Leonard Manalo

I contacted Shouse Law after I felt that my old attorney was not doing enough to help our case. Mark Russ was very professional and when the time came, he referred me to his colleague, Leo Manalo as he is the attorney that worked the jurisdiction that I was dealing with. Leo was excellent from start ...to finish and fought for me and my fiancée all the way through. No charges were filed with certain conditions to be met. If I or my friends are ever in a situation where they need representation, I will give them Leo's and Mark's number first.

Had a very tough and adversely life-altering criminal accusation that would see me in a very dismal and bleak outcome. The attorney Leo M. at the Shouse law group was a blessing. He worked with me every step of the way, and carried out the best possible negotiation that brought the whole charge down ...to a mere infraction. Couldn't be happier!

Received my d.u.i a year back and I went searching for a law firm to represent me. I spoke with numerous companies and Shouse was the only company that when I called, they went into action right away. I was able to beat my DMV hearing in the first step. A house then assigned a lawyer by the name of L...eo to my case. Leo made sure that during the whole process he was there with any question I had to ask. Long story short my d.u.i went from that to a wet reckless. For me that is much better because I need my license and was dreading the fines and interlock device that comes with a d.u.i. I just want to take the time to say thank you to Leo and the Shouse family.

It was just another day, business as usual, until I made the decision to take on the open road pedal to the metal! The next thing you know CHP is behind me and I'm kicking myself real hard for getting another ticket.. I've tried my hand at representing myself in the past which resulted in just as ...many wins as losses, but the time it took out of my schedule was more than what I could handle. I admit that the many times I decided to be speed racer resulted in getting a ticket and you would think after the 2nd or even the 3rd time common sense would kick in and I would just obey the speed limit right, hehe, unfortunately this guy always has to learn the hard way. I was fed up. I didn't want to have to keep track of all my tickets and I had just received another speeding ticket! I googled "criminal defense attorney" and the first few names that were listed included Shouse Law Group. I visited the website and submitted an inquiry with a brief description of my situation. Within 10 min I received a phone call from a man named Leonard Manalo and after a brief exchange made an appointment to visit the office to hash out more details. At the time I had 4 active tickets with a 5th I received recently. Leo thoroughly and with explicit detail explained how he would go about representing my case and gave me much needed peace of mind. The last time I retained services from an attorney it was not such a great experience. It was hard to keep in contact and stay updated on my case. I was left wondering what was going on and the only thing the firm called me directly for was payment arrangements. Leo and Shouse Law Group are a godsend and completely the opposite of what I had experienced with other firms. Leo was willing to work with me and my financial situation, he always gave me updates as soon as he was aware of them, the willingness to communicate through text message day or night and even weekends brought a level of engagement I had never seen before, and everyone involved in handling the case treated me quite nicely and always made me feel that their best interests were in mind. When I received the 5th ticket I did not hesitate to call Leo immediately! "Hello Leo, ummm... Bad news.." LOL! The guy is really down to earth and will treat you like family! And guess what? 3 dismissed and 2 more to go! I am confident in Leo and Shouse Law Group to assist me with any and all situations that I may encounter later down the road. Thank you for the peace of mind, genuine demeanor, willingness to compromise, and most of all, for letting me get back to living my life. You guys rock!! \( ^o^ )/

Leo is amazing. He has been like Rambo. He took an otherwise stressful process and made it simple for me. He didn't mind going the extra mile in the court room to get me a sweetheart deal. He has also been on top of my case to make sure that I am up to date with everything. He is the reason that I ha...ve been able to focus on real life. His prowess as an attorney has given me the peace of mind to focus on family and work. I highly recommend Leo.
