This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

BEWARE he takes your $ and disappears

I hired and paid 2 retainer fees- he has now disappeared. His phone is turned off. He has not been at the office space he was at for months. I found a secondary phone number for him thru a deep google dive and it goes directly to VM with him answering the VM message. He has not responded to dozens of... messages or emails. I have been served with important papers that require my lawyer. This is a great way to find out I hired a conman. Now I don’t have my defense paperwork, (assuming he did any). I am out $7,000 I did find his home address and tried to hand deliver a message to him. I was unable to. I will mail it snail mail. In addition to this I found dozens of former emails, and cellphone numbers. Super sketchy. BEWARE!

Adoption Case

I paid for him to handle my adotion case on September 2017. Anyway, two months latter, he called my son to tell all things was sent out. From there to now, i tried to contact him, but he didn’t answer anything including emails. When my son also tried to send him email, but he answered “i will call yo...u tomorrow.” But it have been 2 weeks, he did not answer. Need to pay attention to my case, and answer when i need. Not keep everything in client!!!

Huge recommendation

I recently retained Mr. Maniscalco for a personal injury case following an automobile accident. He was extremely dependable, efficient, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the process. He made the entire process seamless and completely stress free. I would highly recommend Mr. Manisca...lco to anyone! He is absolutely first rate!

Personal legal counsel referral

Mr. Maniscalco has served as my personal, legal counsel for the last 2 years. The legal work that Mr. Maniscalco was retained for includes: Small business start-up, Estate planning, Partnership purchase & Transaction disputes. Mr. Maniscalco is assertive and client focused. The end result of eac...h case was in the best interest of his client.

Business

I retained Mr. Maniscalco two years ago to handle a lease negotiation for my retail space. He was extremely professional and most importantly answered the phone. Since then he has organized a LLC and an operating agreement for an additional business I formed. With the new business I had a business di...spute. Mr. Maniscalco effectively negotiated a resolution to the dispute and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. I am more than confidant having him deal with all civil matters relating to my small business and highly recommend him.
