Thomas Manning is extremely insightful, hardworking, and diligent. He single handedly ensured that criminal charges were not brought in a case where an investigation had only just started! He is masterful, honest, and an incredibly dedicated advocate. I highly recommend that if you have any criminal matter you seek his assistance.
