Best Personal Injury Attorney

We highly recommend Michael Manoussos & Co PLLC as personal injury attorneys. As a fellow lawyer, I had exceptionally high expectations when I turned to Michael Manoussos for assistance with our personal injury case, and I can confidently say he surpassed every one of them. Michael and his team are u...nparalleled in their field, combining deep legal expertise with a genuine commitment to their clients' well-being. From our initial consultation, where they meticulously reviewed our case, provided an honest assessment and outlined a strategic plan, to the final resolution, Michael impressed me with his professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication, while keeping us updated every step of the way. As a result, they secured a settlement that not only met but far exceeded our expectations. Their ability to exceed the expectations of a fellow lawyer speaks volumes about their proficiency and commitment to excellence (and patience!). Their paralegal, Ryan, was meticulous in organizing our case and keeping us informed and deserves special mention. We are immensely grateful for their tireless and exceptional representation and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone in need of outstanding legal services.

Posted by Anthony | March 03, 2015 | Foreclosure

Michael Manoussos, an excellent attorney.

Michael and his associates handled my case against a very large bank/mortgage company. The bank refused to work with me in modifying my mortgage, however they never gave a valid reason for the denial. Although they proceeded with the foreclosure, we countered with our own litigation against them. Th...rough a long process, Michael negotiated a favorable outcome for me and my family. Michael always kept me calm and made me feel confident there was going to be a favorable outcome to the case. He is very caring, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. I thank him for his excellent service and the friendship he showed me during the entire process. I highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
