High Regard

My lawyer in FL recommended Jeff when I got arrested in GA and didn't know what to do. I got pulled over in a cash-cow speed trap town 20 miles above the state line and they called a K-9 unit and got probable cause to search my car. I was livid and felt so violated. Luckily I hired the best of the be...st. Jeff always called/emailed me back promptly when I had questions about my case, and Always spoke to me as an equal. He took care of everything and when it came time to go to court was honest and logical in discussing what was best and how my plea would affect my future. Under his council I felt calm and in control. I was facing 3 misdemeanor charges and got them all dropped on the condition that I do a small amount of community service, pay a fine, and don't get in any more trouble for a few months. I didn't even get points on my license for the original speeding ticket. At the end of the day, money is replaceable- my time and freedom are not. If I or anyone I know ever has trouble in GA again, I will be calling Jeff.

recommend a Jeff Manciagli

We hired Jeff Manciagli several months ago after my husband was arrested and charged in federal court with importation of heroin.  My husband was looking at a 10 year mandatory minimum sentence. But thanks to Jeff's experience, knowledge, and efforts on my husband's behalf, the drug charges were all ...dismissed and my husband will soon be home.  I am very grateful for Jeff's great work and recommend him highly to anyone who needs a criminal defense atto

RESPECT.

When facing the possibility of loosing my freedom, there is no greater comfort than that of knowing I have an experienced, competent lawyer that genuinely cares about me and my well being. Not only did Jeff provide this throughout the experience, he produced the results I wanted. Jeff was always e...asily available to get a hold of and to answer any questions I had, in detail, with seemingly endless patience. He has earned a great deal of respect from me as a lawyer, and as a person in general. No matter how big or small the case may be, I am very confident in highly recommending Jeff Manciagli.

Great outcome!

I retained Jeff’s services upon being charged with dui, attempting to elude and reckless driving. With Jeff at the helm, it was pleaded down with some of the more serious charges dropped. The outcome was more than satisfactory. Furthermore, at the time of my case, I had been living in California for... almost a year. Jeff worked it out so that I didn’t even have to return to Atlanta to face the judge. He entered my plea in absentia, submitted the necessary paperwork and that was that. It’s all behind me. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and would not hesitate to recommend Jeff to anyone.

The best lawyer ever

Jeff Manciagli is one of the best criminal defense attorneys that I have come across. He represented me about 15 years ago in a federal drug conspiracy case and I was very pleased with the outcome of the case. Since then, I have kept in touch with him and I know that he has continued to obtain very f...avorable outcomes for his clients in some very serious cases. In addition to his legal expertise, Mr. Manciagli treats his clients with respect and honesty, which is something that cannot be said about every attorney. Mr. Manciagli has lived and traveled all over the worId, including Latin America, and his legal work has taken him to Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, and Jamaica. It was important for me, as a foreigner in the U.S., to have an attorney who understood me from a cultural level and who I could speak to in Spanish. If you or a loved one needs a criminal defense attorney, Jeff Manciagli is the attorney you should call. Jeff Manciagli es uno de los mejores abogados de defensa criminal que me he topado. Me representó en un caso de conspiración de drogas federal hace unos 15 años y estaba muy complacido con el resultado del caso. Desde entonces, he mantenido en contacto con él y sé que ha seguido obtener resultados muy favorables para sus clientes en algunos casos muy graves. Además de su experiencia legal, Sr. Manciagli trata a sus clientes con respeto y honestidad, que es algo que no se puede decir acerca de cada abogado. El Sr. Manciagli ha vivido y viajado por todo el mundo, incluyendo América Latina, y su trabajo legal le ha llevado a Colombia, México, Guatemala, Panamá y Jamaica. Era importante para mí, como un extranjero en los Estados Unidos, a tener un abogado que me entendió desde un nivel cultural y que podía hablar en español. Si usted o un ser querido necesita a un abogado de defensa criminal, Jeff Manciagli es el abogado que debe llamar.
