We are extremely pleased with Mr. Portela and his team of attorneys. They are highly responsive, trustworthy and knowledgeable. We hired Mr. Portela based on his 20 years of experience. He has pretty much seen and handled all types of cases. Before accepting my case, I asked how confident he was in r...egards to a forfeiture case. He said that he was "very confident". Mr. Portela did not disappoint. He worked meticulously on the case and produced very favorable results. It could not have gone better.

Manuel Portela, Jr. handled the closing of my NYC co-op several years back. He was very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kept me abreast of everything throughout the process. He made closing day a breeze and made things easier for me, at a very reasonable cost as well. I wo...uld unhesitatingly use him again in the future, if the need arises. And I would strongly recommend him to new and prospective clients. A+!
