Biography

Some cases look unwinnable until someone does the work. Frank Mangiaracina specializes in taking on the most complex personal injury claims and turning them into exceptional results. As lead or co-counsel, Frank has secured nearly $200 million in recoveries for injured individuals and their families.

Frank's courtroom victories do not just compensate his clients; they change the law. In 2021, he won a $2.1 million jury verdict for a motorcyclist struck by a Domino's delivery driver. Domino's appealed, arguing a franchisor could not be held responsible for its franchisee's driver. In January 2025, the Pennsylvania Superior Court disagreed in a precedential opinion. That decision is now under review by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Super Lawyers Rising StarsThe National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40

Because of his relentless advocacy, Frank has been named a Pennsylvania Rising Star by Super Lawyers for eight consecutive years (2019-2026), an honor reserved for the top 2.5 percent of attorneys in the state who are 40 or younger or practicing 10 years or less. He has also been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers on their prestigious “Top 40 under 40” list.

Frank earned his law degree magna cum laude from the Temple University Beasley School of Law, graduating in the top five percent of his class. While at Temple, he was a member of the elite National Trial Team, staff editor for the Temple Law Review, and won multiple trial advocacy awards. He is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

When he is not in the courtroom, Frank enjoys a full and busy life with his wife, daughter, son, and their dog, Tony.
