More concerned with judge than her clients

Two hour trial and this alleged experienced attorney did not submit ANY exhibits/evidence to protect minor children. She had two simple tasks and she failed. She did not give any effort and was thirty minutes late. She banked on knowing the judge and said she knew what the outcome would be. Who do...es that and risks the safety of kids?

Amazing work ethic and devoted

I've worked with Manisha over several years on a terrible custody and domestic violence issue. She's consistently been communicative via email and phone. She takes the time to explain options at various junctures. The way she represents in court and with other attorneys is professional, friendly, and... direct. Manisha has a brilliant legal mind and she is very thorough with her preparation and questioning. I am grateful to her for everything she's done in my case. And her billing is accurate and fair.

Dedicated and Caring Lawyer

Mrs. Kotian has been understanding of my child custody case. Her team and herself have been more then helpful and answered multiple questions I have had during the process. Communication is her strong point. Either through phone or email we were able to create and execute a plan. I highly recommend... her for any family law cases.

Professional and Helpful

I have used Manisha in the past for consultations on some family law issues I have had in the past. She is great at listening to my concerns and is honest with advise. She is very professional yet approachable and easy to talk to. I highly recommend her for any family law issues.

Highly recommend

Manisha handled my recent divorce, which included a relatively complicated custody situation. She was personable, professional and diligent. She would promptly return calls and emails. She remembered details of my case each time we spoke, even when it had been several weeks since we last talked; I... never felt like just “another client”. She was committed to my case, and made a very stressful time in my life manageable. Additionally, she was prompt, fair and accurate with her billing. Manisha was easy to work with and I highly recommend her!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
