About Me
In addition to being an attorney, Franklin J. Rooks Jr. is also a licensed physical therapist. Mr. Rooks concentrates his legal practice on labor and employment matters, health law, and false claims actions. He has a particular interest in employment disability discrimination relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act, and its state law counterparts.

Mr. Rooks began a career in physical therapy, graduating from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy & Science (now the University of Sciences in Philadelphia) with Master of Physical Therapy Degree. He also earned a Master's Degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Prior to entering the legal profession, Mr. Rooks cofounded a chain of physical therapy clinics, which were subsequently sold to a private equity firm. While practicing law, Mr. Rooks also cofounded a chain of occupational medicine/urgent care clinics, which too were sold to a private equity firm. Much of Mr. Rooks' expertise in healthcare has been derived from his considerable experience in medical billing.

Mr. Rooks has published numerous articles on medical billing, medical practice management, and healthcare fraud.
