Hiring Frank Mann and his team was THE BEST DECISION I made!

It has been a pleasure working with Frank Mann and his team! Mr. Mann fought for me and was able to get results and fast. After working with another attorney out of state for 4+ years, my complicated child support case was transferred to Texas and I hired Frank. That was THE BEST DECISION I could hav...e made in advancing my case and recovering child support and arrearages owed to me going back more than a decade. In addition, Frank was able to negotiate my legal fees and interest owed on the arrearages which resulted in a more significant judgment than what I was initially seeking- essentially more money in my pocket to take care of our child. Frank and his team leave NOTHING ON THE TABLE and fought for my daughter and I every step of the way. They are experts in family law who get started immediately once hired and get you results effectively and efficiently. I was proud to be in court alongside Frank and I could see that he was clearly the power-player during the discussions with opposing counsel. I could see the opposing counsel was intimidated and out of their league in dealing with Frank. I loved it and took satisfaction in knowing I had hired THE BEST. There are lawyers and then there are LAWYERS- Frank is the latter and you can't afford NOT to have him on your case. In the end, I was so pleased with the service I received from Mr. Mann and his team that I actually sent a large fresh fruit arrangement in gratitude. This is how it should be. Frank and his team are rock stars!

Great service

Frank Mann is an attorney who goes out of his way to provide concise and realistic answers to all questions relating to family law and divorce. He worked with me to execute an agreed final divorce agreement with my wife in the most expedient way possible. We achieved this without hassle, without cr...eating extra cost, while devising a peaceful agreement. Mr. Mann and his staff were easy to work with. Thank you so much for your professionalism.

Top Notch Attorney

Attorney Mann was a tremendous help during my child support case. He treated me not just like a client, but as a friend. I never got the feeling that I was “just another case”; Attorney Mann treats every client as if they were his only client. He was a great help to me and my family, every step of... the way. He was knowledgeable, patient, and completely professional; and he helped me stay that way too. When you are in the middle of a family law case, especially a child support, custody or modification, it is often because you have been betrayed by someone you trusted and it’s good to know you can at least trust your attorney. I’m glad I hired Attorney Mann and had that trust to make sure that I made it through this painful process as easily and as painlessly as is legally possible.

I live out of state and hired Mr. Mann!

I live out of state and needed an attorney in Houston. Mr. Mann did a great job for me! I always felt like I was getting straight forward legal advice. We did everything by phone and email. He was sensitive to me having to come to Houston for my family law court appearances and mediation. He was ...able to settle my case and I didn't even have to attend court in Houston. Thank you Frank!

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.

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.
