Awesome custody attorney
Mr. Mcmanus was awesome through the whole process from restraining order to custody of my daughter and the denial of legitimation and the appeal which was also denied. He was always on top of his game and for this I will always be truly grateful.

I have been using Mark for 18 years!
Mark has given me excellent advice and counsel over the last 18 years for business as well as personal. He's the best divorce attorney around. He was instrumental in my custody "battle" and made sure that I was given custody, which was the right thing to do! Mark will never fill your head with dreams that won't come true but will tell you realistically what your potential outcome should be. He will leave no stone unturned and will fight on your behalf! he is honest and very dependable. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Best Lawyer in Town
Mark did an excellent job representing my son's custody case. Although we are waiting on the judges final decision we could not have asked for better representation! I would recommend him to friends, family and anyone who needs a great lawyer!

Best in town!!!
Mark McManus got me the settlement I deserved in my divorce case. He kept the entire process professional, but wasn't afraid to put up a fight for what was right!! Thank you Mark for everything!!!

Unprofessional
Mr. McManus was hired to work my divorce case on January 02, 2018 by January 12, 2018, just 10 days later I realize he was not a good fit for me. During our third phone conversation Mr. Mcmanus criticized and questioned my son's school and asked me "are you even educated?". Be mindful of professionalism and character before hiring!

Response from Mark McManus June 13, 2018
It is true that I was not a "good fit" for Ms. Griffin. She was adamant about keeping her children in a private school in another County 45 minutes away. I mentioned better public schools closer to her home for enrollment after the divorce. The school she was offended about is ranked #94 out of 116 private K-12 schools in GA (lowest 8%). Sometimes the realities of divorce and life thereafter, and an outsiders view of a child’s school, simply do not match the person’s own ideas or perceptions. When you hire a lawyer, listen to their advice, formed by years of experience and education.
