Best lawyers ever!!

When i tell you these are the best lawyers in Atlanta i really mean these are the BEST LAWYERS IN ATLANTA! After being in a unfortunate car accident with both of my kids and having to have reconstructive surgery I reached out to Darren and he called me right away and daesik met with me in my home the... next day! They do not play around when it comes to your case! It has been some challenging months and some uncertaint ones due to the pandemic but they managed to do the best and most professional work and quick considering the circumstances that I have ever seen! They got me more than I could ever expect in my settlement and I am more than grateful for them! I will definitely keep recommending them!

Dishonest Billing Practices

Daesik was the lawyer I was assigned after retaining the Manely Firm (although when I signed my contract I was told a very experienced woman was taking my case, not someone just out of law school.) If you go to LawyerRatings.com and view Michael Manely you will see I am one of many that has the same ...exact complaint. Daesik billed for “preparing file” “organizing file” “signing papers in file” “going online to e-file” .... a whole lot of nothing. He went through my entire retainer in one billing cycle, mostly for 17 hours of “research” that I had been promised would be no more than 1.5 hr. He spent more time defending the legitimacy of his billing than anything else, and added undue stress, both financially and emotionally to this single mom’s life....without even batting an eyelash.

Contrary to your allegations, we do not engage in fraudulent billing practices. We have never been found by any entity or organization to have overcharged any client or engaged in other fraudulent billing practices. We work diligently on our cases and charge our clients reasonable fees for our legal services. We work for reasonable clients and charge reasonable rates, always.

Divorce with child custody issues

Daesik is a good lawyer, and he is a good person. He was so communicative. Daesik made sure I knew what was going on with every step of my divorce. I felt like Daesik was in complete control throughout the entire 9 months of the proceedings. Daesik fought for me and my children, and we got exactly wh...at we wanted when it finally went to court. I would recommend him to any one of my friends, and already have.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
