Custody Case / Family Matters

Doug Manion provided exceptional services throughout my months of working with him. Court and the judicial processes can so incredibly be daunting; he ensured everything was handled smoothly, promptly and explained so professionally. As my case was with child custody, he got me EVERYTHING I was looki...ng for. He made this overwhelming process so much easier for me and my family. He was a pleasure to work with; incredibly personable. Would 10/10 recommend to him to anyone, and have already referred friends and family to him. Thank you Doug!

Excellent Experience involving Reckless Driving Misdeamnor Court Summons

My experience with Attorney Manion was beyond excellent. Today's legal process has become overwhelming, and intricately maze-like. Other attorneys I spoke with about potential representation actually amplified this overwhelming feeling with vague explanations of the court proceedings, and instilled... doubt of the unknown in my mind, but Mr. Manion professionally reviewed my options with me in the most professional and respectful manner. He was clear and concise about my options, what we ultimately hoped to achieve as the best case scenario, and of course what to expect of the worst case scenario. On my day to appear in court, Mr. Manion argued on my behalf, which resulted in a surprisingly pleasant and quick visit to the courthouse. There was never a question of whether or not I could rely on Mr. Manion. Overall Mr. Manion is over-representative of the positive attributes a thoughtful attorney should have. I am not an attorney, and know virtually nothing about the legal system, but if I was an attorney I would recommend Doug Manion simply because I know from personal experience that he would give you great service at a fair price. I would 110% recommend him.

I would highly recommend Douglas K. Manion for a Divorce or Separation Case

Attorney Manion represented me in my divorce case. Attorney Manion was always accessible and went out of his way to address any concerns/issues that I had. In addition, Attorney Manion always had my best interests and the best interests of my children in mind. With Attorney Manion as my Attorney, ... I was represented by a highly skilled, competent and caring lawyer.

Car Accident Property Damage

Attorney Manion was very helpful throughout my case. He informed me of the possible outcomes and the likelihood of each and the steps to take in order to receive a lesser penalty. By following Mr. Manion's advice and direction, I was able to get off with a small fine. I would highly recommend him... to anyone involved in a similar situation.

Criminal Defense Case

Mr. Manion was knowledgeable and professional. He not only outlined how to proceed with my case, but kept me updated, and informed of alternative possibilities based on new information. I would highly recommend his services, and would call him again myself if the circumstance arises.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
