My son and b I couldn't be happier!!!!

I'd like to start off by saying I strongly recommend you hire Mr. Mann if you are going through the nightmare of divorce and you want/need someone on your side to help and prepare you for what's to come. 1. I am a real person(if you don't believe that feel free to look me up) 2. People watch too ...much T.V. in real life you don't just hire an attorney and a musical montage later they get everything they want. There is work to be done on both sides of the table. To begin I'd like to say that I couldn't believe(and am extremely grateful) that he took me on. It was literally my "hail mary" effort to get an attorney as it was 7 in the evening and my court date was the next morning at 8am. He personally spoke with me after hours and listened to my story(I had been trying to get an attorney with no luck due to time constraints and financial reasons), agreed to help me, and even made his first appearance in court to help me based off a phone call and my story. My X and her lawyer were trying to rush through everything so she could screw me as much as possible and we're stopped dead in their tracks thanks to him. She was going for custody, child support, and every single one of my possessions and was on the verge of getting it even though she was the one who cheated, and I was the one who always took care of my son, if it weren't for him. He helped me get ready for, and told me everything that was going to happen, when, and what I should do to prepare (homework). I'm glad to say that it all ended in mediation literally in about an hour, when they we presented what we had to the mediator, just 5 days ago in fact. I can honestly say the outcome couldn't have been any better......I now have my son (which my son is so much happier now he's with me), and all of my things. So, I can say from personal experience, LISTEN AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HE SAYS, DO THE HOMEWORK HE GIVES YOU, AND YOU WILL GET THE BEST OUTCOME POSSIBLE. Although going through the divorce process can flat out suck, some good can still come from it. I am still in disbelief from how quickly my x (and her lawyer) folded, but when you are prepared properly good things happen. Both my son and I will always be grateful for all he did for us, and he will always be the part of our lives that brought us together. We cannot say thank you enough!!!!!

Really good Family Law Attorney

I am happy that I hired Mr.Mann to handle my divorce.All of his hard work and dedication really paid off in the end. He took the time to listen to my problems and explain to me how the legal process worked. He was able to get results I wanted. I always felt that he and his staff had my best interest ...at heart. He prepared me for issues that came up and got them resolved.There were times when I wanted to give up but he helped me get back on track. He never backed down from any situation. My paralegal kept me informed and was helpful. Mr. Mann's strategy and experience got me results that I wanted. I would recommend Mr. Mann to anyone who needs an attorney with family law experience. He is good at what he does.

Excellent Attorney

Frank Mann and his entire support staff were very professional in managing and executing each step of the dreadful divorce process. The divorce was not something I wanted; Frank took the time to understand the situation, my needs and wants, as well as educate me in my rights and the process to come. ...Frank was diligent in taking on the burden a divorce creates, keeping me promptly informed with each development from opposing counsel and always protecting me and my best interest as a professional and a father. Divorce is an ugly thing that can happen for a number of reasons and can have a number of outcomes for better or worse, but i couldn't imagine having a better lawyer in my corner than what I had with Frank Mann. Frank, you are the best at what you do. Thank You!

Great Attorney and staff

Mr.Mann represented me in my divorce case. It was my first time having to hire an attorney.Mr. Mann and his staff did a great job! My paralegal was easy to communicate with. We did most of our communication by email. I had Mr.Mann's email and he was easy to contact. I thought my divorce was going to ...take a long time but his office got it completed in four months and I got what I wanted.Mr. Mann and his staff were very professional and they kept me informed about my case. They were very knowledgeable about the law and they explained how the process works. I am so grateful that Mr. Mann was very straight forward in explaining my options. His experiences really paid off for me. I would use his services again if needed.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Public Reprimand issued in TX, 2015

updated on 05/16/2016

Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Frank’s comment:

“This public reprimand involved an issue with Mr. Mann's paralegal. Mr. Mann instructed his paralegal to file a Motion to Mediate for a client, but she did not timely comply with Mr. Mann's instructions which caused an unnecessary delay for the client. Mr. Mann took prompt action against the paralegal by a reprimand and dismissal from employment. Mr. Mann accepted a public reprimand in this situation because he took responsibility for his paralegal's failure to act.”

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 1990

updated on 01/23/2019

Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.
