIAL PLACES FOR ALL OF YOU IN HEAVEN. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE WONDERED WHY GOD HAS PUT YOU ON THIS EARTH, THIS LITIGATION WOULD BE THE ANSWER.

YOU ALL HAVE PUT SMILES AND A LITTLE HAPPINESS ON THE FACES OF ALL OF US WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PAIN AND DISCOURAGEMENT FOR SO LONG.

THE MONEY WILL NOT HEAL MOST OF US BUT IT TAKES AWAY THE ANXIETY OF KNOWING I CAN NOW AFFORD MY MEDICATIONS AND NOT FEEL AS THOUGH MY FAMILY IS DOING WITHOUT BECAUSE OF ME.

IF ANY OF YOU EVER FEEL DOWN AND UNAPPRECIATED, JUST THINK AND VISUALIZE THIS NOW, LITTLE OLD LADY, IN THE POST OFFICE PARKING LOT, WHO COULD NOT DRIVE HOME FOR 20 MINUTES BECAUSE SHE WAS CRYING SO HARD SHE COULD NOT SEE AFTER RECEIVING HER AWARD LETTER.

ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR HARD WORK AND PERSISTENCE.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL..........

TO (name of previous attorney deleted), SHAME ON YOU FOR SEEING US ALL AS DOLLAR SIGNS.( I THINK THE LEGAL TERM IS "DUMP TRUCK")...... YOU SHOULD BE HALF THE ATTORNEY MR. FRAILICH IS.

July 21, 2007 Linda Quelette-Milford, CA

Hello Mr. Frailich and staff:

I received the final check regarding the Dow Corning class action suit -- the end of an odyssey starting in 1992, I believe, when I responded to your magazine ad.

I just wanted to thank you for your consistently professional, prompt, informative and calm communications. The bureaucratic jungle was something to navigate, and I thought you did it so well.

The money I have received will significantly help my two children with their college educations, giving them a better start in the world.

Thank you again, and best wishes to all.

6/25/07-J.B. Middlebury, VT.

Dear Mr. Frailich,

Thanks again so very much for your help and support. For so many years I felt so alone with my health problems. I had almost given up hope of anyone ever helping me. Some thought I was a hypochondriac, others thought I brought it on myself etc.

Your law office has made my life much more bearable. I feel confident now that if my husband dies first, I will be able to remain in my home which I can then pass onto our beloved daughter. If I die first, the money that is saved will go to her. With highest Regards,

6/8/10-Gwyn Bunch, Forest Park, GA

Thank you so much for being so prompt taking care of my settlement. I appreciate your honesty and advice more then you will ever know. You have done something I never dreamed possible. You will always be in my prayers and I thank God you were sent to me when I had no where to turn. Other attorneys would not give me the time of day. They would laugh and say it was a big joke. Thanks for letting me regain some of my faith in humans. God bless you always.

6/2/07 - Sincerely, Linda Adams Fulton, KY

Dear Stephen, Reena & Staff,

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for your help and perseverance with my settlement. I received my settlement check in the mail today, and the relief I felt was overwhelming! It feels so good to finally have closure and continue with my life.

I believe God sends us angels to help us with life, and you are one of them.

5/25/07- Thank you, thank you. Patricia Risher Delray Beach, FL.

Dear Mr. Frailich,

I have received the final check. I just don't know what to say that hasn't been said already about you. To be honest, I was really skeptical at first hiring a lawyer that I have never met, plus I have not had good luck when it comes to lawyers. In fact, I really do not like lawyers, but you have changed my mind as I have never met anyone like you that really cares and doesn't make you feel like a little peon.

You never talked down to me and you always explained exactly what was going on with my case. I am sorry I had so many questions, but this whole thing was just too confusing for me to understand. After awhile I realized that I had picked the right person, as you got me a settlement for my rupture claim right away, when my other attorney said my rupture claim would never be accepted after first being denied.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I admire and respect what you are doing for women who received breast implants. You are in my thoughts and may God Bless You.

5/4/07- J.C. Las Vegas, NV.

Thank you Mr. Frailich for all your help. I am very satisfied with your services. I may need you in the future as well. Let keep in touch occasionally.

Good luck to you!

Sincerely,

4/24/07- B.C. Austin, TX.

Mr. Frailich: I have been negligent in sharing my gratitude and appreciation. Please thank Ms. Ellison for promptly informing me re: the specifics of my settlement check and always providing the answers to my questions.

I also wish to thank you for your professionalism and detail-oriented approach to providing your clients with the latest updates and excellent representation. You have been extraordinarily patient and persistent in a world that dictates immediate gratification! Your referral to Dr. Kashif was an excellent choice and I regret not being able to retain him as my physician.

Again, thank you for providing such high quality services. I am, for the very first time, able to purchase a little place to call my own. I am grateful and ecstatic!

4/8/07-L.H., Tucson, AZ

Hi. I had trouble with getting my mail. I,just received your letter. Yes, the address is correct. I know when you called I did not thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you very much, you are a great man. I love you. It was a long wait.

3/14/07- Thanks Again, Lorraine Roebuck, Youngstown, OH

Good Morning Stephen:

I received you letter, and am anxiously awaiting the check-I'm going to take my family on a trip--we've had a really rough start to this year and could use some down time.

I can't begin to ever thank you enough for all you've done for me, and for so many others (I've read those testimonials!!). You are truly an asset to your profession, and not only was I blessed with the most thorough, diligent, accomplished lawyer, I also feel like I found a friend. Even though we've never met, I feel close to you having shared this very personal experience together. You are truly unique!!

Now listen....you've waited long enough to open that champagne..........choose a special time to open it and toast to all the many many people you have helped in this battle and know how deeply we all thank you !!!!! You're the best!!

2/19/07 - Sincerely, Teri Price Brentwood, CA

Dear Stephen,

I just wanted to send you a note of great appreciation and thanks for 14 years of your time and concern for me. You went to bat for others like myself who suffered the backlashes of health consequences brought forth by silicone breast implants.

You hung in there with us, believing in our turmoil and sketchy future, after the damage was done. You are a special person who cares and you will never know how much gratitude I have for you. As this is wrapped up, I want to say God bless you, and your family, and that he brings you all good throughout your lives and your wonderful staff who were so caring and sweet all of the time. You can be proud of all of them.

2/14/07-Thank you again, your friend and client, Susan Parker, Alpine WY

Dear Mr. Frailich, This word of thanks is long overdue. I wanted to write you and tell you how much we appreciated your work in getting Leatrice's settlement.

Another thing I wanted to tell you was where the money went. Leatrice on her death bed told one of the daughters that if any money was received that it should be divided between our daughters and that an extra amount be given to Libby for the leg work. She stated that the girls had spent so much time worrying with her going to the Dr. thru the years, that she wanted them to have it. And that I had enough to live on of what I had.

Our oldest daughter died last February. Every cent went the way Leatrice wanted it to go. The oldest daughter has two children and their part is set up in a trust fund.

Thank you far a job well done. If I had one wish, it would be that Leatrice know how much she was awarded.

9/25/06 - Thanks again, James Ward - Verson, AL.

Dear Steve, It is with profound thanks that I say "thank you" for the wonderful news this morning - and for putting up with me for all these years. Your diligence, compassion, hard work, listening - I am so grateful for everything. At last it has ended. I really thought I would die before a check arrived. You fought to the bitter end, and moved more obstacles placed in your path.

I wish I were a prolific writer so that I could adequately express my feelings for what you have done for me. It has been a long battle. About 15 years. After dealing with an attorney in Atlanta for almost 10 years, he informed me (after much prodding from me), that I had no case. It took that long. I searched the Internet for an attorney who specialized in cases such as mine, and happened upon your web site. Upon reading every word printed on your site, I determined that you would made a wonderful attorney, if you would take my case.

Thank God for me, you agreed to do so. It has been a long trip, with ups and downs. Not ups and downs with you, rather stumbling blocks placed in our paths.

I have never met an attorney who is more than well-versed in the law, has deep and abiding compassion for his clients, leaves no stones unturned, will reply to emails and phone calls almost immediately, will keep you informed of the process (every step of the way), and will fight for you. Frankly, there are no words I can find which are adequate in describing your talent, compassion, and how you interact with your clients.

I hope this open letter will give everyone an insight to the abilities and compassion of this wonderful man. I truly believe that God (my higher power) placed him on this earth to give voice to those of us who have been damaged by the horrible implants we had put into our bodies - not knowing the horrific damage that would be done to us down the road.

Mr. Frailich, I believe that God surrounds us with angels as the needs in our lives arise. You are indeed one of my angels, and I will forever be grateful for what you have done for me.

9/13/06 Very Sincerely, Ginger Salvino, Statesboro, GA

Dear Mr. Frailich, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to you for your total support of my case. Thank God I found you on the Internet. Your continued concern and attention to detail as well as your faith in my claim persevered. After years of no response with a previous attorney you have been a blessing come true. You continued to be in touch, arranged for me to see necessary doctors. You were steadfast in your advice and support. With this type of help an achievement has been accomplished that I thought would never happen. I have received two checks that I thought I would never see. Once again Mr. Frailich, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loyal support and continued faith in my case. God Bless,

7/31/06-Mae Kummer-Alford, FL.

Dear Rena and Stephen,

Please forgive my poor manners! Somehow waiting for tomorrow to respond just did not come! I am so sorry because this has meant so much to me and I wanted you to know how thankful I am for all your office has done. Wow, you took my STUFF and made them see the facts!!!! Your office KNOWS THE CORRECT WAY TO DO THINGS FOR IT'S CLIENTS AND GET ACTION.......

THANK YOU....THANK YOU..... for everything.....

7/28/06- B.G-Uniontown, OH

I just wanted to say thank you for doing in 6 months what my former attorney couldn't do in 12 years! I was so surprised to receive a check so soon after all the filing. You are all "on the ball" and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Nothing financially will make up for the loss of time and ability to work full time in my profession, but that check represents all your hard work and lets Dow know that it's unethical and fraudulent to misrepresent their product as a lifetime device (at the very least).

I continue to have other symptoms that no one can identify, but I will continue the fight as long as I'm able. Thank you again.

6/18/06- Saundra McKeeman - Friant, CA

Dear Mr. Frailich, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I couldn't help but cry when I received my check today. I know it was a miracle that I happened upon your web site one day at work and contacted you. I am still in disbelief. God works in mysterious ways and whether we want to give him credit or not, down deep we all know he is in control of everything that happens in our life. After years and years of frustration, you will never know how appreciative I am for what you have done for me during this stressful time in my life. I just returned from Germany where my close friend died from cancer so you can see, the check I received at this specific time was very much needed.

What makes me so angry is that I had four doctors over the last ten years tell me "Forget it, you'll never get anything!" You are "THE MAN". Again, thank you for all you have done for me and may God bless you and your entire office. Gratefully,

6/1/06 C.B. Abingdon, VA

Mr. Frailich, it is a rare day indeed that a gift such as yours crosses my path. Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your experience of curing deficiencies on QMD reports for GCTS. Not only will this obviously help me, BUT MUCH MORE SO, IT WILL MEAN, AS YOU KNOW, THAT SEVERAL WOMEN (SOME OF WHOM ARE DYING SOON) WILL HAVE A GREATER CHANCE OF SEEING SOME OF THIS MONEY BEFORE THEY DIE. That is a gift worth giving and a great blessing to receive. Thank you on my behalf and theirs.

5/16/06 V.H. Esquire, TX

Thank you Reena, I appreciate your getting back to me. You and Mr. Frailich have been truly the greatest. I am so pleased with the hard work you both have done for all of us. I will always hold you dear in my heart for what you have done for me. God Bless you both and the whole office staff for putting up with my questions for the last eleven years. I feel like I know Gladys personally.

4/26/06 Trish Aquino, Summerfield, NC

Dear Stephen, Hurray! Your advice has aided in the acceptance of my claim. As you advised, I contacted my plastic surgeon asking for a supportive letter using the wording you suggested. Although he did not use the exact wording he did supply a letter which seems to have satisfied the required "proof of manufacturer" for a Cronin implant. I must thank you because I am sure without your expertise my claim would not have been accepted. I know that you are busy and, as you explained, you are no longer representing Canadian clients. Your generosity of time & talent surprised me and my friends. You give lawyers a good name. Thank you so much!!

4/14/06 S.P. Vancouver, B.C. Canada

Dear Mr. Frailich, I got my check (one of the first) for my rupture today. I can not thank you enough for the work you and your staff did on my behalf. What a blessing you are to me. When I asked God for a miracle little did I know that you were it. Thank you again for all you do for us ladies who deserve to be taken care of. Your a God send and I will see you in Heaven some day. For truly if anybody will be there it will be you. You believed in me and you fought, and you won. Have a blessed day.

3/24/06 Sincerely, Anita Murray-Fletcher, OK

I received an envelope from your office today, and when I opened it I almost fell down. If only Vida had lived to see the check, she was so depressed about this whole settlement thing and was positive that she would never get a dime, and frankly I did not think we would either. The money could not have come at a better time, still have a lot of medical expenses - etc. to cover. Thank you so much for your effort in keeping this alive.

3/23/06 Bob Carter Anaheim, CA.

Stephen, I have now received the cheque and your accompanying note. Thank you so much for returning it to me so quickly. Your generosity in the attorney fees was a very kind gesture and very much appreciated. You appear to have character & integrity next to none.

3/14/06 Patti L. Vancouver, B.C. Canada

Dear Mr. Frailich: Thank you very much for your kind letter. It is heartwarming to have a colleague in the legal profession spend the time to write such a compassionate letter. You are certainly providing a valuable service to those women who have developed symptoms following the implants.Your explanation of the rigidity of the Class Action Regulations was helpful. You are certainly correct in that in my career I have tried to provide patient care on the basis of the patient's well being and fairness and not on their ability to pay. That is why it hurts to find Janet's claim rejected on a technicality. It is sad that the legal system tends to move in that direction. I can remember the strange legal battle in the USA 2000 election results, with some individuals in Florida having trouble understanding the ballot and voting for the wrong person, with the court just saying "too bad". The word "justice" should mean a just decision as that is the meaning of the word, not just a rigid interpretation of the wording of a law which may not have been what the lawmakers intended in the first place.The SFDCT did not explain with any sensitivity why they wouldn't accept the best proof we could provide them. I asked for an appeal and got a one liner rejecting it. You mentioned the court appeal but I can imagine that will cost me more grief and expense and if the same rigidity applies to that level of the legal system, then its likely hopeless. It is strange that a country like yours which was founded on the principal of equality, fairness and justice for the settlers on the Mayflower has now got so entangled in the wording of laws that justice seems to have slipped through the cracks.I think you are a man that I'd like to meet. We will try the Appeal route you suggested and greatly appreciate your kindness in following up on my letter. Again thanks for answering our questions and your support...

3/3/06 Dale Palko M.D. Pender Island, B.C. Canada

Dear Stephen, It was extremely important for me to let you know how much I appreciate you being in contact with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan to file an Appeal and Request for Review, and what an outstanding job you and Reena did in documenting my case. After recently enduring a divorce that lasted almost 4 years, I am familiar with the Judicial System to know how many hours you put into this to make it so thorough. This is especially extraordinary for you and Reena never meeting me in person and not getting paid for performing this additional work. Also, my case is especially complicated with my former attorney passing away during this long arduous struggle against Dow Corning.

Not to keep going on, but there's even Miss Ellison in your office that brings humor to what could be uncomfortable situations on the telephone. Of course my Dow Corning implants were never in my possession after they were removed, but her and I had a good laugh when she called to ask me if by chance I had them.

Not only have you let me know you believe in me, but I clearly see that you are a person of their word that earns an honest salary as an attorney. (An attorney could so easily take advantage of clients that can barely fend for themselves!) Of course this doesn't guarantee the outcome of your cases, but at least you and your staff give it your best shot, which is all any of us can do in life.

I've always been a survivor, but it's time for me to be assertive and speak out a bit for what should rightfully be mine. Thanks for being that voice for me in reference to this Settlement, and I am hopeful for a positive outcome.
Keep up the excellent work, and let me know should you have any questions or concerns! Sincerely

12/4/05 K.S.W. Sacramento, CA.

Dear Mr Frailich, I received my settlement check from SFDCT from your office today. I cannot begin to tell you how glad I was to see that check in the mail today! As you have said to me on numerous occasions, the money will not give me back my good health, but it does finally provide me with some closure after 14 years, which is when I took my case to my previous attorney, who did nothing for me. The feeling of relief I feel is worth so much more than the money. In the last 3 years you have done an incredible job of obtaining for me, settlements from both the MDL and Dow Corning.

I am convinced that, your dedication, hard work and especially your compassion for myself and other women who have been harmed by breast implants, is what makes you such a special human being and a wonderful attorney. My previous attorney, who I believe I retained in 1991, did absolutely nothing for me and had he been my attorney now, I am convinced I would not have received ANY settlement whatsoever, ever! When I spoke to you for the very first time, I knew that I could COUNT on you to do what needed to be done to bring my claim to resolution. I did not worry even one day since you took over my case. I knew there were a lot of things that needed to be done for my claim to be submitted properly, in a timely matter and DONE RIGHT and you did them all! I never worried about that, EVER! Your frequent updates by mail, phone calls and emails kept me well informed about the progress of my claim. I tried not to call your office or bother you with constant emails as I just knew that you were doing everything that needed to be done and I trusted you would call me with important updates and you did! On the few occasions that I did call your office, I was put through to you personally or my questions were answered by your staff completely and courteously. My emails were promptly answered and sometimes you or your staff called me personally to inform me of updates. How nice to have an attorney who treats you like a real person!

When it came down to the last appeal and the Geoff White thing, you took the "bull by the horns" and said "this is what we need to do to get this thing going THIS year, not in 2 years"! And because of your efforts in getting the ball rolling and donations by myself and other claimants, claimants like me are finally getting paid this year! I was only able to donate $20.00 to that cause, but it was the best $20.00 I ever spent and I know everyone's donation no matter how small, helped to get the Dow going and helped thousands of other women finally get the settlements they deserve.

The one thing that really bothers me is that on my settlement sheet you noted the amount you have to pay my previous attorney out of YOUR fee as per your agreement for taking over my case. I feel that is a shame, that they will get paid ANYTHING as they did NOTHING. You deserved the entire fee and I was granted an absolute MIRACLE from above the day you took over my case! I really feel blessed!

I am forever grateful to you for helping me obtain both of my settlements and I sincerely appreciate your honesty, compassion, hard work, and dedication and I must tell you, you are one of a kind, Mr. Frailich!

I would say to any woman who has been harmed by breast implants and needs the BEST attorney to represent her, there is no one more qualified, more honest , more capable, more caring than Stephen Frailich! If you have a case, he will obtain a settlement for you!

To you Mr. Frailich, Ms. Frailich and your entire staff, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are the best!! Sincerely,

9/20/05 - Patricia Edwards - Lady Lake, Florida

Dear Mr. Frailich, Please add this email to the thousands you must be receiving that say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Like the others, I never thought I would see a dime from this class action lawsuit. I also thought I would never find an attorney that was ethical, professional, honest and caring in this world full of attorneys (and people) who are not. You and your staff are truly appreciated. You have restored my faith in believing that there are good people out there who do the right thing for the right reasons and that there is a light at the end of this tunnel! Sincerely,

9/03/05 - Michelle Morrison Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Steve, Thanks so much for your tenaciousness and conscientiousness trying to do the right thing for my case. It may not have ended with the results we were hoping for but we did OK. I have learned in life that it's better to try than not to have taken any action at all. Again I appreciate your efforts and respect your high ethical standards and sense of fairness. All the best.

8/20/05 P.S. Miami, FL.

"Thank you so much Mr. Frailich, I sat here and cried out of gratitude for your help. I had almost given up hope of winning my case. I have been sick for so long and can't afford the doctors as before. I thought maybe someday I would die a broken down lady with no help. Now maybe I can sleep a little better.

You will find from my records that I am truly a miracle and deserving of whatever you can do for me. Also I noticed in my surgery report that it said something about the broken implants were sent to pathology for examination and that the siliconomas were dissected out. Frozen section of one show granuloma. They were dissected out at great length. Anyway I know you can read but thought I would help you a little. Thank you so much, God Bless you now and always for what you have done and are doing for we women who where truly chemical dumping grounds for some very greedy people. Don't let them win, I have faith in you. I know the good Lord must have sent you my way, I asked for a miracle and there you were ready to fight for me."

7/22/05-Sincerely, Anita Murray- Fletcher, OK

Dear Stephen:

Thank you for the good news; I had faith in your determination, and I am very happy that it now has come to fruition.

When you called, I surprised myself by not jumping up and down. I do believe it was quite a shock and it took me a while to realize the light at the end of the tunnel.

It has been a long, long journey. Again, I am now jumping up and down.

Jump, jump, jump!

7/15/05 - Michele Samaniego - Spokane, WA

Dear Mr. Frailich, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of my emails, even though I am not a client of yours. How fortunate your clients are to have you for council. Had I come across your site 13 years ago, things would have been so much easier for my family and I. To date, most lawyers will not give you the time of day if you do not have a case or not a client of theirs, and even then, they dont get back to you when you have a question.

You truley stand out from the other lawyers out there, and I now feel bad for laughing at the jokes made about lawyers, you dont deserve to be lumped together with the others who make a bad name for those who are true professionals( in every sense of the word!).You care about each and every client, its quite clear! I think you are OUR champion Thank you for all your hard work in this long battle! You've kept US going! You are a shinning example of justice and its defenders! May the rest of 2004 be as positive and prosperous. I wish you the best!

3/11/05- Sincerely, Cheryll Last-Boston, MA.

Stephen, I got your message from Heaven Tues night about my settlement and what a welcome end to my day!!!! Bless you!!! I could not believe my ears and thank you for all you have done to help me.... I truly believe you have been a Godsend... and if my friend who works for Fulbright & Jaworski HAD NOT TOLD ME OF YOUR WEB SITE......... no telling where I'd be today..... I did get the release from claims office, as you said I would, and threw it away as you said you'd handle that. I thank you and wait to hear further from you if there is anything more I need to do.

2/4/05-Sincerely, Deborah Gibson-Houston, TX

"Stephen, I received a letter from the SFDCT, dated 11-29-04, indicating that my settlement (Domestic Claimants –Rupture 5) for $20,000 is being processed. The letter states that the payment amount represents the Base Payment. This check will be issued within approximately 3 weeks from the date on the letter.

Am I really on the verge of some closure to this long ordeal???? And, in fact, is this true that the check will be mailing shortly???? I am hesitant to get excited until I hear this information is correct from you.

Please, when you have some time, let me know what to expect. I truly appreciate all of your work and efforts, not only on my behalf, but on the behalf of thousands of women affected by this problem. It is such a good feeling to know there are still people out there who protect those of us who do not know what to do or how to do it.

Know that you are truly blessed and thought of often. Have a wonderful holiday and a prosperous and healthy New Year."

12/2/04 Sincerely, Jackie M.Noah - Canton, GA.

"Stephen, As the work day winds down once again, I found myself thinking of you and the wonderful and hard work you have done in my behalf. After spending nearly ten years "thinking" I had been qualified and would receive a settlement, I was shocked beyond belief to hear from my "lawyer" that I did not qualify and would receive nothing!

It was only through general net surfing that I was fortunate enough to find you. I was so impressed with your personal commentary that I just knew I HAD to contact you to see if you could be of assistance. From day one, you and your wonderful staff have been at the helm - directing me to the correct physicians for diagnosis, reading through box after box of medical records, promptly answering email inquiries, meeting all the necessary deadlines. What a shock to learn that BOTH my implants were ruptured and there were MANY diagnosis for the medical problems that have plagued me for years!

I do see light at the end of the tunnel. As someone else mentioned, any compensation we receive will not remedy our medical maladies nor alleviate our suffering. It will, however, pinch Dow Corning's bank account somewhat.

I am so deeply, deeply thankful for you, your perseverance, your staff's efforts, and for your putting up with my never-ending inquiries. Simply put, I am grateful for all you have done for me. Without you, I would be nowhere. I thank God that he placed a man of your integrity, caring, and perseverance on this earth. So many of us need you. Here's hoping the medical board will assess our cases soon!

From the bottom of my heart, God bless you and your staff and thank you for everything you do in our behalf.

10/14/04 Sincerely, Ginger Salvino, Statesboro, GA

"Dear Mr. Frailich, I just had to send you this letter to tell you how I feel. I am crying while I am writing this letter. For the last 12 years I have been going through a living hell. After being lied to by my doctor that my implants were safe and would last a lifetime, my health started to seriously decline. No one believed my problems were related to my implants. All the doctors I saw basically told me there was nothing wrong with me, but I knew different. I knew my body, and my body was being poisoned by these implants. The doctor who put in the implants would not help me at all, and has now retired and says he does not remember me. My husband left me with my kids and a ton of bills, and I am struggling each day to make ends meet.

The lawyer that I hired from the begining made me promises the day I hired him. That was the first and only time I have seen him. His staff was rude on the phone and made me feel like a pest, when all I wanted to know was what was going on with my case. God forbid this lawyer would ever have the decency to get on the phone to talk to me.

When I heard about you from a friend of mine, I did not want to start all over again with someone new I did not know. When I spoke to you on the phone (first time I have been able to speak with a lawyer) I knew you were different. You did not preach to me, you just listened to me vent and vent. When I was done, you simply told me in a straight manner what you could do for me. I decided right then and there that you were the man I wanted to hire.

Since that time, your staff has always been helpful and friendly to me, and did not make me feel small. You always get back to me, whether it is by the phone, letter or email. You have never let me down. When I received the letter from the claims board saying I was going to be paid, I was in shock that my case was finally going to be settled. I am still in shock now that I have received the money. I can never thank you enough Mr. Frailich for all you have done. You are unlike any lawyer I have ever met or heard of. I am going to have these implants removed now, and pray to God that my health will return. Us women who have had breast implants and have suffered for so many years, are blessed to have someone like you fighting for our cause. I never will be able to thank you enough for helping me in my time of need, and making me feel like a worthwile human being during the process. God bless you."

9/11/04-M.T. Los Angeles, CA

"Dear Stephen,

Please accept this bookmark as a small token of my gratitude for the work your're doing in my behalf and for all of us registered in the Class Action. I'm sure it's been very challenging and difficult. I guess as a lawyer your're somewhat used to dealing with difficult and challenging situation. But I'm sure that each situation has new twists and turns and new mountains to climb.

Thank you for all your hard work? The check you sent help enormously in my twisting, turning situation!"

9/4/04-DLS-Greeneville, TN

Dear Mr. Frailich: I wanted to take a minute to add my thank you to the many you've already received. One particular word comes to my mind when I think of how you've handled the many many challenges you've faced in this battle for all of us.....tenacious!!

Thank you so much for your persistence and determination...Needless to say, I am very excited that there is now a bright light at the end of the tunnel. It seems that every time I have a question for you, it is answered for me even before I sit down to write to you. My last question was one about what Dr. I need to see...I was just about to write, and then I got your letter explaining what's going on behind the scenes. I will wait to hear from you as to how to proceed with that. I have every confidence that you will succeed in this as well.

I am truly so thankful that I found you, and although I felt a little skeptical at first about handling all these issues with someone over the Internet, I know that I've chosen the best person possible to see this to the end. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!

4/25/04 - Teri Price, Los Angeles, CA

"Thank you for doing such a great job to facilitate the settlement. I haven't sent in a pledge because I have had to quit my job, but I'll send a small check anyway. I know there will be some people who don't live up to their commitment, so maybe that will help cover it.

Thanks again. You remind me of my really good friend who is also a lawyer....you two are definitely not the ones all the "lawyer jokes" are about!" 3/21/04 Sharon Collins

"Dear Mr. Frailich,

Your efforts and clear thinking on behalf of women like myself have paid off! We Dow implant women have a lot to thank you for. I am glad my small $50 contribution has served such a good purpose, and God willing, we all may receive Dow money before we die. I had lost faith after waiting twelve years for the inept TCC attorneys to make any headway with the despicable Dow attorneys.

I thank you and congratulate you on the Geoff White funding and on the remarkable, comprehensive web pages you provide. Wish you well in all your future endeavors."

3/22/04 Nina Flinn, Jupiter, FL.

"Dear Mr. Frailich, Thank you for your recent update, and all your updates for that matter! You are amazing in your diligence. I feel very fortunate to be among the group of people you represent. I want to thank you for having such a wonderful heart and the courage to not only think outside the box, but to act on it. I think the movement you have created is very honorable. The world would be a different place if all lawyers (and the general public) had your brains and integrity. I don't think this Geoff White should be our problem either, but I absolutely agree that is futile to stand on principal and so I have sent in a check for $25.00. I am willing to send more as we see how this is received. I pray all claimants will see the genius in sending a donation.

If the hate mail senders could get beyond blind emotion and do the math they would realize that a contribution of $10 or a little more is far less than the interest they will lose if they don't get their settlement for another 2 years!!

I believe intention has everything to do with what we manifest in our lives. Your intention here is clearly pure and I believe we will all be blessed because of it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you," 2/24/04 L.S. Rancho Mirage, CA.

"Dear Stephen, Our minds and hearts are touched by your letter. You are moving heaven and earth to get this resolved, and it will be resolved. You are to be applauded for your courage, fortitude and genius. We are so fortunate to have such a champion to fight for us. We are determined, along with you, to see this through to it's finish." 2/18/04 Fran Tunkel, Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

"Steve, I can't believe that you are saying thank you to me. I am the one who should and will be saying Thank you to you for the rest of my life. I am sorry that I did not answer you earlier. I have been very ill (went into a full lupus attack-figures doesn't it?!!!). That kicked in the MS in my legs and well you the know the drill. Don't mean to go on, just wanted to let you know that I was certainly not ignoring your email. By the way, did you take your fee out? That sure seems as if you are sending me more than I thought I was getting? You have earned it, you deserve it and you take it. Now, get your touche down here and I will be able to buy you a great dinner!!!! Is Mary able to travel? I would love to meet her too. God Bless you my friend. All my prayers and gratitude to you for all you have done for me. You are one terrific mench." 2/21/04 Barb Lucas.

"No one I have spoke with knows as much about this matter as Mr. Frailich. Too bad more people are not like Mr. Frailich. He is so very gentle and easy to talk to on the phone. He made this so easy for me. How can you complain about a man who has help so many very sick women across the U.S. I have sent 2 of my friends to his office and will always keep him in mind for myself and others. Thank you. God has a very special place in heaven for Stephen, when his time comes!!" 12/5/03 C.T. Vancouver, WA.

"Dear Stephen M. Frailich, Sounds like things are moving in a positive direction. I believe you will accomplish much on your trip to Birmingham and then Houston. I will pray for positive results and a safe trip. Thank you for being the person you are and never giving up. For standing up for things of such great importance. Your rare Mr. Frailich. Integrity is sometimes forgotten in our fast world today. When found, its much worth remembrance.

Actually, though things are moving quickly now, I've been arguing my case since 1993. I don't know how it will affect my case either. But it sounds to me that now at least its moving in "some" direction. All medical facts considered, I can't imagine how we could possibly lose. Besides, God and the best Attorney in the US is on my side. Let em' try to beat that combination! Drive or fly safely on your trips to far away places. I will look forward to hearing all about your trip to Birmingham and Houston. Hope to hear from you soon. God Bless, Respectfully." 9/19/03 A.R.B, Hillsboro, OR.

'Dear Mr. Frailich, Thank you so much for the e-mail I just received. It explains everything to me in a very clear and understandable fashion. Much appreciated

As you are well aware -- I would have got nowhere without your expertise and
continued perseverance in my case. Having sent the paperwork in myself a few years ago and then received word back that I 'didn't quality', I just gave up. After seeing your advertisement I figured there would be nothing to lose to contact you and ask if you might represent me. Thank goodness I did and also that I had kept all my paperwork and had that little blue card that was necessary to prove I had filed with them in the first place.

Over the years I was always impressed with your heartfelt dedication to getting through all the 'red tape' that seemed to be put up at every turn by courts and the company being sued. You probably hear what I'm going to say from many of your other clients. All your clients are very, very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and persistent attorney working for all of us.

I'm sure you've also heard from your clients that have qualified and have/will receive settlements that the money certainly doesn't remove the health problems we are experiencing. But... it does show that someone is being made accountable for a product that had serious health risks and more testing should have been done before this product was released to the public. I will say here and now that for all the money I will eventually receive -- it will NEVER even come close to making up for the misery I have and will suffer from the implants. But there is consolation in knowing they are acknowledging they did wrong and that they must pay for their greed in putting a product on the market before it had been fully tested.

The clients you represent are so very fortunate to have you fighting for them. And I do mean fighting as it sounds like the implant company has some pretty 'dirty' people working for them. How fortunate for the general population that there are honest and decent lawyers out there that are sticking up for the 'little guy'.

Thank you again to you and your office staff for all you have done for me over these years. I never once felt that I was not being kept informed. Your constant e-mails and snail mails always reassured me that I was a priority on your list of clients."

Most sincerely,
8/20/03 Sharon Clymer, Sun City West, AZ.

"Dear Mr. Frailich and Wonderful Secretary: I would like to thank you both for being so nice and helpful on my implant settlement claim! From the very beginning, Mr. Frailich, you have been most helpful and caring. In working with your secretary also, she is so nice and actually reads the documents, phones with questions, and cares. So nice to have such a strong team on my side! Thanks" 6/24/03 B.D. Irvine, CA.

"Dear Mr. Frailich: Thank you so much for your prompt response. I was initially intrigued by your personal commentary, and must say, I have been very impressed with your taking the time to answer my questions quickly, and to offer advise. I am not used to doing business over the Internet, but feel confident that you are the right person for this job. I know I could take the time to put this together with the package Dow Corning sent, but would much rather have someone take it off my hands, and advise me along the way". 5/9/03 T.P. Brentwood, CA

"Dear MR. FRAILICH, Thank you for keeping me informed, most lawyers don't take the time to care once you sign the dotted line. I don't know you but it seems you were heaven sent. I feel relieved to have you represent me". 5/7/03 L.A. Fulton, KY

"Dear Mr. Frailich, I received my settlement check in the mail today. I want to thank you for all of your efforts on my behalf in the class action. In the short time that you represented me ,(compared to my other attorneys!!) you were able to settle my case in a timely manner and kept me well informed of the progress throughout the whole process. It has been a long and weary process for me. I felt confident in your ability and most of all your integrity and feel very fortunate that you took a closer look at my file and did the right thing. You saw from my Doctor's reports that I more than qualified and deserved this settlement. Even when the claims board tried to stall the process with their little games, you remained as tenacious as a "Pit Bull"! You have renewed my faith in the Law profession! I sincerely appreciate all you have done." 1/15/03 Sincerely, T. E. Margate, Florida

"Dear Mr. Frailich, I do not know how to say THANK YOU to you in so many words but your kindness and consideration to my concern is most commendable, you are a most wonderful human being. It is a comfort to me to know that I have your tireless effort and support." 1/17/03 - J.I. Thornhill, Ontario, Canada

"If I did not have Mr. Frailich, I would not have gotten anywhere with the MDL Class Action. Mr. Frailich was excellent at keeping me informed about my case above and beyond any other attorney I have ever dealt with. His staff was extremely professional.....they deserve a raise. Mr. Frailich's people skills were excellent and he was most informative with his explanation of the case. I would highly recommend him as an attorney who cares. You may use my comments and if you would like, you can have potential clients call me at my home phone." 12/30/02 K. D. Westmont, IL.

"Dear Mr. Frailich: Just a brief note to say a sincere thank you for providing me with invaluable information and for taking time out of your busy schedule to look over all the "reams" of paper I sent to your office for review; you didn't have to do any of it! I can only say that the folks who have you as their attorney are indeed fortunate. It is quite obvious that you are caring, resourceful, intelligent, a man of his word, and work within time-lines that are kind to everyone. I genuinely wish my situation were such that I could make a change in legal counsel. God bless you as you fight the difficult battle for women over breast implants of silicone gel. Even though you're not "my" attorney, you're "my" hero -- you're telling my story on your web page. If you wish, you may certainly use this as a testimonial as to the kind of individual *I* believe you are." 11/18/02 G.S. Brooklet, Ga

"Dear Mr. Frailich, I wanted to write you a short letter, to thank you for your "Excellent" Professionalism, concerning my implant litigation. You completed a 10 yr. litigation in 6 mths. Your time frames were "amazingly" on time. Your promptness in returning my calls was also a rarity. Your secretary was very helpful, if you weren't there, she made sure you received my messages. I feel lucky, and honored, to have found an attorney, that is the best at what he does, and got me three times the monetary outcome than I expected. To have you represent me, was not only lucky, but was truly a blessing. Thank you, Mr. Frailich, and "God Bless You," for helping so many people. PS This is not a confidential letter. Everything in it is true, and should be known. Thank You." 11/12/02 G.T. Carmichael, Ca.

Thank you so much for your quick response back to me. It is nice to talk with an attorney who explains what is going on. I am interested in dismissing my attorney and having you represent me. I feel more comfortable and confident that you will be looking out for my best interest. I take this very serious, because I am the one in pain, I don't want to be just another number. In just this short time, I feel you have acknowledged me as an individual and you have given me the information I needed. Thank you so much for caring. Sincerely, 11/9/02 T.C. Blue Eye, Mo.

Thank you for your effort in this matter, for without you, I still would be fighting with them. I went into a class action on the premise that I would not have to hire a lawyer and they "the claims office" forced me to hire a lawyer after 9 years. I believe that they were not fair in the handling of this claim. I would have liked to known about Mr. Frailich before I decided to go into the class action, but of course, I did not." 10/9/02 R.S. Toronto, Canada

This card was the closest I could come to express just how grateful I am to you, and how much I appreciate all you have done for me. Thank you-just 2 small words. However, they are 2 words that mean the world to me. I only wish I could look you in the eyee and say these words to you. You have brought hope and encouragement to me in an otherwise bleak and hopeless world. I can't begin to thank you enough. I look forward to the day that I can say thank you in person, but until that day, know how grateful I am to you and your staff for all your help, and hard work. I thank you with all my heart and soul. I look forward to the day I can hug you in person, so until then, consider yourself cyber-hugged!!!" 10/7/02 B.L. Miami, Fl.

"Steve, ......thank you for speaking with her. Of all the attorneys I deal with across the country, you are the most thorough and responsive. That does not go unnoticed around here! Tom" 9/6/02 Tom Young, Attorney. Director for InjuryBoard.com.

"Dear Mr. Frailich, Thank you very much for your prompt response. I looked on the WEB to try and ascertain the most desirable Attorneys involved in the MDL 926 Class Action & Dow Corning Bankruptcy Claims. I was very impressed with your statement reference what is not known rather than what is. I feel most all of us women wonder about our health in regards to the long term effects of the implants as the years go by. The testimonials were very encouraging of your integrity. I comprehend that you have a more desirable & personal approach to ones concerns than most Attorneys and I find this admirable." 8/9/02 M.A. Dothan, AL.

"Thank you very much for all your help. It it were not for you I would have never known about further settlement from my case. The only regret is you live all the way west in Calif. and I am here in Fla. I would use you again. Thank you for everything! " 6/28/02 K.C. Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.

"Mr. Frailich, It was so good speaking with you today. You truely are a Godsend!!! Thank you for all your help & support. I don't know what I would have done without your expert help. Thank you again for everything. God Bless on the wings of the angels. 5/5/02 B.L. Delray Beach, Fl."

"Dear Stephen, I'm still in shock. I keep looking and looking at the check in disbelief and praying that nothing will happen to make the dream disappear. Thank you so much for all your hard work, determination and most of all faith that it would turn out the way we hoped. I really am stunned that this has happened and am so thankful for everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you," 3/30/02 K.B. Corona Del Mar, Ca.

"Hello Mr. Frailich, Just wanted to thank for you for mailings to us in the hinterlands, who wait and wait for some action on the breast implant suits. I appreciate not only efforts to communicate, but your interest in presenting a thorough and detailed explanation of the vagaries of the legal process. You make even-tempered remarks and never condescend to your clients. Thank you very much," 3/19/02 J.B. Cornwall, Vt.

".....any time I called, Mr. Frailich always took my calls and had time to talk to me and explained everything to me. His staff was nice and cooperative. He was right on target. I love him without even meeting him. He is kind, considerate and very sweet!!," 2/20/02 H.S. Aventura, Fl.

"Steve was very knowledgeable throughout the case. Steve's assistant, Gladys, was really great, and would love to meet her someday. We were very pleased with Steve's skills, and think he is a wonderful guy. No complaints of service, just wish I could have seen Steve again to take him to dinner." 12/8/01 C.R. Boca Raton, Fl.

"Dear Mr. Frailich, Since the breast implant crisis occurred in 1992, we have supplied countless numbers of certifying documents with breast implant information for our patients, in an attempt to assist them and their attorneys in filing with the Class Action Settlements. In all these years and with all those letters we have never, ever received a thank you note back from any of the attorneys that we have assisted in helping our patients. You are the absolute first and I have to thank you so much for taking the time to acknowledge our efforts in going back through the records and surgical logs to retrieve the information. We do it with pleasure, knowing that it will assist our patients in obtaining some financial remuneration that they certainly deserve. Usually we are treated with rudeness by an attorney's paralegal or even the attorney himself, with demands as opposed to requests, and never have we received any thanks for the time and effort it takes for the nurses to go back through these logs to locate this information. If there were more attorneys such as yourself, the doctors would certainly have a much higher opinion of the law profession. Your letter was very heart warming, to say the least. 2/21/02 Dr. J.B., Winter Park, FL.

"Dear Mr. Frailich, Thank you so much for your help in obtaining a settlement for me under the MDL-926. We received our first check in early December and it's sure coming in handy!

"Dear Stephen, Excuse me for saying this…but I am so impressed by your professionalism, your promptness, your client interest based practice. My three-year odyssey with attorneys has been so fraught with stress, frustration, lack of communication and irresponsibility that I lose my hope in the profession. My late husband was one of the few attorneys that I felt acted in a conscientious manner. If I had the strength and financial resources I would take them to task. I think they are not fit to practice law. Then you come along and give me hope. I, of course, want the DOW matter resolved to benefit us all, but what gave me the encouragement that I need is your moral, ethical, kind behavior. God bless you, you are a jewel among men."- 4/1/01- M.G. Victoria, B.C., Canada.
