Leonard Manalo

I cannot speak highly enough of Leo Manalo and the exceptional legal representation he provided during one of the most challenging times in my life. From the very first moment I reached out for help, Leo demonstrated the professionalism and dedication that sets him apart from other attorneys. What i...mpressed me most was his immediate responsiveness – he responded within just 15 minutes of my contacting his website on a Sunday morning, showing his genuine commitment to his clients even outside traditional business hours. Throughout my case, he maintained this level of accessibility, always being responsive to my texts and patiently answering every question I had, no matter how small. Leo's professional demeanor and extensive knowledge of the law gave me confidence during an uncertain time. He thoroughly explained possible outcomes and kept me informed throughout the entire process. His navigation of the process was also evident that he has cultivated excellent working relationships with prosecutors, court staff and judges – relationships that clearly benefit his clients. Beyond his professional qualities, Leo is incredibly punctual and reliable. Most importantly, his legal expertise made all the difference in my case. He successfully secured a Judicial Diversion program for me, which ultimately resulted in my case being dismissed after I completed the program. This outcome literally saved my career, and I cannot overstate how grateful I am for his skillful representation. Leo Manalo is truly a master of his craft, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel. His combination of legal knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness and genuine care for his clients makes him an outstanding attorney. I am forever grateful for everything he did for me.

Leonard is an absolutely amazing attorney ! I recently had a DUI and was beyond I mean beyond stressed. It was his upmost help, that helped relieve a lot of that. He makes sure you're comfortable during the entire process and if you ever have any questions you can text call him or email him at any t...ime and he responds usually within the same day. I never had any concerns that were not answered by him. Also great affordable pricing. Highly recommend to anyone! For whichever your case may be about.

I had a domestic violence case, in which I hired Leo Manalo to be my lawyer. He was very responsive thru out the case, never once have he left me in the dark. If he was not able to respond, he would text me that he is busy and call me as soon as he is available. He told me all the options I have and ...the strategies we would use for each situation. He even went as far as communicating with my parents who was clearly in great stress. Never once have he failed me as a lawyer and performed to the best of his abilities. At the end I chose to take a plea deal, which was very favorable. If ever you are in need of a lawyer that is communicative, strategic and supportive, feel free to reach out to Shouse law group and ask for Leo Manalo.

I was charged with nine counts which comprised of using force to resist arrest, battery upon a police officer, and drunk in public. This arose out of a police call after I stumbled into a stranger’s home, caused a ruckus inside, exited the home and was found severely intoxicated by police officer. ...When the police officers tried to arrest me, I resisted, and caused injuries to several police officers. The initial offer was for probation and 180 days of county jail where I would have to plea to resisting arrest and battery upon a police officer. During the investigation he found that I had substance abuse issues due to your military service. Mr. Leonard helped me to retained the service of a mental health professional and they provided a report outlining my military service and substance abuse issue. Mr. Manalo ran a motion for military diversion. It was a divisive motion where the judge almost granted it after reading the motion and report by Dr. Kojian but she didn’t rule in our favor because of her concerns with public safety. She did state that she would accept a lenient sentence on this, even though the conduct was bad. The City Attorney Agreed. Mr. Manalo discussed the matter further with the City Attorney and asked for a disturbing the peace. She could not offer that since the police officers were injured. We were able to resolve the case for and amended count 10 P.C. 148(a)(1) which is resisting arrest where no force was alleged. I will be placed on summary probation, pay my booking, 90 days of county jail would be suspended and never imposed if I do not violate probation, and just continue the treatment I already receive from the VA. At the end of the summary probation I may expunge the case. The original 9 charges will be dropped I believe he met the goals of my case as best he could considering the case – I avoided nine convictions, placed on informal probation, avoided jail time, and I would only continue with the treatment I'm are already doing. Mr. Leonard Manalo was very helpful and caring throughout this whole process. I feel he really took care of me considering I live in the state of Georgia. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

I cannot stress how relieved I was to find Shouse Law Group online. My son got into some serious trouble in Los Angeles but I'm from the Midwest. I had no idea how to get help. My sister found Shouse Law Group on line and sent me the information. I contacted them and was immediately put in touch w...ith someone who knew how to help. They were so professional and had very good reviews so I took a chance. We hired Leo Manalo who turned out to be very knowledgeable with the type of trouble my son was in. He took charge from the beginning and handled everything for my son, who had several felony charges and strikes against him. He had regular contact with my son which made him feel like someone was out there who cared and also kept in touch with me. Leo answered all questions and returned my calls in a timely manner and was so good at explaining just what was going on with the case. My son is now about to be released on probation including rehab with all but one felony dismissed! Leo Manalo is the kind of attorney I highly recommend. He's forthright, compassionate, hard working and knows how to get things done. Best decision ever made. Period!
