Excellent Attorney!

Hiring Mr. Manasseh was a great decision! He was respectful and professional and remained patient with me during a very difficult time. His staff made sure that all of my questions were answered timely and I was always able to get in touch with him if needed. I highly recommend using him as an atto...rney!

The Best Ever!

My husband and I hired Mr. Manasseh and his firm to represent my son in what was a bad mistake that could have negatively affected him and his family. Mr. Manasseh not only treated us with respect and kindness, but he worked diligently to get my son the best outcome that we could have prayed for. I...n our initial meeting, Mr. Manasseh made us feel like he truly cared about us and our case. He returned our calls and emails promptly and kept us apprised of what was happening with our case. I feel truly blessed that I was directed to Mr. Manasseh. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone needing legal assistance.

Very fortunate to have had in our corner

Jimmy Manasseh is not only a extremely competent attorney, but consistently demonstrated kindness and consideration that my family appreciated. Mr. Manasseh was responsive and used his expertise to provide a clear assessment of our situation, and a candid and accurate analysis of what steps we neede...d to implement personally and then he directed the quality associates of his firm to represent us in key roles throughout the legal process. In a criminal case, there is piece of mind in knowing that you have a strong team in your corner. Jimmy was the quarterback and proved why having his name at the top of the firm Manasseh, Gill, Knipe, and Bélanger was worthy. We were well represented by a number of lawyers in the this process under Jimmy's direction and Jimmy was there for us when we needed him. We feel grateful for his work on our behalf!

Goes the extra mile

I hired Mr. Manasseh, based upon a recommendation, after my son made a mistake that could have affected his future. During our first meeting, Mr. Manasseh’s first question was about my son’s personal well-being. Mr. Manasseh was clearly concerned about my son’s health and potential future mistakes ...if steps were not taken to help him with his addiction. Mr. Manasseh took the time to speak with various social workers and counselors and assisted us with placing him in a rehab facility. My experience with Mr. Manasseh revealed that he is not only well respected by his peers, judges, and social workers but also is well respected in his community. Mr. Manasseh is dedicated to ensuring the law is applied properly and that justice is dispensed in a fair and equitable manner. Not only did Mr. Manasseh pro-actively provide me with frequent updates on the case but also made personal calls (after hours) checking on the health and progress of my son. The legal outcome was better than I could have hoped for and clearly better than expected. Mr. Manasseh clearly went above and beyond what one would expect from an attorney and I am thankful for his dedication to the law AND the person.

James Knipe

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 17

Relationship: Co-worker

"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"

"I whole-heartedly endorse this lawyer. Jimmy does a fantastic job for his clients. I am always comfortable referring cases to Jimmy."

André Bélanger

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 04

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."

Christian Lassen

"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."

Beau Brock

Criminal defense lawyer | May 01

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
