Expert legal advice from Ms. Manestar

Ms. Manestar has been my lawyer for some years providing excellent legal advice to me and my parents. She was instrumental in helping them write their will a few years ago particularly guiding them through the legalities of elder law. She has always been very accessible, returning my phone calls a...nd providing an experienced knowledge base in her field of expertise. I needed advice on a Power of Attorney for my parents and Ms. Manestar provided the knowledge I needed to make the best decision for both my parents. When my parents needed sound legal advice on reverse mortgages, Ms. Manestar was able to help guide them through the legal system so they fully understood the decisions they made was in their best interest. My parents are now deceased and Im writing this review on their behalf

Lifelong Strategic Partner

Cynthia Manestar has been my lawyer for twenty years. She also represents other members of my extended family. Cynthia is diligent, professional, reasonable, well-studied, and has always taken a proactive interest in our well-being (personal and professional). It can be easily said that there have be...en occasions where her expertise have save us from our foolish selves, regardless of how desperate we were to careen into oblivion. It is difficult to recall an aspect of our lives where she has not aided us, from births to ‘end of life’ planning, and she continues to help us navigate the muddy waters that flow in between that beginning and the end … real estate, accidents, contracts, wills, trusts, etc.; ad nauseam. She handles the unpleasant and mind numbing details because we cannot. Thank you, Cynthia.

In good times, and in bad ...

Some time ago my wife was involved in a traffic accident. Apart from our concern for the well being of the injured party, we did the prudent thing and call our attorney, Ms. Manestar. She immediately provided us with the necessary information to protect our assets, and provided us with documentation ...to upgrade our status. The very next day she filed the necessary legal documentation, and thoroughly explained to us what we might expect if a lawsuit was filed against us. Fortunately, none was forthcoming. I would not have hesitated to retain her if one had. Her fees were very reasonable, and it was comforting to know someone with her expertise was on our side. She provided my son with legal advice and the necessary documentation for a name change for his 6 year old step daughter. When he and his wife bought their first house, Ms. Manestar was the person they relied upon to handle the transaction. Her expertise was invaluable when roadblocks in the process threatened to derail the purchase. Her hard work and dedication to her clients resulted in my son's family moving into their home. I'm convinced it would not have happened without her professionalism. Every time we have needed her, she has made trying times more bearable. She is accessible, diligent, knowledgeable and charges fair prices for her services.
