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

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 h...elpful 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 intere...st as his first priority and he was available to me by phone, text and e-mail. Do yourself a favor, hire Brian Manchester.
