Made life easier

The Manning Law firm was great to work with. They helped my family through litigation against my mortgage bank and were with us all they way. I would highly recommend them to help you against the big banks.

Outstanding Proponent of Consumer Rights

Mr. Joseph Manning and his adroit team took immediate control of a bad situation when my mother was in danger of losing her home. Her mortgage company had breached her contract and ignored her all our contacts then attempted to see her home without properly notifying her. Kudos to Mr. Manning, his as...sociates, particularly, attorney Ms Janet Harris esq, and analysts Greg Greco with Jacob Meier in support. Without their assistance, an 89-year-old woman and a widow would have lost her home due to the predatory actions of her lender. We were well informed in each stage of the process. They have my strongest recommendations as being far and above, attorneys feared by opposing counsel as effective litigators, well prepared and with an excellent courtroom demeanor.

This law office did what others could not

We had been in a battle with a large bank and pending foreclosure for nearly 8 years. As a last resort before leaving our property I received a letter from the office of Joseph Manning reaching out to help us. This was our last chance, all of our money nearly depleted. This law office did what we ...had tried to do with so many other agencies and avenues before them. We are over the moon that we finally received a settlement we were content with. We couldn't have done it without this law group. Very, very happy and we will always recommend them!

The best law office!

I had been receiving repeated unwanted and unsolicited phone calls and texts for quite sometime that were making my life miserable. I had stopped answering my phone almost completely when The Manning Law Office came on the scene. I had not known that these kinds of calls/texts are illegal. They imme...diately began holding the offenders responsible. The calls/texts have almost stopped completely and i can answer my phone again. I havent had much luck with attorneys in the past and I was sceptical at first but Mr Manning and his employees have shown me that there actually are some good attorneys out there. They have treated me with respect, kept me informed and they get results. The Manning Law Office is the best!

My matter was handled very professionally and efficiently. I was receiving unwanted robo-calls on my cell phone, and this is against the law. The calls have stopped, and I received damages from the bad guys. Mr. Manning and his staff are the best!
