"I endorse this lawyer and am proud to have him as my law partner. Jimmy Manasseh or “Manasseh” as he is called by many beloved clients is a master strategist devoted to obtaining the very best result for those protected by his representation. Manasseh’s former and present clients range from high profile executives, musicians and athletes to those less fortunate who are fighting charges against a challenging legal system. Manasseh has put together a team of highly skilled and experienced attorneys (including some former state and federal prosecutors) that take on a variety of cases including criminal defense, personal injury, family law and environmental law. There is rarely a legal issue that Manasseh and his team have not encountered and overcome through their many years of combined experience. It is true that Manasseh is who other lawyers call when a family member or friend needs a good attorney."

"I have worked for Jimmy Manasseh in the past. We graduated from law school together. We have been friends for over 35 years now. I refer Jimmy and/or his firm to any person who asks me if I know a good criminal defense attorney, even if they are not living in Louisiana. I have referred hundreds of clients over the past 35 years and I will continue to do so. Jimmy has built the largest and most successful criminal defense firm in Baton Rouge and perhaps in the state of Louisiana. I give Jimmy my highest recommendation. Lindsey J. Leavoy"

"Jimmy Manasseh is an elite criminal defense lawyer. He is one of the youngest attorneys to successfully argue before the United States Supreme Court in the modern era and has obtained acquittals on many high profile cases. He is a "natural" in front of a jury and is often achieve what is considered "impossible" for his clients. I'm proud to have him as a friend and law partner."

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Jimmy has been one of our community's leading criminal defense attorneys for over 20 years. His practice has successfully grown, and his mastery in law office practice is only exceeded by his greatest asset, jury trial litigation. In front of a jury, Jimmy's years of experience, combined with his charismatic manner, present a compelling presence to the jury. He has argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, Louisiana Supreme Court and in many other jurisdictions, but his most persuasive stage is the opportunity to work with a jury of 12 people, good and true. Here he is a true zen master and without peer. He lives the life story that most of us only tell, that 12 people, can change the world. I'm proud to have the opportunity to work for his firm and with him as my mentor in helping families in crisis."
