Frank Herrera, Jr. Attorney at Law

Known for his commitment to bringing justice to the underdog, Frank
Herrera’s famous line “Winning isn’t luck. It’s knowing how to fight”
epitomizes the devotion that has driven him to succeed.

It was the encouragement of Frank’s parents, Frank Sr. and Elvira, that
drove Frank to become a lawyer and consequently shape his future as
well as the lives of others. Born and raised in Edna, Texas, Frank’s interest
in law began while observing court proceedings with his father. He found
a hero in civil-rights lawyer Gus Garcia, the first Mexican-American to
argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Frank was accepted at St. Mary's University on a scholarship and graduated
with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and English in 1964. He then
began his legal education at the university's law school, a rigorous program
that he completed in only two-and-a-half years.

Admitted to the bar in 1967, Herrera served as an attorney for the National
Labor Relations Board. Two years later, he joined a labor law attorney with
the Law Office of Arthur Gotchman. In 1969,Herrera opened his own law firm
with the help of his parents, who refinanced their home to purchase Frank's
office furniture and equipment. Eventually, he formed Hardberger & Herrera,
an endeavor with Phillip Hardberger, former Chief Justice of the Texas Fourth
Court of Appeals. In 1983, Frank Herrera became the sole owner of The Herrera
Law Firm (known then as The Law Offices of Frank Herrera), a firm that truly
represents all of the life experiences and hard work Herrera had been working
toward since his graduation.

Frank Herrera also dedicates countless hours of his time, financial resources,
and legal expertise to causes in which he believes including the Mexican American
Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), St. Mary's University Alumni
Association, and Central Catholic High School.

Frank runs his law firm in much the same way that he runs his life—with hopes that
every move he makes will positively impact others. Frank is seen as a leader in the
courtroom and is sought out by attorneys across the country for his expertise in the
areas of personal injury, products liability, insurance fraud, construction accidents,
and labor and employment law, as well as perceived as an innovator in utilizing
courtroom technology in trials.
