Can’t win for losing.

Been trying to get in contact with Ms.Man is very unlikely. The receptionist says she’s always out and unable to talk. Recently a relative was convicted and wanted to come to his sentencing date. The first time he was suppose to be sentenced, the date was moved. The 2nd date of sentencing was at 9am.... Didn’t get a call from her to let us know about the time being change. The time changed to 2pm, get to the court house and nobody was there! Once again Ms.Man failed to reach out to let anybody know that it was canceled and the date has been changed again ..so you guess it, we have another date. We had to get another lawyer because she had dropped the ball.

I’m sorry to hear that this experience has caused frustration. I understand how emotional and stressful court proceedings can be for families, especially when communication feels unclear or when plans unexpectedly change. That said, I need to correct several inaccuracies in this review. The first sentencing date was postponed at the request of the client’s authorized family contact to accommodate a personal matter. The second date was rescheduled by the Court due to the Judge having a personal matter to attend. That change—made at the last minute—moved the hearing to a later time, and although I was fully prepared at 9 AM, by 2:00 PM, I was no longer able to accommodate that time. I’ve maintained consistent communication with the client and with the specific individual he authorized me to speak with. As an attorney, I’m bound by rules of confidentiality and cannot discuss case details with anyone else unless explicitly permitted. That’s not a lack of communication—it’s a legal and ethical obligation. Significant work has gone into this case, including trial representation and the preparation of a detailed mitigation package submitted to the Court. Family members who were actively involved and present during proceedings can attest to the time and effort put forth on the client’s behalf. If the person who left this review has concerns, I encourage them to connect directly with the client or the new attorney you have hired to handle the appeal in this case. My priority has always been competent and ethical representation—and that remains true whether or not I continue with a case.

The Lawyer You Want Fighting for Your Family

I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible work Jessica did for my son’s case. Her dedication, expertise, and unwavering determination led to his wrongful charges being acquitted. Jessica took the time to truly understand his situation, kept us informed every step of the way, and fought tire...lessly for a fair outcome. This case wasn’t just about clearing his name — it was about protecting his future. My son’s life is just beginning, and having this weight lifted means he can move forward without a wrongful charge holding him back. If you need a skilled, compassionate, and determined attorney who truly cares, I highly recommend Jessica.

Very Good Lawyer!!!

Jessica was a blessing to me. She truly was sent to me by God. Not only did she win my case , but she always came to see me while I was incarcerated to keep me updated. Very genuine & thorough & great at what she does. I Highly recommend Jessica !!!!

Not so good as a public defender

My fiancé had an issue with her corrsponding at first, and I explained how Philadelphia is over capacity with court cases, so she’s probably busy give her a chance, i spoke with Ms. Man a few times and she explained the situation and what the next steps were, she was to file a petition that was due 6.../16 and she said she would have it filed by 6/13 and she would send my fiancé a copy, as time went by he never received anything , so they said they would send it again , fast forward a month still no petition, at this point we’re calling in for answers, now it’s impossible to reach me. Mann, the frustration is setting in fast forward 2 months , now the secretary is saying when the petition is filed we will send him a copy, so now we’re like ..the same petition that you all said was already filled, now it’s no corespondents no answers no explanation no nothing.. but we’re not paying the service was court appointed so I’m guessing that’s why his case is of no importance.

Yet another reviewer hiding behind their anonymity. Unfortunately for you, Saneycka D., I don’t have issues like these with my clients, so you are quite easy to identify. My question is: why would you choose to remain anonymous if you felt that the issues you had with my office were truly legitimate? To clarify this review came after your rudeness and poor behavior resulted in a prohibition against you calling my office or speaking to my staff. This reviewer made seemingly no effort to understand the PCRA process, and her many misconceptions regarding my representation stem largely from ignorance. She never received any misleading information from my office, nor was she lied to; because she could easily have accessed information on her fiance’s PCRA from her home computer via the Court’s online docketing system. My staff had no incentive to deceive her. Saneycka, no one from my office ever told you that your fiance’s petition had already been filed. The petition was sent to MY CLIENT as soon as I filed it. I fulfilled every obligation I held as your fiance’s lawyer, because I am committed to providing exceptional representation to every client, regardless of who pays their bill.
