I endorse this lawyer. He is very knowledgeable about the law. I have sought his opinion is several matters that I know he is knowledgeable and he was quite helpful. I met Manny in 1996 and he and I have been both collogues and adversaries. It is much easier if you practice law with someone who knows the law and is very professional, just like Manny.
