Giles Harrison Manley

I am writing to express my gratitude for the outstanding handling of my son's case by Dr. Manley and his team. Five plus years ago I began an effort to seek justice for my injured son in hope (in addition to financial compensation for Christopher and his siblings) that the physicians responsible for ...my son's injuries would be more aware of the relevant medical issues when responsible for care involving pregnancies like Christopher's. I believe Dr. Manley and his team accomplished this goal. Searching for an appropriate attorney/firm to handle Chris' case was challenging. I encountered a variety of issues. I had prominent New Hampshire based firms state that Defendants in Christopher's case "never settle cases". It is my experience as a Corporate Attorney that firms with reputations for not wanting to litigate are seldom offered attractive settlements. My perception was that many of the New Hampshire based firms appeared to have conflicts of interest having had the Defendants provide medical care to their colleagues/employees, although these firms were not always forthcoming when addressing this issue. I had a "high-powered" Massachusetts firm opine that our case was "not win-able" I eventually realized I needed to search outside New Hampshire for a firm with a reputation, financial resources, and attorneys willing to litigate every case in which it was necessary. As the old English metaphorical idiom goes, I realized I needed an "Elephant in the room" and/or "an eight-hundred-pound gorilla in the room". As I understand it, Defendants tried to bring in their own out-of-state, high-powered litigator (their "Elephant in the room") and when he was unavailable for our trial date, and the Judge had had enough of Defendants' typical delaying tactics, Defendants decided to acknowledge they were no match for our "Elephant in the room", Dr. Manley and your firm. So the reputation for Defendants in Christopher's case being unwilling to settle cases was overcome in Christopher's case. I am of the opinion that Dr. Manley's many years of experience as an actively practicing OB/GYN physician when utilized in questioning Defendants and Defendants' expert witnesses during depositions contributed significantly to Defendants' decision to make a "last minute" settlement offer. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Manley's and your firm's efforts on our children's behalf. Thank you Dr. Manley

Giles handled our wrongful death lawsuit involving our infant son. His medical expertise was a huge advantage in our case since the evidence and witnesses involved were incredibly specialized. Giles and the firm were not only excellent lawyers but they cared about our case and took a genuine intere...st in our needs and feelings. He communicated with us on a regular basis and included us promptly with updates and new information. Mostly, Giles was passionate and gave 110% into the case, which put our minds at ease knowing we were in such capable hands and we could trust him.

I have known Giles Harrison Manley for more than 20 yrs. He is attentive to the client's needs, and provides advice and representation with skill, genuine care, and compassion. He has been complimented for his expertise in legal as well as medical practice. His education and training are enhanced by ...academic work. My personal and professional interactions with him have been positive and have revealed his good character and ethical standards. His record of success demonstrates capable proficiency. I am pleased to offer a recommendation for him.

Giles gave us hope when no other lawyer thought our case was important enough and would bring in enough money. Our children had grand mal seizures after being overdose almost 23 times the normal prescription amount. They were 3 month old twins and were barely 8 lbs. No parent should ever have to g...o through what my husband and I went through. The Pharmacist who made the error had no acknowledgements, no apologies and no thoughts for our children, she was concerned with her "reputation" not that two children were on life support and we did not know if they were going to be brain dead or even live through the ordeal. When I told my story to the other attorneys they only wanted to know if there was long term damage so the suit could bring more money. I understand that everyone is in the business of making money, I'm in that business as well, although doesn't the pain and suffering of two infants because of someone's carelessness mean anything? Giles and his firm took our case and now we at least feel as though someone listened and acknowledged that this type of mistake and sheer lack of empathy and caring from a healthcare professional is not OK. My husband and I understand that people make mistakes and that things happen, but we would hope that at minimum that healthcare professional would look beyond their selves and care a little bit about the patient. I will never forget the pharmacist's words to me, a mother with two children who were in a coma and on life support, and hopefully now she will never treat another patient the way she treated us. Giles fought for us and for our children and for that we are thankful.
