Former Prosecutor. Zealous Advocate for the Accused and the Injured.
My practice focuses on defending the rights of the accused and those suffering from physical or business related injuries. I have tried and argued cases in New York State Trial and Appellate Courts, as well as New York Federal Courts including the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
As a former Assistant District Attorney and State Assistant Attorney General, I utilize my prior experience and success litigating on behalf of the government to zealously advocate for my clients in criminal and civil matters throughout the State of New York.
As a felony prosecutor, I tried numerous cases to verdict while assigned to the Special Victims Unit. I have also conducted hearings and trials in local courts throughout the region, primarily in the area of DWI law.
As an Assistant Attorney General, I was assigned to the Litigation Bureau where I represented a state agency and its employees in all stages of civil litigation including investigations, motion practice, witness preparation, depositions and trials.
My experience in both the private and public sectors allows me to evaluate your case from multiple angles so that I can assist you in crafting creative solutions for your complex legal challenges.

Salvatore Ferlazzo, Litigation Attorney on May 9, 2019
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse Attorney Manley because he is a fine attorney and a highly ethical person. I have litigated against him and he is a fighter for his client but was still able to work out a resolution which benefited both parties. I would recommend him to anyone.
Christopher Stevens, Litigation Attorney on May 9, 2019

Ryan is a great lawyer and an even better person. Highly recommend.
