My wife and I needed to make our last will and testament. We were told of other firms, but Shannan Fields office was more highly recommended. We felt welcomed by the 2 administrators as we walked in. The friendly, professional, and understandable service we experienced was amazing. Shannan made us feel welcome and comfortable. We met with Shannan with the information she requested. Picked up a draft for review. It was easy to understand the entire legal package. Soon after we finalized our wills and left with an original and 1 copy. The process we had been dreading was finished in no time, and we couldn’t be happier. What ever legal matters we have in the future The Law Office of Shannan Fields is more than capable of handling it.

Marianne Hoke won my Social Security Disability case. From the begining she explained the process with encouragement to not get discouraged as it can take some time. During the process, she kept in touch with me and typically answered a text quickly. I admire her composure, her work ethic along with her commitment. Marianne also has a warmth and a compassionate heart that propels her to win for her client. She truly wants to help those who are hurting so she puts into practice her vast knowledge of the law to help her client as quickly as possible. I was grateful and beyond pleased with her excellent representation for me. I was also touched that she truly cared. If you need a lawyer who values you and will fight for you to win your case, call Marianne Hoke. I'm so glad I did.

Marianne reviewed my Social Security Disability case and accepted; She worked with me from the beginning. She advised me on what evidence would be needed to assure our case would be accepted and we wouldn't have to work though the denial process. Her professional approach from start to finish made the process much less stressful. I felt from the beginning that we would be successful. We were accepted from the application which is not the norm. I am positive without her help that we wouldn't have had the outcome that we achieved. She understands the process and how to keep her clients focused on what has to be done to achieve the cases success. Bottom line, she cares about you! If you need an attorney hire her and you won't be disappointed.

Marianne provided us great confidence from the very beginning that our Social Security claim will be settled sooner rather than later. After being denied claims a couple of times prior, it was just what we needed at the time. We would have saved ourselves a lot of time, emotion and money had we went with her from the beginning. I would encourage anyone in need of guidance and counsel to contact her as soon as possible in the process.
So much weight has been taken off our shoulders. Looking back on it, she kept us informed throughout the entire process. Told us what to expect, gave us best and worst case scenarios, there were no surprises.
It would be difficult to find a kinder, better informed, more knowledgeable counselor in the county.
We wish her the very best in the future, God Bless her.

Absolutely, amazing. Kevin Mawn is a very intelligent person and in my opinion, he is a godsend. He literally got results faster than he’s ever gotten anybody’s done within three months, and that is lightning fast speed for results. If you are looking for a good law firm that is reasonably priced and will get the job done. I totally recommend this law firm.

Attorney Ginko is the best attorney I have ever came across.
He is very professional and knowledgeable. He is not one of these lawyers that tells you a line an
d there for the money.
His cost is reasonable. You don't have to sell an organ.
Also, he talks to you and explains things you can understand.
He is excellent. I feel I couldn't say enough good about him.
I will always use him.
Thank you Attorney Ginko

In our joint Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Attorney Praver answered all of our questions, even as simple as they seemed to us with direct and easy to understandable answers. Very professional, easy to reach promptly by phone or email and kept us updated with meeting dates and classes. He handled all calls and emails personally. He kept us on task as this is an emotional and difficult situation to go through. Would highly recommend him.

Mr. Steele is a lion in the court room. He will go all the way to the end and doesn't back down. He just delivers. Many years of experience and it shows. My case was very difficult but his paralegal Miss Nadia, walked me through all the necessary paper work and answered all my questions, and I had a lot. Mr. Steele will work crazy hours on your case if needed. Weekends as well. Do not hesitate to hire him. He is a flat fee lawyer so there's no " we had to review your case for 8 hours × $350/hr " surprises.

You are not going to get a better attorney for your personal injury claim. Ms. Riley does the kind of meticulous preparation that scares defense attorneys. She tells the truth to her clients, gives reasonable expectations, and is extremely professional about her work. If you are injured in an accident your choice of attorney is the most important decision you will make. If you care about your working relationship with your attorney, your case preparation, and the professional respect that gets a better offer from the other side, you should choose Ms. Riley.

There are not enough words in the English dictionary to describe the gratitude I feel for having been a client with Mrs. Hawkins and her staff. It’s truly concierge level of customer service and expertise. Their follow through, their ability to answers all your questions and completely give attention to as an individual makes all the difference when you’re dealing with Worker’s Compensation and

Sam is wonderful! He was thorough and kept us informed every step of the way on our case. He's clever and knows the law to a tee. He helped us navigate a horrible "justice" system keeping us aware of all the possible pitfalls and found us the best solution possible. His price was much more than fair. We'll miss you Sam. Happy retirement!

He will be quick to sell you out. He acts like he’s going to help from the beginning and will go through everything that happened with you nicely but when it comes time, he will make an easy plea deal. He’s friends with the judge and everybody there. He does his job to make it easier on them. He convinced me to take a plea deal… even when I said no. Then he went up to the stand and said he’s not going to take this GENEROUS OFFER, making me feel stupid and embarrassed. He said I could still change my mind and I did. What a terrible mistake! Don’t hire this guy! Now I’ve dealt with real good lawyers and see how they work to truly help you. I ended up getting convicted of my offense due to a very poor defense attorney. Other lawyers said that would have never happen with them.

I hired Richard Manzo to write a simple letter about a real estate matter. The first appointment I was hesitant but unfortunately I retained him. He would not do anything else until he knew that the check was good. We made a second appointment and which I was stood up. Mr. Manzo was a no-show. Call me later in the day wanted to meet. I came prepared with all the information he would need neatly written down. When I gave him the paper he said he could not see it so I read it to him. A day or so later he request for me to send him the same information by email Richard could not get my name correctly and he seem to be quite confused on who I was the buyer or the seller. I’ve pacifically told to wait and see what happens. But he decided to make phone calls and the only thing he accomplished was embarrassing me.
He even had to email me to get my phone number and then when he called me the TV was blaring out in the background. I am pretty sure he does not work with a paralegal from what I understand his son is helping him. I do not know what his legal education is. When confronting Mr. Manzo seems to think his incompetence is normal.

I hired Mr. Manzo a few years ago to take over my divorce case after it was handled previously by two other attorneys who I felt did not handle my case properly and kept litigating in court for over a year and a half and overcharging me for their services. Mr. Manzo charged me a flat fee of $10,000.00 and took over my case. At first, I felt that he was very expensive and that I was trapped and had no other choice but to hire him since no other attorney was willing to take my case and I was exhausted of all this. Mr. Manzo did everything he can to avoid going to court, he listened attentively and kept me informed and we worked on a settlement with the opposing party. I trusted him entirely and was happy with the final agreement. Even afterwards, if I had any legal question, I would call him and he was there to guide me and give me legal advice at no charge. Two years later when I found out that my former husband was making more income, I wanted to take him back to court for modification of child support; I called Mr. Manzo again to represent me in court, he advised me that the judge will have more sympathy for me if I would represent myself, and to show that I am not wasting any more money to pay for legal fees. He answered all my questions at no charge, I was very confident and filled out and filed all the legal papers by myself and appeared in court as a "pro se". I was prepared to fight alone and got an increase of nearly $300.00. Mr. Manzo is an experienced and skilled attorney, he is very competent and has a good work ethic.

There are not enough spaces for the very(s) that I want to put, but very, very upset with that LACK of service. I am pasting an email I sent him, because phone calls never get to him.
Good afternoon Richard Manzo,
As discussed in mid October, I requested you set up a hearing for modification of child support due to my upcoming Oct.31st layoff. I emailed you my layoff notice and waited for your response. After several calls to your office, mostly getting the answering service, I got nowhere. I scheduled an appointment with you to talk about the case overall. You informed me that the 10,000 dollar retainer that I started with was all but gone, MUCH to my surprise, and all you could, do was draw up a modification request, that I would have to submit to the court, my ex, and any other required party. You never asked if I could afford another retainer, you never offered any information for an indigent party in my circumstance, you never laid out any expectations for me going further. In essence Richard, you accomplished nothing. You served me in the worst possible manner I could ever imagine from ANY profession, much less, one where people could go to jail due to a lack of response. That was a frustrating day for me, obviously. I asked you that afternoon for my file, and for you and I to go our separate ways. Your response was to give you a call and let you know of my request??? Still wondering what that means...? Currently, I am trying to get through this very difficult situation without counsel, and I know I should be used to that by now, but Michelle's attorney cannot speak to me because you still haven't withdrawn as counsel. I would like you to get that done as soon as possible. If there is some reason that you can't withdraw from my case, please let me know. I have left several messages over the last two weeks with your office for my file, so that I may proceed with my case. I have not received my file, a call, an explanation, or anything. One last time, will you please withdraw from my case and send my file, or call me and I will pick it up!
