If I could give more than FIVE STARS, I would! I came to Matthew Buttacavoli and his team, Vicky…read moreZuberi and Christina Wheat, during a very stressful time in my life. I was facing an incredibly high-conflict family law matter that was destined for long and expensive litigation. I had been dealing with a very difficult & extremely high conflict situation for years, with long litigation in the past. As a result, I fully believed I would only obtain a reasonable & favorable resolution through court. A peaceful resolution seemed impossible. so, I felt like I needed a judge to step in and save me... But I was wrong. Matthew's negotiation skills are truly unmatched. He impressed me so much! I had read a review about Matthew that said something like, "Just pull out the popcorn and watch him work." Well, that was my experience with him as well! When it was action-time, it was like watching a movie! When dealing with the other side, he's very persuasive and his points are compelling. He had a way of articulating & advocating my position that they couldn't argue with. And not only did he get me a huge win, he was somehow able to help improve our co-parenting relationship, which I had believed to be too far gone. My situation was unique, nuanced, and very complicated, but he came up with a truly wise & highly strategic plan, and executed it perfectly from start to finish. Matthew is also very mindful of the costs. He purposefully didn't just 'run the clock'; he made sure to be perfectly prepared for everything, while at the same time hedging against extra costs. Matthew, Vicky, and Christina actively worked to find a path toward a settlement that I never thought was possible. They were absolute rockstars from start to finish. They are meticulous with details, always responsive, very professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Matthew and his team achieved what my current wife and I thought was impossible. It's been over a week since our victory has been official, and we are still pinching ourselves! My family has been celebrating for over a week, and we're still celebrating! It feels unreal! If you want a lawyer that can truly fight for you, supports you, has unmatched negotiation skills, who will take a very strategic approach, can talk sense into the most difficult & unreasonable situations, and who genuinely cares, then you need to choose Matthew & his team! No matter what your situation looks like, he's more than equipped. He really has a way of cutting through the noise of a high-conflict case to focus on what actually matters. By reaching a settlement without having to litigate, Matthew, Vicky and Christina saved my family an incredible amount of time, stress, and money. Walking away with a victory for my family without the stress & cost of a courtroom battle is the greatest gift Matthew and his team could have given us. If you are looking for a legal team that is sharp, ethical, and capable of achieving the impossible, you need to hire them. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business.

What stood out to me most was that he delivered on his commitment. There were times when I wasn't sure what the outcome would be, but Gene consistently reassured me that he would do everything he could to resolve my case. In the end, he secured a settlement that I am truly grateful for. The result was far better than I anticipated, and I appreciate the work that was done on my behalf. If you're looking for an attorney who will stand by his word and see a case through to the end, I would recommend Gene and his team in a heartbeat. Thank you, Gene.

I retained this firm around February-March 2023 after being hopeful that my experience would be…read moredifferent from some of the negative reviews I had seen. Unfortunately, at this point, my experience has been extremely disappointing. I have two car accident cases that this firm is supposed to be handling. I have not heard from anyone since December 2024. I sent emails on January 7th, January 8th, and January 15th, and have not heard back. When I called to follow up on my case on January 19th, the receptionist was unable to answer some questions and said someone would call me back within 48 hours or that week the latest. As of today January 27th, I still have not received a call or an email. This lack of communication is extremely frustrating, stressful, and disappointing--especially when dealing with accident cases where timelines matter. I feel stuck because they are handling both of my accidents, yet I have no idea what is happening with my cases. What should have been a straightforward legal process has turned into a nightmare due to the complete lack of follow-up and transparency.

I want to share my experience with John D. Rogers because he genuinely changed my life. I came to…read morehim during one of the most stressful moments I've ever faced. I had been falsely accused, and the fear, confusion, and uncertainty were overwhelming. From the first moment we spoke, John stood out as someone real. calm, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. He listened to me, really listened, and treated me with respect and dignity. He never tried to scare me or sell me anything. He explained everything clearly, guided me step by step, and made sure I understood my rights and what to expect. His professionalism and humanity gave me the peace of mind I desperately needed. Thanks entirely to his expertise and the way he handled my case, the District Attorney dismissed everything. No charges filed. My name cleared. The relief I felt is something I'll never forget. If you are looking for someone who is skilled, honest, and genuinely cares about protecting your future, I cannot recommend John D. Rogers enough. I am deeply grateful for him, and anyone who hires him will be in the best hands possible. Thank you, John. I will always appreciate what you did for me.

I am a father who was falsely accused of a serious felony, jailed, and then had the charges…read morerejected by the DA only for the same allegations to be carried into family court that very day. I was isolated from my child's school, medical records, and even asked to notify a foreign embassy. I lived under extreme isolation, my time stolen, forced into 11 months of supervised visits just 6 hours a week under a TRO. Through all of this, I fought for my child and was left alone by everyone except Simon and Merve. They stood by me when nobody else did. Thank you, Simon. Thank you, Merve. You are the best. I worked with Simon during a very difficult and complex family law case. I have seen many attorneys during my journey and with respect to freedom of speech, I can honestly call most of them clowns. Simon is the only real trial attorney i have seen in my experience. My former attorney was lazy, incompetent, manipulative, and refused to file my counterclaim in a DV hearing. He charged me $35k while gaslighting me, putting fear in me, and ignoring my evidence even though I was the victim and had serious criminal court level evidences in my favor. I told him my child was in danger, but he did not care at all. After I fired him, he even sent my personal notes to opposing counsel. He nearly allowed my child to be kidnapped during trial if I had accepted his manipulation. Simon and Merve were completely different. They saw reality, experienced about how the system works, and fought for me and my child. From the beginning I told them I didn't care about myself everything was about protecting my child. Simon and Merve listened, shared my concerns, and kept me informed every step of the way. He has a heart, and even though the legal system often runs on cold templates, he has lived through enough to show real empathy while still being sharp, strategic, and aggressive when needed. Merve is the sweetest person, and as a parent herself, she gave me emotional support during the most difficult time of my life . or 11 months, I was limited to supervised visits -- just 6 hours a week. It was hell. They helped me endure that period and ultimately secured my freedom and my child's safety. They cleared my name, secured the protection my child and I deserve, and moved the case forward even though the opposing side constantly delayed, lied, and tried to abuse the process. Simon is extremely detailed, naturally strategic, and puts in real effort for his clients. Do not expect him to be cheap, but he is worth it if your life and your children's safety are on the line. Merve Degirmencioglu was also deeply involved. I admire her intelligence, her strategic thinking, and her genuine care for children above all. Together, they are an excellent team. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate Simon and Merve. They gave me back my voice, my dignity, and most importantly, my child's safety.

Dear Manning Law Firm,…read more I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional legal representation and support provided by your esteemed firm. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the Manning brothers, Joe and Mike Manning, for establishing such a reputable firm. Joe Manning, the founder of Manning Law, has built a firm known for its professionalism, expertise, and dedication. The reputation of your firm speaks volumes about Joe's visionary leadership and profound understanding of the legal landscape. I am truly grateful for the solid foundation he has established. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge Mike Manning, who, as a trusted friend for 40 years and brother to Joe, contributes to the overall success of Manning Law. His experience and legal knowledge undoubtedly play a significant role in the firm's achievements. I would also like to express my appreciation to the entire team at Manning Law Firm. From the paralegals to the administrative staff, everyone has shown exceptional professionalism and expertise. The seamless coordination and collaboration within your firm reflect a high level of dedication to your clients. I wish I could give high accolades to all but there was one attorney who held my case up for almost 2 years before the statute of limitations. My case was a contingency case but to have a client sign a retainer and wait nearly 2 years to file in the hopes someone else takes over is a little unnerving. Especially since the fee agreement is based on time to a certain extent which is unattainable if you don't file the case for 2 years. Something seems off when this happens. If I were to speculate I could think of a few unsavory reasons one would do this. However in the end my case settled which I knew it would due to my personal experience with what happened to me. Sadly it probably could have settled with greater defrayment. If I was an attorney who was simply to busy to handle another case then I certainly wouldn't dare to have a client sign a retainer without knowing I could handle the case in a timely manner. So I would like to offer some constructive criticism regarding my case to BH. While I understand that every case has its challenges, lack of communication and the resulting delays, which brought my case to a standstill leaves room for improvement. If the Manning Law Firm wasn't the umbrella here this would be a very different post. So believing the collective is stronger then one subpar experience with an offshoot I won't change my mindset regarding the firm. So I still say if you need help go to Manning Law. Thanks again!
