Highly recommended

I hired mister Andrew Mancilla as my attorney last fall. Mr. Mancilla constantly acted in my best interest and whenever I had questions or needed legal advice, he immediately replied to the point. I can highly recommend Andrew Mancilla as an attorney and would definetely consider him as my attorn...ey in any future incidents again.

Hardworking & Determined Lawyer!

Andrew is an excellent lawyer! He is responsive, hard-working, knowledgeable, and honest. He helped me in a really challenging shop lifting case. Additionally, he made sure I clearly understood the legal terms and outcomes. Andrew is very personable and easy to work with. His determination is unparal...leled and he worked extensively to receive an ACD and have my case dismissed.

Posted by Michael | February 24, 2015 | Business

serious, speedy, trustworthy, and effective

Andrew is a serious, speedy, and effective attorney. I'm sticking with him going forward, and feel I've finally found someone who I can trust and who puts my interests first. I had a wrongful marshall notice at one of my five businesses, he got it cleared the same night, despite having the flu. He ...then got me the settlement outcome I was looking for and it was only a matter of days from start to finish. I was able to leave behind that stressful situation and get back to work. I love this guy. -Michael Z, NYC entrepreneur

Best Attorney in NYC

Andrew Mancilla saved our business. From incorporation, through expansion, and finally in the settlement of our first (hopefully last) lawsuit, Andrew has been there for us every step of the way. He's offered us incredible counsel, working tirelessly and always putting our business's needs before ...his own. When, as a young nightlife company with very little capital, we received a lawsuit demanding damages equal to more than 20x our assets, we were terrified. We thought it would bankrupt us, destroy our business, and leave us penniless. Andrew was reassuring and comforting from day one. Over the following months, he fought tooth and nail for us, calming us in moments of despair and assuring us that justice would prevail. At the end of it all, he secured us a settlement that gave us a fresh start. Our business is back and our company is healthier than ever thanks to him, Bobby, Carla, and the rest of his team. But to us, as incredible as they were as legal counselors, that isn't what makes Andrew and his team the best attorneys in New York. Andrew has a personal connection to his clients. He has become more like a brother to us than a lawyer, he truly believes in our company. He attends our events, he actively promotes us and encourages us to succeed, and has been generous with his time far beyond the call of duty. As our business grows, we will grow with Andrew. If we face trials and tribulations, we will face them with Andrew. We will be forever grateful to his entire team for their dedication to us. So if you need an attorney who is creative, hardworking, and truly passionate about his work, look no further than Andrew Mancilla.
