Frandley D. Julien
Frandley D. Julien handles a wide variety of cases in the areas of personal injury, immigration, wills & trusts, criminal defense, and family law. Frandley’s professional work is strongly informed by his personal experience as an immigrant who had to wade through uncharted territories to carve out his part of the American Dream. Similarly, he approaches each case as an opportunity to make a difference in the life of the client and puts all the resources of the firm to contribution to achieve that goal.
He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Florida International University’s Honors College. He was presented with the FIU English Department’s “Outstanding Achievements in English” award. He successively won First and Second Prizes in Essays at the Honors College’s Annual Convocation Contest. He obtained his law degree from that same institution and was presented with the “Outstanding Contribution to the Trial Team Award.” He is also a member of the Phi Theta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, and Tau Sigma fraternities.
Upon graduating from law school, Frandley worked as a prosecutor in Miami-Dade County, before opening his own practice in North Miami Beach. He speaks both Creole and French with native proficiency. In 2017, he published a book, Les Non-Dits de l’Affaire Guy Philippe, in which he explains the confluence of Haitian, American, and International laws through the international law concept of “extraordinary rendition”, taking as an example the apprehension in Haiti of a senator-elect by Haitian police, his subsequent transfer to the United States where he stood trial for conducts that occurred in Haiti.
Frandley is regularly on Haitian radio and television and has published numerous pieces in The Miami Herald, the Sun Sentinel, Jamaica Observer, and Haiti’s Le National, of which he is a partner.
