Posted by Sandra | August 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Grandparents Rights!

As a grandmother I was scared to death about the long road ahead of me to get custody of my grandchild, with all the horror stories I had heard. Frank explained how things would proceed and his staff kept me informed each step of the way. Tina was extremely helpful. The total cost was reasonable base...d on the time that he and his staff spent on my case. His firm bills in only six-minute increments. The whole procedure took about five months but he was able to get me legal papers stating that my grandchild was to live with me in forty-five days from the day I hired him. I couldn't be happier about the results. I recommend his law firm to anyone I know needing legal help with a family law case.

Dedicated and Successful!

Frank took the time to hear my concerns and understand my case. He was upfront and honest and I always knew what to expect well in advance of court. What set him apart was his main concern truly being for my children and what is in there best interest. It is so refreshing to have an attorney who genu...inely cares. I have another case coming up and needing to modify my child custody order and as soon as I contacted Frank he jumped on the ball! I can't tell you how much of a peace of mind that gave me especially when dealing with these type of circumstances which are already stressful enough. I would highly recommend Frank for divorce, child custody cases if you want someone concise and experienced.

My family law attorney for life

I consider Frank Mann my family attorney-for-life. He has been with my family, supported me, provided advice and legal representation over the last year. He has been by my side and helped me through many life-changing events. His application of family law was brilliant during a difficult child custod...y case. My paralegal knew what she was doing and helped me with the many questions that I had. I will retain Mr. Mann again if my ex does not follow the court order. I recommend Frank Mann and his law firm.

He won primary custody!

Thank you so much Mr.Mann! Mr. Mann got me exactly what I wanted. He had every thing in order for my case, making it that much easier to win my case. He went over and beyond my expectations. I'll definitely recommend hiring him for any family cases.

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.
