Travis Friend Interviews Frank Gray for Lasting Lawyer Project
As a self-proclaimed Chicago “Sout” Sider, Attorney Frank Gray reflects on his path to the legal profession in an interview with Attorney Travis Friend, whom he mentored for many years. An early interest in political science led Gray to law school at Valparaiso University, followed by military service in Vietnam and a career filled with memorable courtroom experiences.
Gray shares how serving in combat shaped his perspective and gave him confidence to face the challenges of practicing law. With humor and candor, he recounts stories from private practice and his time as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, closing with advice for younger lawyers: prepare thoroughly and trust your instincts when something doesn’t feel right.
