About David

David Manes is one of the founding partners of Kraemer, Manes & Associates. He directs the small business practice team and co-directs the firm’s litigation team. Attorney Manes represents small businesses, shareholders, employers, and employees. He represents clients near the firm’s headquarters in Pittsburgh and across Pennsylvania.

The majority of David’s practice involves providing advice, consultation, and representation for small businesses. David knows that small businesses don’t need a full-time attorney on staff, but every business needs a good business attorney. For dozens of small businesses in the Pittsburgh area, David is the attorney they call when a legal issue arises.

David’s practice also involves a significant amount of work representing employees in disputes with their employers and other litigation matters.where he aggressively represents his clients’ interest in negotiations and in court.

Before co-founding KM&A, David was a partner at the Kisner Law Firm, which he first joined as an employee in 2010. Before that, he gained firsthand experience working with small businesses at Sain Law, LLC.

David earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law where he was a staff editor on the award-winning JURIST legal news service and a member of the Moot Court Board. He was also the champion of the Murray S. Love Mock Trial Competition. Before law school, he graduated summa cum laude from Harding University with a degree in Political Science.

David’s pro bono work has included representing and assisting low-income clients through Neighborhood Legal Services and the Christian Legal Aid clinic.

David Manes is admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. He grew up in Cranberry Township in Butler County, and he now lives in Pittsburgh with his wife, Heather, and their dog, Moxie.
