bad representation

Hired attorney manestar to represent me on a case, which she absolutely had no knowledge how to handle such a case.did absolutely nothing on case.and after I asked her to withdraw, she had the nerve to demand another $3, 000. I know I overpaid for representation that I didn't receive. BEWARE!!!

This client has acknowledged in writing that this firm filed petitions on her behalf and that several hours of court representation have been provided. The statements made here by this client are false. Avvo has been given details supporting the false nature of this review and has been requested to remove it.

Attorney Cynthia Manestar - do great legal work in Orland Park, Mokena, Frankfort and Tinley Park

Attorney Cynthia Manestar has a great track record. My GPS equipment was stolen in the premises of one car dealerships during service maintenance. The manager has tried to dismiss me and won’t take responsibility for the loss of my GPS. I sought the services of Ms. Manestar and successfully get a ...refund of my GPS. Many former clients including myself who have sought the services of Ms. Manestar believe that she is one of the best attorneys in the area of Orland Park, Mokena, Frankfort, Tinley Park and the neighboring suburbs. I am very satisfied with Ms. Manestar personalized service and attentiveness to details. With her great legal service, her fees were reasonably fair. Ms. Manestar takes great pride in her ability to provide unique and tailored legal services to each of her clients.

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.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
