Law Firm Overview

The Law Office of Frank E. Mann has been serving the Houston area for over 70 years since being founded in 1932 by Frank E. Mann, Sr. I joined the firm in 1984 and took over the firm upon my grandfather's death in 1995. I have over 19 years of experience, and my primary focus is on providing skilled legal counsel and representation in the areas of divorce, child custody / child visitation, and child support / paternity matters.

My firm carries on the tradition of honest, dependable, straight-forward service first established by my grandfather, Mr. Frank E. Mann, Sr. In addition to being a practicing attorney, Mr. Mann Sr. was also a prominent member of the Houston community and a dedicated civil servant who served as a Houston City Councilman (1960-1980), Mayor pro tem for the City of Houston, and two terms as a Harris County representative in the Texas State Legislature.

After graduating from Texas A & M University, I decided to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and attended South Texas College of Law, where I graduated in 1983. I joined the firm as an attorney in 1984 and continue to serve the Houston community with the same type of Texas pride, honest work ethic, and commitment to excellence that my grandfather lived by.

I am a certified member of the College of the State Bar of Texas, an honorary society established in 1982 by the Supreme Court of Texas. The College is comprised of lawyers who strive for the highest level of legal knowledge and skills through frequent participation in continuing education. Among its ranks are numerous leaders in the Texas legal field, including many judges. Less than 10% of all Texas lawyers qualify to become members of this organization.

In addition, I am also a member of the State Bar of Texas, the Houston Bar Association and its Family Law Section, and the Federal Bar Association of the Southern District of Texas.
