In another pro bono case, Mr. Franckel believed that a client had been wrongfully and illegally incarcerated by the District Court. Mr. Franckel argued a novel theory before a court of higher jurisdiction, that the criminal trial judge violated a completed contract and that the incarcerated defendant should be immediately released. The County Court overruled the lower court and immediately released the defendant from jail.

In another pro bono case, Mr. Franckel represented a family who was being persecuted by their landlord while committing fraud upon his mortgage bank, Mr. Franckel succeeded in keeping the family in the house for two years, after which the landlord lost the house in foreclosure and Mr. Franckel then successfully enabled his client’s family to purchase the house.

In another pro bono case, Mr. Franckel represented Linda, a veterinary technician, who was hospitalized and upon returning home found that her dog Luna was in a private shelter which refused to return her dog to her. Mr. Franckel saw the story on CBS TV and local News 12 TV and contacted Linda offering to represent her for free.
