Leonard Manalo

I had a wonderful experience with Leonard Manalo and the Shouse Group. I found out by accident that I had a bench warrant from a DUI I received almost 6 years ago. I did everything the court told me to do back then, paid the fines on time, and submitted all paperwork to my then-lawyer, so I was panic...king over the entire thing. The Shouse Group contacted me within hours after I first reached out to them, and they couldn't be more professional and empathetic about my case. Leo Manalo was assigned to my case and he went to work right away. He got the warrant recalled within two days after initial contact, confirmed that my probation was terminated immediately per all of my completed documents, and even identified an issue that should be resolved as he files for expungement. He answered all of my questions as patiently as he could and was able to calm me down. I couldn't be happier about my experience and my only regret is not hiring them all those years ago. I highly recommend Leo Manalo and the Shouse Group.

I was in a tough spot in my life, and my attorney Leonard Manalo helped and aided me out of the situation. He is a true life saver! My situation occurred in the summer of 2014. I got caught in an situation that led to an altercation with a couple of officers from a Los Angeles county-based sheriff...s' department . Within that altercation, I was assaulted, pepper sprayed, forcefully dragged against my will, beaten, and eventually, handcuffed, arrested, and during that process they went through the vehicle and found illegal substances. I went through the process, hospital, booking, jail and bailed out. I was charged with 3 drug-related felony counts, and a couple of misdemeanors. Shortly after posting bail, I contacted a friend of mine, who through gods will, put me into contact with my Attorney, Leo. I remember Leo answering my first phone call on the third ring, and we briefly discussed my situation over the phone, and moved forward to setting up a meeting the same week. Upon meeting, the first thing I noticed was the level of professionalism and confidence that thrived within the corners of that office. We discussed my situation, and went over all the details, he asked me a set of questions, and then he applied his knowledge and literally mapped out multiple plans and scenarios on the spot right there and then. I also noticed that he truly cared about my situation in regards in how it pertains and related to my life. Above all things, I saw he had a good heart with a great mind, and that was the reason I chose to proceed forward with him as my attorney. As we proceeded with the case, it was November of 2014, and the first day of court came, and he had many outlines of various detailed forms of how exactly we were going to fight the case. We started by filing for dismissal of one of the 3 felony charges, and we did get granted dismissal of a felony trafficking charge! We also went through the discovery process and ended up finding some great evidence. I can't name every single filing that he did off top( because I'm no attorney), but I do know this, January came about and we had another court date, and on that date we got two felony charges dropped down to misdemeanors, and the other two misdemeanors were dropped completely! By the end of the process, we were able to fight the case all the way, and based on completion of the dej program, we were able to get a grant of dismissal of the entire case! It was a true blessing to have them at my side, helping me defend, and protect myself! I couldn't be happier with the results! Leonard and his entire team are true legitimate professionals, with good hearts and great minds, they know how to get the job done! I would highly recommend to anyone that's in an unfortunate situation, to hire Leo and his entire team to come to your aid, and help you get out of a tough spot!

I had a case where I could have been charged with a felony or misdemeanor. My dad found Shouse Law Group online. I had Leo Manalo represent me in court. I am very happy with his knowledge of law and the court system as he has represented me three times on the same case. He had my charges reduced and ...had some warrants quashed that I was not aware of until my job did a background check four years after they were issued. This saved my job and livelihood. Leo was also was very punctual, always called me back, and was more than willing to take his time ansewring any questions I had. I only have only good things to say about Leo Manalo and Shouse Law Group. If you get in trouble, I highly recommend Leo Manalo, he is very gung ho and always has a great attitude which put me at ease. I would definitely have him represent me again if any further services are needed. He definitely knows his profession and what he's talking about!!!!!

Consulted with client in jail; established rapport; Understood the severity of the charges yet also allowed for the mitigating circumstances. Recommended a bail bondsman. Arranged for a diagnosis session with an excellent forensic psychologist. Using the psychologist's report negotiated with the D...A to drop some charges and ultimately to settle on lock-up in a mental health facility for several months rather than time in jail. He was always available to respond to text messages and phone calls throughout the process.

When I first contacted shous law they were really friendly with no hesitation took my info down and soon after was contacted by Leo Manalo. He told me not to worry that he would be able to help me and my Firearm case. Since day one he always kept contact with me and any questions or concerns I had we...re always answered right away. Leo manalo with all his hard work and knowledge and his great aggressiveness, persistence to defend me has made me feel better with such good results I can at least still have a normal life. I recommended Leo Manalo the best Lawyer I could have ever had. Don't hesitate to call the Shous Law firm with any questions like I did with any case you have they are the best lawyers for some legal help :)
