Litigating some of the state’s most contentious cases from his law office in out-of-the-way Wildwood, Frank Corrado says friends sometimes kid him about being the only ACLU lawyer in Cape May County. For the record, Corrado says there are others, but he’s probably the best known.

Besides his regular practice representing municipalities and handling real estate matters and civil rights cases for fee-paying clients, Corrado has a hand in many of the most important public interest cases in the state, frequently as a cooperating attorney for the ACLU. A former newspaper reporter and editor, Corrado took up the law out of an interest in First Amendment issues.
