Frank Wolferd

Frank Wolferd

The Merrillville and South Bend offices of Blackburn Romey are home to Attorney Frank Wolferd. He originally received his bachelor’s degree in 2005 from Indiana University and received a paralegal studies certificate from Roosevelt University in 2006.

For Frank Wolferd, practicing law began not in a courtroom but on the front lines of case preparation — he spent years as a litigation paralegal before ever arguing a case himself. That hands-on experience shapes how he practices today: methodical, detail-driven, and unwilling to walk into a case without having done the groundwork first for his clients. This preparation allows Frank to be a strong advocate for his clients to get the results that they deserve for their injuries.

Based out of Blackburn Romey’s Merrillville and South Bend offices, Frank is a dedicated advocate for Hoosiers and their families who have been injured or lost a loved one. Frank understands that other’s negligence can turn a person’s life upside down and is committed to guiding clients through every step of the legal process with compassion, clear communication, and strong advocacy.
