Best Attorney!

Mike Manesh and his assistant Susan are very professional and knowledgeable in the field of estate planning. Mr. Manesh explained all the steps of the estate planning process in detail and answered all questions no matter how many times I asked him. He always made himself available to meet either on ...line or in person and was very thorough in his explanations. I had a great experience working with him and his staff. Thank you Mr. Manesh for the wonderful A++ service you and Susan provided.

Exeptional & Briliant attorney

Mr. Manesh is extremely brilliant. He is an attorney you want to have on your side. We had an extremely difficult case, if it weren't for Mr. Manesh we would still be in court. Thank you Mr. Manesh for all you have done for our family.

Lawyer

Mr Manesh is not helpful at all. When you asked him a question he does not answer your question with any reasonable answer or advice. I'm not sure even if you give him the $500.00 consultation fee he treats you better or not.

Estate planning/Living Will

Our family was referred to Mr. Manesh for the difficult task of preparing a trust and will. We were very impressed with his staff and his knowledge of the law. He was able to address our concerns and needs quickly and efficiently. I will be referring all of my family and friends.
