Baker & Zimmerman law firm in Parkland now has a new name — which includes their newest partner Joshua Frachtman.

Parkland Mayor Christine Hunschofsky said that Frachtman was a wonderful person and an active community member.
“He has worked hard and deserves the honor of being named partner,” said Hunschofsky. “We congratulate him and thank Zimmerman & Frachtman for their involvement in our community.”
Frachtman, who was named partner in 2016, has amassed experience on a wide range of cases involving catastrophic automotive injuries, wrongful death, and other personal injury cases.
“I could not be more thrilled to welcome Josh into the leadership of our firm,” said Zimmerman, who added that Joshua is relentless when it comes to assisting clients and ensuring they receive the justice and restitution they deserve.
