Joseph J. Manna Review

Mr. Manna handled a medical malpractice case involving my wife and the loss of her sight. He did an extensive investigation into the people and organizations he felt were responsible for the injury. He also, with the help of his chosen experts, was able to relate the injury to the responsible parti...es. During the progress of the case he always kept us advised and prepared. We met many times both at his office or at our home and the meetings were always cordial and professional. This was a devastating loss. While we learned to cope with our new lifestyle Mr. Manna took care of all that needed to be done to resolve the case. He did so with expertise, professionalism and a geunine concern for how we were coping. We were totally satisfied with the way Mr. Manna handled the case.

Car Crash

I hired Joe as my attorney in the year 2012, after a car crash due to a drunk driver. On our first meeting, Joe explained everything that was involved and how long the case would take. I know Joe and the firm have many cases, but he made me and my wife feel like we were the only ones with a case. His... knowledge in law is beyond words. Over the years, Joe has always been there and taken my calls. Even when I became angry on why it was me in a car crash, he always knew what to say. Back to my case, Joe has been professional from day one and to day this he has my trust in handling my case 100%

Medical Malpractice

Joe Manna is the kind of lawyer you want on your side when you feel helpless and confused. Unfortunately my family lost our mother to what we felt were bad decisions by her surgeon and his residents. Joe was able to explain the law to us and had let us know ahead of time what he honestly thought of... our case. He understood when we where upset and made it as comforting as possible. He was able to explain the law in a way we could understand without talking over our heads. Joe was always willing to call and explain things when we thought it was necessary. Joe kept fighting for my family and I throughout the entire process. More importantly, he fought for our mother. Joe was able to settle our case out of court for a substantial sum and saved us from having to relive the nightmare all over again in court.

  • 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.
