Sanborn vs. McCain

Dina is very good at what she does. Her style fit my personality, attitude and beliefs. In my opinion, Dina was a bulldog. Very knowledgeable yet had the "take no prisoners" approach. I liked that about her and would recommend her to others. She was well organized and always had a plan for o...ur attack. She was well prepared and had back-up for anything she presented. She anticipated well and was ready when questions were asked. She really knocked it out of the park during our Final Trial. I felt all the momentum was on our side and our team was far superior than opposing council. The only issue I had was I thought she nickel and dimed me to death. I understand attorneys charge by the minute but there were times when I got billed for every little email response. Some of my conversation was a result of mis-communication which lead to additional charges that I felt should not have occurred. I sometimes was afraid to ask questions or if I didn't understand something was afraid to enquire in fear of being charged. I felt many of our conversations could have been off the record.

Hardworking, passionate, tenacious, intelligent and kind hearted all at the same time.

Unmatched expertise in international family law

We all wish we get married once and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, this is not how life works. As an American citizen living abroad, I had no idea what to do when remaining married was no longer an option. Yet, getting a divorce from abroad appeared to be extremely complicated because I was... no longer a GA resident, borders were closed due to coronavirus, and my former spouse was not cooperative in getting the legal paperwork together. Finding a good attorney was also a challenge: all I had was online profiles of a few legal firms. I contacted the Manely firm via their web site form, and received prompt, informative responses. My initial consultation with attorney Khismatulina was very thorough, and I found out immediately that I had a broad range of options. Dina was open and caring; she asked many questions and offered several alternative ways of resolving my specific case. Selecting her as an attorney to represent me was an easy choice, and I am glad I did not hesitate. My legal battle prior to hiring a lawyer lasted two years; Dina and her team resolved it, from signing on to finishing, in about four months - and that with a two-month delay in document submission in my part, and at times of coronavirus closures. Dina looked out for my interests every step of the way. While specifics of the case are probably of no interest to anyone - every case is unique - I can assure that no matter how difficult your case might be, attorney Khismatulina and her team will find the best solution possible for you. Her support team is also wonderful, and they have even found options for online notarizing - something that is of great value when embassies abroad are closed and are not offering notary services. I also had to call the firm a few times, and everyone I talked to was polite and courteous. Overall, this was an excellent experience. Of course, one would probably prefer to not have to deal with legal issues at all, but if you find yourself in need of family counsel, please consider the Manely form and attorney Khismatulina.
