Frank Soohoo
Associate
Starting in real estate as a New York State licensed salesperson 20 years ago gave me a deep passion for the industry. Over the years, seeing families and business owners deal with complex legal issues—such as slip-and-fall liability, unprepared estates heading into probate, contract reviews, traffic violations, and encounters with law enforcement—inspired my latest venture.
That is why I founded LegalShield Defense, operating as a Certified Independent Associate for LegalShield.
For 52 years (since 1972), LegalShield has protected individuals and businesses. Named a Forbes Advisor Best Pick for affordable legal coverage for four consecutive years (2023–2026), LegalShield serves over 4.5 million members. As a member, you get 24/7/365 access to top-tier legal support—something standard attorneys simply can't match at this rate.
