Remarkable Attorney

My names is Ismeta and Mr. Maniscalco has been representing my husband for 21 years. My husband had a traumatic brain injury when he was struck in the head by a metal object at work. My husband was only 41 years old and I was only 36 at the time of his injury. We lived in an apartment with our two... young children (ages 11 and 17). We had immigrated to the United States from our country due to a civil war and we had only been in the United States for two years when my husband suffered his life changing injury. The insurance company denied my husband’s treatment claiming that it was pre-existing. Mr. Maniscalco fought the insurance company every step of the way and literally saved my husband’s life. Mr. Maniscalco has given our family another chance and if it was not for his legal expertise my children would for sure be left without a father at a very young age. The surgeries that my husband needed were absolutely necessary for him to continue to live and were something that we could have never afforded. After my husband’s accident, our lives were turned upside down (financially, emotionally and in every possible sense). We did not know the rules and laws of Workers Comp but Mr. Maniscalco helped us navigate the system and get my husband to the right doctors. We cannot thank Mr. Maniscalco enough and there are no words to express our gratitude for all his hard work that he has done and that he continues to do, we are forever indebted to him. He has never given up on us or gotten tired of representing us and he has continued to fight for us just as he did on day one. To have a client for 21 years with such a complex injury and for us to never have one single complaint is truly an accomplishment, we highly recommend Mr. Maniscalco to anyone that has a legal need. He is very knowledgeable and very well respected among the medical professionals that we have dealt with. Most of all, he is extremely compassionate and cares very much about his clients and he has been our only light throughout this whole ordeal.

Amazing Lawyer

Attorney Joseph represented me on a personal injury claim. Attorney Joe and his entire team treated me like family during my litigation. I was able to contact Attorney Joe anytime and day or evening and he responded to all my concerns in a timely manner. He is a compassionate, knowledgeable man. I hi...ghly recommend Joseph Maniscalco. I was very satisfied with my settlement and service.

Workers Compensation Case

I was injured at work and friend recommended Joe to me. I could not of asked for a better attorney or his staff. My case is extremely complexed. Joe has spent hours with me, phone calls,weekends working on my case even coming to doctor's appointment. Joe is honest, hard working and there for his cl...ients. He cares about you, your family and makes sure you get the medical treatment that is rightfully owed to you. Joe is a blessing to us. He has changed my view on people....lawyers in our world today. I am grateful to have this man and his team on my side in the court room. Don't pass him by, you will not find another of his quality.

Phenomenal Lawyer

I was in a serious car accident. A man slammed into me as I was traveling through an intersection. A friend recommended Joseph and I was very glad she did. He was by far the best attorney I've come across. He handled my case efficiently and he kept me in the loop throughout. Because I did not have al...l my paperwork, I did not have the best case. But he got me the best settlement he could and he maximized my settlement by working with my creditors to reduce my bills which nearly doubled the amount I actually received after my bills were paid. I was very grateful to have Joseph on my side. Five stars across the board!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2002.

Suspension issued in GA, 2002

updated on 12/11/2014

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Joseph’s comment:

“Unfortunate suspension was for paying a portion of attorney fees to a law school graduate holding himself out to be an attorney. Court Order states I ceased relationship with the law graduate upon learning he was not an attorney prior to disciplinary investigation, ceased prohibited conduct, cooperated fully in disciplinary proceedings, had no prior disciplinary record, and no member of public had been harmed. Have always been in Good Standing with Georgia Bar prior to and after this incident.”
