I would give a ZERO if possible

My experience with Shelley Rich Manning was nothing but disappointing. Ms. Manning had information given to her immediately upon contacting her from my ex's accountant. Once Ms. Manning presented it to me I told her I didn't want to pursue this any further as it wasn't worth it. She called and ema...iled stating that she didn't agree with the information provided and per her calculations I was leaving over $40K on the table. She asked for a video call to talk with me about it which I agreed to. Of course I ended up following her advice and spend thousand's, of which I didn't have (she also knew this) for her to negotiate this. It took a total of 16 months. I did have to hold off a bit to get a large payment together for her so there was a bit of delay on my part. Once I paid an additional sum, Ms. Manning switched out attorney's on me because she had a big case load and this was a fairly simply case that someone else in her firm could easily handle. In the end, a forensic accountant came back with the exact amount that we had been given to Ms. Manning in the first place. The new attorney agreed with this. I spent thousands and received basically nothing. Ms. Manning gave me horrible advice. Ms Manning was completely wrong in her evaluation and recommendation of continuing with this "simple" situation. She made thousands, I received nothing.

Excellent attorney

She is honest and smart and made a stressful process manageable. Appreciative of the services I received.

Professional

Highly recommend Shelley Manning. Incredibly professional and very compassionate. She was extremely competent, organized and dependable. Would use her again and definitely refer my friends.

Highly Recommended

I hired Mrs. Manning when I was going through a very difficult divorce after 25 years of marriage. From the very start, she proved to be my firm advocate. Throughout the entire process she was extremely dependable and responsive to all of my questions and needs. She kept the entire process as streaml...ined as possible, and kept me fully informed along the way. I felt like the entire situation was under control and that I was always in good hands. I highly recommend her and have referred her to a few acquaintances, all with great experiences.

Professional and compassionate!

Shelley represented me in my divorce after a long marriage involving custody issues and a family business. She put me at ease in our first meeting. She is professional and compassionate. She was aggressive when necessary but also encouraged resolutions that kept my costs down. I was kept informed... throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her to friends and family.
