Rarely available when needed, emails and phone calls often left unattended for days, anger from staff if pushed to answer concerns, switched from case worker to case worker with little information to new case worker, use of money not detailed, placement in independent living community that is American Hell House for anyone under 80 with no major physical or mental disabilities, if one does or says anything one's actions are retaliated by this firm via hospitalization for "assessments" even though hospitalizations are considered by nurses and doctors as "completely unnecessary...normal reaction to loss of cat" in facility said to be pet friendly (mine died within 3 days). Left to sleep on floor for first month, got mattress 2nd and boxspring 3rd month even though in need of surgery on left shoulder - surgery was cancelled by them without telling me. No health insurance due to their incompetence, constant and differing excuses for not getting Medicare for me (I will be 67 in 5 months) thus everything medically necessary is being billed at highest cost which will soon put me into bankruptcy. Also lost my car due to lack of help with totally unnecessary bill for tires - son says he and they didn't want me to have a car anyway even though I had no difficulties in driving to usual places, got COVID and screamed at by residents with no staff available to deal with the situation, accidental head injury forced call to 911 as my cable bill had gone unpaid for months and was cut off leaving me with no way to get help (huge bill will include MRI and x-rays, ambulance there and ride back) while independent living is NOT independent, especially with no car. I've become a prisoner of these people, and the subpar senior living Hell House they placed me in, with absolutely no rights thus requiring the help of an attorney to get my life back. If all of this doesn't scare you and you really do not wish the best for yourself or really dislike a loved one, I would highly recommend this firm as retaliation expertise and incompetence should be listed in every form of advertising they use.

I want to begin by acknowledging a positive aspect of this firm: the front office staff is…read moreconsistently friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. That level of courtesy does not go unnoticed. However, my experience as the executor of my mother's estate has been deeply frustrating and, at times, disheartening. Following my mother's passing, I never had the opportunity to meet with an attorney to review or discuss the estate. Instead, all of my communication was handled through a legal assistant. While she was kind and personable, I was repeatedly given information that was inaccurate regarding the legal requirements for closing the estate. On multiple occasions, I was told that certain documents were required to be prepared by an attorney in the state of Michigan. This was simply not true. The documents in question can, in fact, be completed by an individual and properly notarized without legal representation. The first document I requested was a Certificate of Trust. I was advised that this document must be completed by an attorney and that most title companies require it. Knowing this was incorrect, I still chose to proceed with the firm preparing the document for the sake of efficiency. While I do not regret that decision, I do find it troubling that such misrepresentations are made--especially to individuals who may be navigating grief and unfamiliar legal processes at a vulnerable time. A second document was also prepared under the same premise--that it required an attorney's involvement. Again, this was inaccurate. This document is publicly accessible and can be completed without legal assistance. When I was unable to locate it on my own, my bank was able to guide me through the process without difficulty. This further underscored the unnecessary nature of the service I was led to believe I needed. I find this pattern of misrepresentation not only unprofessional, but deeply disappointing given the circumstances under which many clients seek estate services. Families deserve transparency, honesty, and guidance they can trust. A fair resolution, in my view, would be a refund for the second document. Unfortunately, my attempts to address this directly have gone unanswered, as I have not received return calls from the legal assistant. In closing, I strongly encourage anyone serving as an executor to thoroughly research their responsibilities and options. It is important to understand that not all documents require legal preparation, and informed decisions can help avoid unnecessary expenses during an already difficult time. It is truly unfortunate to feel this level of doubt when seeking professional legal guidance.

Rachel was unbelievably helpful in planning and placement to a wonderful apartment facility. After the initial placement, Mannor law firm then helped us to navigate the many different branches of government so that my parents would receive the maximum help available to them. I am convinced that the average person could not effectively navigate these systems. Mannor Law then had Eric, another specialist who works with them, help us apply to the V.A. for retirement benefits for my father. Initially my father was turned down but Eric (like the rest of the members of Mannor Law) just doesn't give up and after a lot of his work, my father did receive the benefits. In short, we went to Mannor Law somewhat lost and not knowledgeable enough to effectively take care of our parents as we wanted to. Mannor Law accomplished so much more than we could have without them and better than that, what they accomplished paid for their services in less than one year! Using Mannor Law was by far one of the best decisions that I have ever made!

WARNING; EXTREME UNPROFESSIONALISM! I had such a negative experience with Ann-Marie Okros and was…read moreforced into a position of having to replace her because she was just so unprofessional. From being late, unprepared, and unresponsive, to finally stealing $3,000 from me after she basically forced me to switch attorneys. After some research I see from other reviews that my experience isn't uncommon. When you're fighting for your children or going through divorce you really need someone that's gonna fight for you. Ann-Marie barely showed up for me. If you want more frustration during one of the most trying times of your life, hire her to get ripped and get robbed. I've added more below. PLEASE READ FOR YOUR SAKE. Note; I don't believe in writing a bad review unless it's absolutely necessary. This is unfortunately necessary. I'm keeping this as brief as possible which means I'll be leaving out a ton of details but you'll get the gist of it. My experience with Ann-Marie as my attorney is far from positive. I had used her in the past and almost fired her because of lack of communication and to be quite honest, she comes off as extremely lazy, very unorganized, and terribly unresponsive. The ONLY reason I used her for this last hearing was because I had a credit on file with her firm of over $2,000 and she was already retained for my custody stuff. We jumped into a new motion for custody against me and it was same old, same old. She doesn't return calls, doesn't respond to emails promptly if at all, and it's extremely frustrating. She blew through the $2,000 credit in just a couple weeks and her invoices are "reviewed emails and worked on case". How does one blow through $2,000 in pay by reading emails? She hasn't even responded to them so, what on earth? Regardless, this is a fight for my children and she knows enough of the details and enough about my divorce that I really don't think it's a good idea to try to switch attoneys so I'm gonna white knuckle it. That was a big mistake. Very first hearing before the judge she comes in 10 minutes late, speed walking down the court hallway, hair is a mess, she's holding a stack of papers literally 10" thick, her outfit in shambles, papers flying, and eyes filled with panic. I'm looking at her literally embarrassed that this is my representation. Then she sits down next to me nearly out of breath and starts hounding me for information. I've sent her a ton of emails giving every detail, every account, tons of evidence, character letters, everything needed and now she's hounding me for information, showing clearly she hasn't "reviewed emails and worked on case" like her invoice claims. Ugh... We lost in court and I lost my kids, against false accusations and zero evidence. Hang in there cause it gets worse. We set an FOC (Friend of Court) hearing with a referee and get this reversed. I start preparing for this hearing and Ann-Marie is showing me a few signs of hope by actually responding to emails and answering calls, not consistently but enough to keep me hanging on. She sent me another invoice for $3,000 and reluctantly I paid her. BAM! Instance silence. She's got my money and immediately becomes unresponsive. There are other reviews out there describing her the same way. Unfortunately I read those reviews AFTER all this. So she's got my $3,000 and I can't get a peep out of her. I'm in the fight of my life for my children and she's gone silent. I need to know we have a plan, and know she received my email with my evidence and witness list and documentation and pertinent information but no response. In a move of desperation I did some research and hired another attorney. Literally the day I hire the other attorney, Ann-Marie calls me. Complete shocker because I wasn't even sure she was still living. I told her I retained another attorney AND SHE COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD! She told me she was sorry for not responding to my attempts of communication and she understood why I hired another attorney. She ADMITTED she dropped the ball on my case. The honesty was appreciated, but it gets worse. She refuses to give me a refund! After her admittance of guilt you'd think she'd agree and refund my $3,000. NOTE: This was money paid IN ADVANCE. She didn't send me a bill for services rendered but she was going to draw off that $3,000. That's how attorneys work. They get paid in advance. SHE COMPLETELY REFUSES THE REFUND! Even now, my case isn't closed because there were some hang ups and my ex refuses to sign the agreement, so i've offered her a chance to work off some of the $3,000 and she refuses to respond. I was hoping to give her a chance to redeam herself but she continues to demonstrate a serious lack of integrity. COMPLETE WASTE. Get in touch if you want more details. Erik Emery 231-649-7744
