About

Imrana L. Manzanares

Imrana Manzanares has been with Abraham Watkins since December 2009 and serves as the firm’s Nurse Attorney. As both a nurse and a lawyer, Mrs. Manzanares litigates a wide range of personal injury matters including home explosions, premises cases, automobile accidents, catastrophic injury cases and 18-wheeler accidents. With her medical background and legal experience, Mrs. Manzanares appreciates both the medical and legal aspects of every case. 

Mrs. Manzanares earned her Bachelors of Nursing from the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in 2002. Passionate about caring for those most ill, she worked in the Texas Medical Center’s Intensive Care Units. In 2004, Mrs. Manzanares began attending law school at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law. She found she could combine her nursing training with her legal training to assist clients and those most injured as a result of the negligence of another.

Married in 2004, Mrs. Manzanares enjoys spending her free time with her husband and two children.
