From the beginning of my career I strived to be different from other lawyers. I greatly value education. The more I learn the better lawyer I am and that translates into better results for my clients both in and out of court. Criminal defense is extremely challenging because the full power of the government comes into play in these cases and often the government does not fight fair. However, by being educated not only in the law, but also in science and the art of pursuasion, I can level that playing field for my clients. I am proud that I belong to several great nationwide criminal defense and DUI defense organizations such as the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, National College for DUI Defense, Driving Under the Influence Defense Lawyers Association. I am also proud of the fact I belong to several national scientific organizations such as the Society of Forensic Toxicologists and the American Chemical Society. In fact through the American Chemical Society I obtained certification as a Lawyer-Scientist making me one of less than 50 lawyers in the country with that distinction.

In the fields of DUI and drug defense I decided years ago that I would no longer be satisfied with just reading blood alcohol and drug test results and listening to local experts who say blood tests and drug tests results are accurate and can't be challenged.  So I decided to investigate these issue myself.  I read untold numbers of articles and books by experts from around the world and I also went across the country attending hands on lab courses to learn how blood and drugs are actually tested and tested them myself.  I am very glad I did.  Not only are there problems with the accuracy of blood and drug tests, I found that in a lot of the counties I go to, the very admissability of the tests is a major problem for the prosecution.

Since I came to this realization I now even spend more time learning about this subject as well as all aspects of defending DUI and drug cases.  However, the use of science by me is not limited to just DUI and drug cases. I use science in every type of criminal case where warranted. Not only that but I am constantly learning how to present this information to judges and juries so they can understand what I am telling them which leads to good results for my clients.

It is not enough to just know the law and do the minimum CLE credits per year to be an effective advocate for your clients. To be good at anything a person must constantly train and learn and that is what I do for my clients.

I won't revisit my nightmare in Clarion County PA, but trust me when I say that Brian not only did an extraordinary job, but he took time away from a vacation to respond promptly. He was more than professional, responsive and knowledgeable. He is worth every dine

Gave my son a second chance
My son was facing charges for possession of marijuana. Because he was caught in the dorms, he was also facing disciplinary action from his university. Brian's thorough knowledge of the law and his familiarity with the university's disciplinary process immediately put us at ease that we had hired the right person. Brian took the time to speak to us and explain everything any time we had questions for him. He not only accompanied our son to his court dates - he also accompanied him to his campus disciplinary hearing. My son was admitted into the ARD program, and was allowed to return to the university with minimal disciplinary action. If your college student gets into in trouble, as kids will do, you cannot make a better decision than hiring Brian Manchester to help. Thank you Brian for all that you did for us!

SeCOND CHANCE
I would recommend Manchester & Associates to any person in need of representation for serious felony offenses. I was pulled over by a PA state trooper and facing two felonies and a 8 month minimum jail sentence. I wanted to avoid jail time at all cost, even if that meant pleading guilty. I did not see a way out of my situation without serving a jail sentence. Because I was driving the car I thought my case was black and white I was "caught red handed" as the saying goes. Brian took me through every step of the process and kept me very informed on what options I had available to me. Three months after I bailed out the cops released the tape of me being pulled over. Brian reviewed the video of the stop and informed me that the PA state trooper had no reason to pull me over at all. This information changed my entire case as well as what I was willing to plea to. The district attorney offered me multiple plea deals but with no priors I wanted to keep my record clean and decided to fight the charges. Brian worked hard and I received NO JAIL TIME. Also, my criminal record is clean so I have a second chance with my career path that would not be available to me with a felony on my record. I'm thankful for Brian Manchester and if you're looking for representation in the state of PA look no further Brian Manchester is the best choice.

The best decision
Mr. Manchester represented me for four charges in a very strict and difficult county with a horrible jail in southern PA. I was facing jail time and I have a long list of prior offenses. To say the least I was extremely nervous about the outcome and having to spend time in jail, loose my employment, and all the other life changing items that could happen. Mr. Manchester was respectful, corteous, and professional in every interaction. His prices were more than fare and always responded to calls, emails, and text messages immediately and with the information I was trying to obtain. He stood up for me in court and was aggressive when needed yet all the while was friendly and honorable and respected by the court. He was able to work it out so I had no jail time and just six months of PA probation. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or lawyer. Thank you Brain

Telephone conversation: legal advice
August 1, 2018 Shortly after 8:00 am today, I called the number for the office of attorney Brian Manchester. Expecting an assistant to gather my information, I was greeted by the voice of Mr. Manchester answering his phone personally on his way into court. He listened to me with politeness and great earnest, then patiently gave advice and explained my options for the future of my case, if ever needed. This greatly reduced my self- made stress of a very foolish decision made. Even before reading his online reviews of the extensive collection of positive feedback, my gut instinct told me I should call! Because of it I will finally be able to sleep better tonight. No charges have been made and hopefully will go no further. This is an extremely valuable life lesson for this older man that I am. With my sincerest appreciation, Rex

STUNNING word choices, that flat out WORKED, outstanding Counsel.
I consulted with Brian Manchester prior to being a character witness during the recent sentencing of my friend. As a result of Brian's STUNNING recommendation for me to use specific words, that flat out WORKED, the minimum sentence was imposed on my friend and prison time was avoided. What was so helpful was that Brian skillfully assembled facts for me to point out to the judge, that clearly impacted this favorable outcome. As a result of my consultation with Brian that resulted in a positive outcome in court, there is additionally a GREAT CHANCE that this case will YET get overthrown. Consult with Brian? A GREAT BIG YES! Don't think twice, just do it and thank me (and him), later. I plan to recommend Brian to my own clients whether they need a consultation or need to hire a reliable attorney.

Brian should be your first phone call
If I could give Mr. Manchester 100 stars I would. Speaking from experience if you need a criminal defense attorney, your first call should be to Brian Manchester. I contacted his office at 3 pm on Tuesday and by 8:30 am Wednesday my issue was fully resolved. He truly does have his clients best interest as his first priority and he was available to me by phone, text and e-mail. Do yourself a favor, hire Brian Manchester.

Amazing attorney.
In May 2017 I rushed my son to the hospital unknowinging the horrible diesaster that would come of this Emergency room trip where I took my 8 moth old to be seen. All day I wore my fire arm on my side like mostly every day I do being a young mom in a town that’s going downhill by criminals that rob and do senseless acts. After I realized the uncomfort of the check in Nurse I decided to call my son’s father to come sit with my and son I while I take my gun to my car. I come back in and a woman made a false report because she heard PART of my sentence spoken between me and my sons father. And police showed up in response to a call of an ACTIVE shooter. My gun never left my holster, and the report was misleading and I was unarmed when I supposedly made a threat. I was arrested and my son was left behind at the hospital. No legal guardian, no emergency contacts were contacted by hospital staff and I was sitting in jail, confused and missing my kids badly. I was bailed out, thankfully. I went to my sisters were she got on google and found Brian Manchester. I begged, borrowed and pleaded for money to hire Mr Manchester which I’m still paying back the man that lent the money to me. No complaints though, had my jury trial on Tuesday May 22nd and during that trial I witnessed Brian Manchester do a closing statement that showed the jury the truth, and he was very compassionate during the whole trial. He was determined to get the truth out and he did. I’m sitting at home watching my 3 year old daughter and my now 1 and a half year old son sleep and I owe it all to Brian Manchester. Smartest move I made was hiring him. He don’t give up, he knows a lot about the law and our rights. Any one ever tells you to get a “bulldog attorney” then call Brian Manchester. When he fights for you he really fights for you. I’ll always suggest him to anyone. 5 stats for sure. You don’t understand how long that year and one week was. Now I get to watch my children grow up with my in their lives and see my daughter go to her first day of headstart in sept. Be here for my sons second birthday in sept, and breath fresh air. I felt scared in the beginning, and trapped because one woman made up a false report that could of ruined my life. But with Brian as my attorney I got my life back, My kids got their mommy, and I still got tears of joy knowing that I made the right choice when hiring the best attorney I could have. If you see this brian, bless you! Bless your parents for raising you and bless the college that taught you. Your an excellent attorney. Be proud. I’m proud of your accomplishments. Without you my kids would be without a mom and I’d not be breathing fresh air during the day and watching my kids sleep peacefully at night. Thank you! As for anyone going through what I did, please know your rights and please hire Brian Manchester. Don’t plead guilty because they offer a “good deal” and make you feel like there’s no out. Talk to Brian before you do anything.

THE CREAM OF THE CROP
If you don't hire Brian Manchester, you just may be legally insane. I have 4 DUI in 6 years, 5 lifetime. I was facing 1-5yrs. State Prison MANDATORY MINIMUM for my 3rd in 10. I served 60 days county. With my 4th in 10 still pending, I'm facing 18-60 months State Prison MANDATORY MINIMUM. The District Attorney would not move off this sentence. That did not deter Brian Manchester. By the time he was done this morning, I have to serve 11 months in county with work release. His work behind the scenes and what I witnessed in the court room this morning was impressive. I'm sitting home with my feet up right now writing this because the judge told me go home and relax and report to county tomorrow. Crazy right?? There's more... the judge remarked at end, and I quote, " I've never given a sentence like this in 22yrs on the bench ". Don't waste your time deciding on which attorney to hire. Pay Brian Manchester and get out of his way. If you don't, you just may be legally insane.

DUI in Bradford county
In April 2016 I was charged with low and hi grade DUI. After extensive research and uncountable phone calls to attorneys I hired Brian Manchester. So glad I did. I have a criminal history from 19 years ago so the DA wanted to throw the book at me. Including up to 3 years in jail. Just over a year later and untold hours of work by Brian I have no jail time and a CDL suspension for only a year. Thank you Brian and team for all your had work.

The Best Around
My husband and I were caught growing marijuana in Huntingdon County and we hired Mr. Manchester to defend us. We were each charged with 2 felonies and 2 misdemeanors and were looking at serious jail time. Not only did he get most of the charges dropped in the plea deal; we both got probation, avoided incarceration, and my husband kept his job. Mr. Manchester and his associate, Greg, always took the time to listen to us, answered our questions, and worked diligently behind the scenes on our case. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, immediately call Brian Manchester and Associates. You won't regret it.

I hired Brian Manchester to help me fight a DUI charge in McKean County. Brian investigated the police report and found a discrepancy in the paperwork which ended up dismissing my DUI charge.

Amazing Lawyer
I found myself in a professional mess. It started in 2014 and case was final in May 2017. I was charged with taking over $600k from one company and moving it to another company’s operating account to cover payroll, daily operating expenses and to pay outside vendors. Over the course of 3 years Brian worked miracles. He proved that I moved the monies not to benefit myself but to help the company in distress. Through extensive research and great negotiating skills Brian was able to get the $600k down to $299k. Even though I did not take the money to benefit myself I owned up to the charges. I did take the money but used it in a way to help others. In the end I received a small jail sentence, probation and restitution of $299k. Brian was very thorough in explaining all the legal processes. He always had time to take my calls, respond to emails and even meet with me on the weekends. He is a miracle worker in the legal system.

Relentless and Passionate Lawyer
I was facing me second DUI. Brian Manchester took my case extremely seriously. He made it clear to me that he would fight for me. When the DA made a offer he explained it to me and gave me all my options. He gave me confidence in my case when I didn't think that was possible. Brian fought for my case and with the DA for over 2 years. He gave me constant updates and options. Brian managed to get the best possible deal. He along with Manchester & Associate also helped me keep my job and continue my career. I am eternally grateful for that. I highly recommend you retain Manchester & Associates.

Brian was extraordinary. He represented me in a serious DUI case. It if weren't for his diligence and dedication to my case, my sentence would have been substantially worse. He is fast at responding, seems to genuinely care about client well-being, and has a passion for what he does. If you get a DUI, he is the person to represent you.

I refer complex DUI cases to Brian all the time, because he has the training and science background needed for these cases.

Rather than taking years of study to learn all the forensic science aspects of DUI, I would rather just refer these cases to Brian. I already have enough work handling different types of criminal cases."

For either charge it is very important to have an attorney fighting for you who understands the scientific principles behind the testing of drugs, blood, and breath. Brian is that guy. He has built a strong reputation among forensic science attorneys as being one of the most knowledgable. I highly recommend Brian if you are facing any drug or alcohol related accusation."
