In Memoriam: Frank Lanak

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Frank Lanak, Founder of Lanak & Hanna, on the evening of February 5th.

His commitment to excellence, integrity, and service to clients defined his career and left a lasting impact on the legal community.

We honor his memory and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be greatly missed.
