Helped me with debt collectors

Their answer about how to stop debt collectors was very helpful. Also this firm has some free recommendations on their site https://www.paulmankin.com/home

Find someone else

I used Paul once before for a small job. To get any information on my case I had to call his personal number on a holiday. I got no statement of any kind for billing hours, and my settlement was paid to me with a money order. I thought I would give him one more try and sent him all the info neede...d for another case. Never even got a reply this time. Like me, he's so successful he doesn't even need client!

REPOSSESSED AUTO LOAN

I have been working with Mr. Mankin for several weeks now on my case, and with time not on my side Mr.Mankin worked quick to get started on my case. He made me aware of the issues that may arise and his legal advise. I am very much over all pleased with Mr.Mankin and his dedication to get the best re...sults for his clients and knowledge of my Repo situation. I trust him and and his trusted team to obtain the best possible outcome for my situation.

Great Lawyer

Bankruptcy is such a hard thing to face on your own. But, I felt never alone when I was working with Mr. Mankin. Him and his staff were very supportive and I never felt judged by them. They gave me the relief I needed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
