We hired Manuel Perez Leiva along with Mr Martin McCarthy for a fairly simple law suit in July of 2018 for fraud committed by my father to my mother right after they got divorced. A fraud of hiding a sale of marital goods. Countless malpractice steps (purposely or due to a lack of legal knowledge and preparation either way disastrous outcome) were taken by Manuel until we had to fire him in 2019 and stay with the rest of attorneys which turned out to be also a big fiasco. We are seriously studying the case for malpractice against this corrupted and poor excuse for attorneys. We are presently paying thousands of dollars in liability for this guy's legal rep. Awful and totally untrusted behavior but specially Mr Manuel Perez Leiva should not be allowed to exercise any legal function, he is not suited at all. We believe there are several cases of unsutisfied clients but somehow just like all sleazy lawyers, he finds the way to erase any proof of his unacceptable behavior. We don't think he is suited for legal practice in any way. Anyone who exposes to his legal rep will undoubtedly suffer his unhonorable doings and poor legal execution to say the least. Do not hire this guy. ______ Spanish Contratamos a Manuel Pérez Leiva junto con el Sr. Martin McCarthy para una demanda bastante simple en julio de 2018 por fraude cometido por mi padre a mi madre justo después de que se divorciaron. Un fraude de encubrimiento de una venta de bienes matrimoniales. Manuel tomó innumerables medidas de mala praxis (a propósito o por falta de preparación legal con resultados desastrosos) hasta que tuvimos que despedirlo en 2019 y quedarsnos con el resto de los abogados contratados, lo que resultó ser también un gran fiasco. Estamos estudiando seriamente el caso por mala praxis contra esta corrupta y pobre excusa de abogados. Actualmente estamos pagando miles de dólares en responsabilidad por la pobre representacion legal de este tipo. Comportamiento horrible y totalmente desconfiado, pero especialmente el Sr. Manuel Pérez Leiva no debería poder ejercer ninguna función legal, no es apto para nada. Creemos que hay varios casos de clientes insatisfechos, pero de alguna manera, como todos los abogados sórdidos, encuentra la manera de borrar cualquier prueba de su comportamiento inaceptable. No creemos que sea adecuado para la práctica legal de ninguna manera. Cualquiera que exponga a su representante legal, sin duda, sufrirá sus actos deshonrosos y su mala ejecución legal, por decir lo menos. No contraten a este tipo.

Mostly good responses Spoke to him will contact me for further discussion if he can be if any assistance

Very knowledgeable and I'm impressed that he gave me an honest assessment despite the fact that he was recommending against me pursuing alternatives and thus not to hire him. Integrity!

Mr. Manuel Perez-Leiva's response to filing a bar complaint was spot on. I liked the fact he furnished the information so that a non-lawyer like me can understand. Kudos

i really apreciate the help from the lawyer manuel perez leiva he did a great job on my case thanks for the support and the help !

It is probably very rare that an opposing party will write a positive review on the attorney that initiated suit against him, but after seeing Mr Schu's review (I believe this was the same individual, whose real name is Schuster, that initiated suit against me that was represented by Attorney Perez-Leiva) I felt compelled to offer my perspective. Attorney Perez-Leiva was extremely professional and ethical in every respect. He genuinely sought to resolve the dispute as fairly, rapidly and inexpensively as possible while remaining a strong advocate for his client. While we were not able to resolve our matter to his client's satisfaction, I wanted to set the record straight as he made a genuine attempt to do so. In any circumstance that would not represent a conflict for me to engage him, I would be the first to utilize his services and I highly recommend him to anyone else.

Manuel is an excellent lawyer and mediator. He is hard working, intelligent and honest.

I have known Manuel since 2009, and can vouch for his integrity and professionalism. He is a fine attorney with a keen intellect, and he has my highest personal and professional recommendation.

I was very pleased with all aspects of his service.

El abogado Manuel Pérez-Leiva se dedicó a ayudarme a defender contra una demanda judicial por ejecución hipotecaria. Personalmente se ocupó con todos los detalles y logró la negociación de una modificación del préstamo hipotecario, evitando un juicio final, salvando mi hogar, y preveniendo que mi familia sufriera ninguna molestia.
