Whelchel, Kristen M.

Frank Lowrey’s practice focuses on complex litigation matters, including class actions, private antitrust suits and high-stakes appeals.

His experience includes the successful defense and prosecution of consumer, business tort and antitrust claims in federal and state courts across the country. In addition, Frank regularly appears in the state and federal appellate courts, typically to challenge or preserve the results obtained by other counsel who appeared before the trial court. His appellate experience includes the reversal of an intermediate appellate decision certifying a class action to pursue a claim for $110 million in statutory damages under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the successful defense of Georgia’s 2005 Daubert statute against a variety of constitutional challenges, and the preservation of various multi-million dollar judgments in the state and federal courts.

In one of Mr. Lowrey's most recent cases, he argued and won an 11th Circuit Appeal Upholding the Dismissal of Antitrust Claims Brought by the FTC in $195 Million Hospital Acquisition.  

Frank serves on the board of the Georgia State Bar Antitrust Section, and is a frequent speaker at State Bar and ABA-sponsored antitrust and class action seminars. Frank has been recommended for his work in the antitrust field by Chambers USA, Best Lawyers in America and by Benchmark Litigation.  

Frank has also developed a practice representing municipal and other regulated utilities before the Georgia Public Service Commission and the Georgia Courts.
