This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Always available to answer questions. Excellent lawyer!

Allan Manka handled a case in my past ( 2 assault to public servants), caused by a facility misusing medication or not educated enough to be in that position of power. In court, the entire staff & facility showed (probably trembling in their boots). It took ONE word from Allan asking them to produ...ce their evidence (RECORDED EVIDENCE, the place "records" EVERYTHING, as there are AUDIO and VIDEO recorders everywhere! This business/facility, whatever you want to call it conveniently does NOT have it...Judge said "In the 5 years I've know this girl, I have NEVER seen her act like this! You all need to be more careful with what you give to your "patients". CASE CLOSED (side effects from their medication affected my ability to function normally for over 3 months. Allan is a GREAT Attorney & ALWAYS there to answer questions. He was both consulted an hired, by my family & eventually, myself for a separate matter. Thank you Mr. Manka. -M

Always Available and Knowledgable

I hired Allan to assist in my divorce and custody case. In the several months of working with him I have been completely satisfied. If I email or call him about my case, he responds within minutes, even when something comes up on the weekend and I don't expect a response until Monday. Everything I ha...ve requested was done as quickly as possible. If I have concerns he tells me exactly what I should do and how to do it. I am very pleased that I was referred to Allan and would refer him to anyone I know.

Wish I would have never wasted my time or money

Allan Manka should not be allowed to practice law. He will not properly represent you!!! Please keep looking - He tried to get me to sign a false decree for my divorce. once I confronted him with proof - he quit And then told me I was crazy. Allan is only in it for the money and will do whatever... to get it. Just not what you paid him for. Run....

When someone comes in to hire an attorney because his last lawyer told him to "f--- off", a red flag. When a judge has previously ordered someone to therapy, gets a little curious. When the person can talk of nothing but conspiracies to hack phones and emails, becomes a concern. When someone forcibly drags his wife to an exorcism, ethical problems arise. But, when a client breaches his contract for payment, the attorney must seek permission to withdraw, which a court just ordered in this matter. And, when the State Bar rejects a complaint outright, clearly the comment is a fraud.

I highly doubt you left anyone there with Opposing Counsel. You yelled at me for even talking to ours. The Trans Am? I’m not in the least surprised. That’s a Mankaism alright.

Horrible lawyer and human being

I hired Manka for paternity and child support case. He is the used-car salesman of lawyers! At one point he told me "just buy him a Trans-Am when he is 18 and you've won." Wow. The worst by far though was when we were at the courthouse and I (read: me, not Manka) had just negotiated a mutually a...greeable settlement. Manka then leaves the courthouse because he had somewhere to be. He left me alone with the opposing attorney to go over with and sign a stack of legal documents reflecting what just happened, documents that I had no hope of deciphering. Well it turns out the opposing lawyer screwed me and I didn't catch it. Since Manka wasn't there to do his job, I signed the documents and now there is nothing I can do about it. Gee, thanks Manka. This man is terrible. He is completely without morals or ethics. He IS the reason people detest lawyers.

Nothing like this has ever happened. Clues: "Anonymous." Stack of documents? Not in a family law case. One would have to wonder why there was never a complaint to the State Bar. Answer: Full and complete investigation would get to the truth. Dear Anonymous, let's have names and approximate dates so the "rest of the story" can be published.
