Manning & Clair Attys. at Law

I wish they had told me that my case was not something they handled. While the case was about a piece of real estate, I really needed a Family Lawyer. To be honest, they were recommended to me by someone else and I did not realize they were "Real estate attorneys". As it was, we lost miserably.

Don't know never cared to call back when i was busy with work, politely asked to call me back. Business must be too good to care.. seems to be the typical attitude had another that never returned a call after multiple msgs recommended from the lake county bar association. Found another that was willing to talk and will be moving forward with.

Great law firm. Has many attorneys to handle various issues. Very knowledgeable of all legal aspects on any issue.

I had brief interactions with Attorney Casey Sovey, and he was competent, realistic and compassionate. This firm is saved in my contacts.

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.
