Rising Star

Andrew Mancilla is a meticulous lawyer who worked tirelessly to help us when we were in our greatest time of need. Whenever I had a question, it was promptly answered. I was kept abreast of all court proceedings and never had to remind him about anything. My father was facing serious jail time in... what was considered to be one of the biggest mortgage fraud schemes during 2010-11. We were looking at the possibility of him spending decades in a federal Penitentiary. There comes a time in life when good people of moral character get in trouble with the law. It is imperative that you find the ideal legal council who is committed to staying on your case, treating you with respect and giving you all of their resources. While Andrew was working on my father’s case, he was at every hearing and made a constant effort to assure us that his office will do everything in their power to help remedy the situation. Andrew is truly a unique individual who possesses the traits that are required to be very successful in the legal field. Mr. Mancilla is a consummate professional who also has a great personality. Andrew’s work ethic is unmatched by any lawyer whom I have had experience working with. Even though he is great at what he does, Andrew displayed a genuine human side not often seen by colleagues within his own field. His focus on building a relationship with us enabled my family and I to quickly gain his trust. Working as a defense lawyer on a federal case is an extremely difficult task. Andrew helped to cut a deal with with federal prosecutors and then later played a significant role convincing the Judge that my father’s involvement was very minimal in the scope of the entire fraud case. Andrew’s knowledge skills and abilities ultimately helped us receive the best outcome we ever could have ever imagined. My father was sentenced to 10 months home detention and only 5 years probation. I truly believe that God sent us Mr. Mancilla, along with the other attorneys whom which he worked so diligently with. I highly recommend Andrew Mancilla for any legal matter that needs to be addressed. You will be receiving a world class attorney who is an excellent listener, never condescending, and has big time cases under his belt. You will be nothing short of pleased with his efforts in representing you.

Earnest, professional, accessible

Mr. Mancilla exceeded my expectations. As I was dealing with an out of state legal matter, he contacted a number of colleagues in Michigan regarding state-specific laws for my offense. On our first meeting, he presented a summary of the process by which we would resolve the offense. As developments i...n the case arose, Mr. Mancilla was always expedient in relaying the information to me. The matter was settled in a timely matter and with the utmost professionalism. I will use Mr. Mancilla's services in the future, and I give my full recommendation to anyone in need of legal counsel.
