Very grateful for Frank Bryan's expertise, professionalism and attention to detail during a very trying time.

Frank Bryan was instrumental in assisting us with a case and getting the best possible result for us. We could not have asked for more and the stakes were very high. He was focused on assisting us and fighting for the best possible outcome. He never took his eye off the ball in our case. Peop...le do make mistakes and it is nice to know that there is someone like Frank in your corner when something happens.

Professionals make mistakes too, in this case Frank Bryan wins.

From day one Frank was dependable and always available to answer my questions and concerns regarding my case. As a medical professional I had a lot to loose including my career. He fought for my case and won. The case was dismissed and I am forever indebted to him. He was personable, patient, and ha...d great rapport with other members of the court. I never had to answer to a secretary or assistant he handled my case 100% from beginning to end. He was honest and straightforward clearly explaining all my options, good and bad. Frank was genuine in representing me and wasn't just there to cash in a check.

Extremely Thankful to Frank Bryan Jr for his services and dedication to my case.

I can't thank Frank Bryan Jr enough for his determination and diligent interest in my case. Although I've used his expertise before, his performance and efforts were the same. He was very professional in his work yet made me feel like it was important that I get the best results for such an unpleasan...t situation. He not only succeeded by having my case dismissed but made my experience more manageable than i could have expected. He is Truly an outstanding attorney to say the least and one who I will refer and continue to use if need be. From a very satisfied client- K.

Smarter than your average bear

Great lawyer Was smart enough to hire a phycolagest to get involved from the get go. Had an issue medically induce. I held a gun to relative, then held the police at bay for 4 hours. He was able to prove that I was tempoary insane (which I was). The case was dropped prior to the hearing. With letter...s of support from my friends and information from phycolagest, he was able to get the charges dropped. GREAT JOB

Honest, Knowledgeable, and Outstanding character

I am most pleased to recommend Frank Bryan to anyone looking for a well qualified and experienced attorney. We hired Mr. Bryan to work with our local attorney in Dallas on a case that was filed in Austin, Texas. Mr. Bryan was always professional, honest , and provided excellent counsel. Once we unkno...wingly double paid Mr. Bryan for his services. He contacted us immediately to notify us of the error and returned the extra payment. In addition to his upstanding character, Mr. Bryan was easy to work with, listened attentively, and managed the facts of our case well. Our case was especially challenging since we were not living in the county where we needed representation. Despite this Mr. Bryan advised us and we were able to, in part because of his good work in preparing, avoid going to trial. Mr. Frank Bryan's services exceeded my expectations. I would hire him again and highly recommend him.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I first met Frank when he worked as a prosecutor in the Travis County Attorney's office and I opposed him as a defense attorney. When he became an assistance district attorney, I again had cases against him. I found him to be a hard-working advocate. When he was appointed by the governor as the judge of the 403rd district court, I found him to be a judge whose aim it was to be fair and just. And now in his current position as a defense attorney, I see him working hard every day to represent his clients and get the best possible outcome for them. Over the past twenty-some years, I have seen him become a skilled advocate who is always extremely prepared. Frank Bryan is a man of integrity. He is an excellent lawyer and advocate. I heartily endorse him."

"I've known Frank Bryan for over 10 years now. Frank's experience as a defense attorney, former prosecutor and former judge gives him the unique ability to evaluate a case from every angle. As others have said, his professionalism, ethics and knowledge of the law are second to none. I'm proud to endorse him."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. He is top notch. Frank Bryan was one of my mentors when I was a young Assistant District Attorney. He taught me a lot. When it's time for me to pick a jury, I frequently ask Frank to take notes on the panel of potential jurors. If I were asked to rate Frank on how his knowledge of the law, his ethics, and how hard he works, from 1-10 (10 being the best), I would rate him a 10, only because 11 isn't an option. Frank has been an Assistant District Attorney, a Special Assistant United States Attorney, a criminal District Judge, and has worked in the Texas Governor's office handling criminal matters. The depth and breadth of his experience is impressive."
