The Attorney for the job: Maniscalco Law Firm

I was referred to The Maniscalco Law Team, I contacted them, my case was evaluated, I was notified that he would take the case!! With a difficult case Joe fought for me, and we won the case!! Thanks for the hard work, and time you guys dedicated to making sure this case would be resolved in a ver...y professional and timely manner!!

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.”
