Don't waste your money, unknowledgable, unprofessional.

This man is completely unprofessional. I given large amounts of false information regarding my case, the outcome, and the real world consequences that this case would bring afterwards. It's not a matter of an unfavorable outcome, it's the shear amount of false information before, during, and after th...e case was dismissed. He told me I would have to wait 2 years in order to file a motion of non disclosure, and I did not have to wait any time period. Such time I was unable to apply for career oriented jobs due to his legal advice of not being able to seal my record until that time period had passed. His office also miss-handled the paper work filing for early termination of probation, which caused me to finish it 2 weeks short of term. Do not waste your money on this man.

Worked Hard to get CRIMINAL charges dropped and WON!

Manuel Parra worked with my father in a case to get criminal charges dropped. It is hard enough to find out that a family member is in desperate need, but when we got in contact with Mr. Parra, I knew immediately that it was a step in the right direction. He was very upfront with the situation and di...d not sugar coat the charges that had been filed. After hearing the statements from my father and I(as a witness), he was able to give us a planned course of action in regards to the case. Of course, he did not give us exact court dates since those have to be scheduled but we were contacted to setup those dates. After my father appeared in the first court date to get the bond reduced, it was brought down from $100,000 to $2,500 and only 10% of that amount was due until the trail date. That alone was great news because my father was allowed to continue work and not have to pay $10,000 to stay out of jail. Prior to going to trial, we were notified that the charges had been dropped due to the excellent work of Mr. Parra. My fathers name was cleared and was allowed to move on with his life. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this attorney!!! Thank you!

Bad choice!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

I would not recommend Manuel Parra as a representing attorney for anyone! Not only a waste of money but also a waste of time. I had an on going case with Manny, and after I moved out of the city he completely lost contact with me. Never returned any of my calls. I called for 5 months straight every d...ay if not every other day. His secretaries were very rude. I would call and they would leave me on hold. After identifying myself they would hang up on me! It was so frustrating not knowing what was going on with my case. He was to notify the court of my move and he never did. I was never kept informed on any of my court dates. On one occasion, Manny was to file a waiver of apprearance which he never did, and a warrent for my arrrest was issued. My bonds man was the one to inform me of the situation. I wish I knew what I did wrong to offend this lawyer and his staff. I would hightly recommend anyone wanting to hire this lawyer to reconsider. After six months of no contact with Manny, I decided to switch attorney. After being on the phone with my new attorney's secretary for ten minuets, I was able to get more information than I was in six months. Manny was also refered to me by a close friend of his. I think to myself, if this is the way he does busness with a friend of a friend then how must he do business with the rest of the public?
