Meet the Bar Leaders: For Frank Carone, teamwork translates to success
Frank Carone, second vice president of the Brooklyn Bar Association, counsel to the Kings County Democratic Party chair and partner at the law firm Abrams Fensterman, took lessons that he learned from playing baseball with his father and applied them throughout his career, which has brought him to prominence in the Brooklyn legal community.
When Carone was young, playing in the South Shore Little League in Canarsie, he and his father would frequently fight over the kids his father Frank picked to play on the team. Carone wanted only the best players, but his father insisted that every player get an opportunity to play no matter their skill level.
Despite including everyone, Carone’s teams would always be competitive. He never won a city title, but would regularly make it to the semifinals and beyond. Years later, when his father passed away, many of those players who weren’t given a chance on other teams reached out to Carone in a way that really touched him.
