Manning Firm

Shannon handled my father's estate, I'm a few states away but through the whole process I was updated and informed on what was going on. Very trustworthy and easy to work with. Thank you!

I know my attorney seemed to actually care, but I am unhappy with the results. It felt like both attorneys were more like realtors just trying to close a deal.

The last place you want to go is to a domestic attorney for that usually means things are not going the greatest in your life. I went to see Celina @ Manning & Clair because I was referred by a good friend and I knew he would recommend someone that could represent me to the best of their ability. I spoke with Celina and we prepared to obtain custody of my daughter. Our preparation was stellar and on point, the biggest problem we faced was a flawed system. I say this because after throwing in the towel the first attempt, which was based on not enough incriminating evidence, we attempted a second time. Which I may add the second attempt to gain custody seemed far more obvious than the first that I would win custody, but again our system had failed our valiant efforts. During one of the most difficult times in a father's life his attorney becomes more than representation, they become hope and somewhat of a friend when your are at your lowest. Celina provided me advise when my head was going in 10 different directions and occasionally emotionally distraught. Even though I did not gain custody, our efforts made a big enough ripple effect that things have turned 180° and I am fully confident and at ease with where my daughter is and free of any danger I feel she may be in. I owe that to Celina and her compassion and professionalism. Without making an effort, there would be no positive impact, and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you Manning & Clair, and thank you Celina for all your time, effort, sincere concern and dedication. I will definitely recommend this firm in the future.

I have had the privilege of working with Celina at Manning and Clair regarding domestic issues related to shared parenting, child support, and interpretation of the most current laws and legal precedents. I’ve been impressed with her professionalism since day one. Celina is very quick to follow up or respond to any of my queries, even texting or calling to reply after normal business hours - always greatly appreciated. I cannot begin to explain how much it means to have the confidence that comes with excellent, knowledgeable, professional legal representation. I would recommend Manning and Clair, and specifically Celina, to my closest friends or relatives.

Celina was very knowledgeable, kind, and understanding about my domestic relation issues. She put an extraordinary amount of time and effort into preparing for court and helped me get my children back!! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer. I am extremely pleased with the job she did for me!! Thank you so much Celina!
