FRANK LUCAS
My Background
A northeast Ohio native from Barberton, I bring both strong academic credentials and real-world experience to my practice. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Akron Law School, ranking in the top 15% of my class. I served on the Student Bar Association and volunteered my free time to organizations such as the Akron Food Bank and Salvation Army. Prior to law school, I earned my B.A. in Paralegal Studies from Kent State University.
My commitment to service began early, with active involvement in organizations including the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, National Society of Leadership and Success, Kiwanis Club, National Honor Society, and National Youth Leadership Forum. I am also a member of the Akron Bar Association and the Ohio State Bar Association. My passion has always been helping people in any way that I can.
I joined the Mendenhall Law Group as a paralegal in 2018 and became an attorney in 2023. During this time with the firm, among many things, I have worked on a significant number of personal injury cases, helped those who were in trouble with abusive creditors, and helped with numerous administrative appeals.
Beyond the courtroom, I’m an active performer in Northeast Ohio’s theater community, appearing in over 30 musicals and earning a Best Actor nomination in Broadwayworld’s 2019 Regional Awards. When not practicing law or performing, you’ll find me attending church, exploring new adventures with my wife, or spending time with our Boston terrier.
