My wife retained Mr Manor ( I don't believe he deserves the title of Atty) in June of 2011 after she'd call the police following an altercation for which I was charged with Assault on a family member. Upon obtaining Mr Manor's services, I specifically explained to him that I did not want this to be ...on my record. Therefore, I was willing to take whichever route would prevent that from happening... Mr Manor advised me to take a deal for Deferred Adjudication with 3-yr probation at which point he said to contact him once the probation had been successfully completed so he would get it expunged off my record. My wife and I got separated for 9 months as a result of the issues related to the case. Upon getting back with my wife I found out trough text messages my wife was showing on her phone that Mr Manor, who is married himself, had been making unprofessional and inappropriate advances to my wife for a period of 3-4 months. The professional that I am, I took no action and chose to overlook the situation. I realized that Mr Manor was just an unprofessional prick. Since I recently completed my probation, I decided to contact Mr Manor today as he advised to do 3 years ago so I could begin the expungement process. I wanted to know two things: 1. Since I just completed the probation, how long would it be before it's eligible to be expunged; 2. How much would it cost me? Mr Manor then asked me to TEXT him my name, DOB, and any information pertaining to the case and that he would get back to me with with a quote. After waiting for about 4 hours on some feedback from Mr Manor, I decided to begin inquiring about the issue from other attorneys. So I googled Expungement attorney and got a list. The first gentleman I called stopped me halfway through me explaining to him what I was looking and told me:"Sir, I'm sorry but this type of case is not eligible for expungement EVER in the state of Texas! The attorney who represented you at the time should have told you to not take that deal if you didn't want this on your record." so I got thanked him and hung up. I thought that I would get another opinion so I went ahead and called the next attorney on my list. He said to me: " Mr... I'm sorry to inform you that your case is not eligible for expungement nor non-disclosure in the State of Texas. I'm surprised your attorney didn't inform you of that. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say maybe he didn't know." This attorney then went on to check Mr Manor's record to see how long the latter had been practicing law. He then stated:"Oh wow, he's been a lawyer for 11 years! Such incompetence!!!" I was furious to realize that after all this time, Mr Manor still didn't have the decency to make me explain to me that what I was looking to was not possible. Instead, he asked to send him information and never got back to me. Please be aware of who you allow to handle issues that can affect you for the rest of your life. I take full responsibility for any role I played that led to those charges being filed; However, had I been aware of Mr Manor's mediocrity, he would have never gotten the chance to handle my case
