I can't ever thank Mr. Manchester enough! He saved mine and my husband's life. Mr. Manchester defended my husband who... had five felony charges...Mr. Manchester is the most kind and caring compassinate man ( but strict) when defending his clients. With all that being said my husband was found "NOT GUILTY" on all five counts. Without a doubt in my mind he's one of the best damn lawyers that you can have on your side. I'm glad he was on ours. Again Brian Manchester thank you from the bottom of our hearts.read more

I very much appreciate all that Mr. Manchester has done for me concerning my defense. I was facing 2 felony charges and... numerous more related to a DUI accident. I was facing up to 7 years in state prison, which got reduced to 45 days in county jail. Mr. Manchester was always there to answer any questions and concerns that I had during the stressful time before the hearings. He accepted many texts and responded to every one in a concerned and caring manner. He was always direct and honest, so I did not get my hopes up in case things did not work out in my favor. He is driven to do the best job that he can for his clients and will give you a professional, but yet, personal outlook on your chances for your defense. I would recommend his services to others and feel comfortable about stating that he is a great choice for your legal needs. He will do the best he can for you, and truly cares about the services that he provides, to get the best possible outcome.read more

The best possible representation you can get! When things were looking grim, I got not only what I thought was the best... case scenario but even better! I was told by other options that I would probably have to face prison time, but Manchester & Associates managed to go above and beyond to make sure that didn't happen. They will always be upfront about your situation, won't make promises, and handle the your case with the utmost professionalism. Would absolutely recommend to those looking for representation in Pennsylvania.read more

Here’s the short review: CALL THIS GUY The longer: I had initially found an attorney in Williamsport on Google... however he said he was not familiar with the laws due to the fact that I lived out of state and had a CDL. He stated he did not know Brian personally however stated as a prosecutor he hated going up against him as Brian was aggressive and knowledgeable. I want to clarify Brian does not come across as an aggressive person, he’s actually quite laid back. No doubt he was referring to his ability to stand his ground as a client advocate. I feel confident that he got me the best possible outcome considering my circumstances. His secretary was prompt and courteous, reminded me of court dates. Brian called me on his cell and clarified any questions. I don’t plan to be in that situation ever again however if I need legal services in that region of Pennsylvania. I know who I’m calling. You would be smart to do the same.read more

I choose not to relive the nightmare experienced in Clarion County, PA but would instead feel compelled to express my... gratitude and appreciation to Brian for his amazing work. I am NOT a resident of Clarion County, nor do I reside in Pennsylvania. Knowing the incompetence of most small town law enforcement coupled with their insatiable appetite for money, I feared for my life, my safety, my assets, my physical well being, my dog's future, my finances & my sanity after being illegally arrested, detained, threatened, harrassed, persecuted, demoralized, disrespected and verbally assaulted. I was faced with the 'Sophie's Choice' of either fleeing the state with a bounty on my head (while enduring the inevitable warrant & extradition) or appearing in court with no legal representation (as I had requested a continuance from the Judge but it was denied). I was desperate and forced to beg for help from an old attorney friend. When the phone call came from Brian, I got on my knees and sacrificed all of remaining beef jerkey, chicken bones, camping candles.....whatever I could find to thank the Lawyer God for Brian. It is important to know that when I made that desperate phone call, it was Labor Day weekend, when most of the US is boating, gambling, sleeping, fishing, biking or camping. I kid you not, Brian not only picked up the phone (while clearly enjoying a well-deserved vacation), he spoke with me for over an HOUR! He was clear, responsive, knowledgeable, honest, respectful, genuine, forthcoming, patient & experienced. He followed through with every single promise and commitment made on the initial phone call. He was nothing short of amazing! I am eternally grateful to him for many things. I found his rates more than reasonable. When it comes to dealing with a corrupt legal system, any price is worth paying. I think he was the best bargain in Western Pennsylvania. I will gladly speak to anyone who is mistrustful of the 'feedback' or 'review' component on Google or who may need more information. I am not a 'paid actor' ....this is not an 'infomercial' I am just one of those people who will be deeply grateful to Brian.read more

Manchester and Associates is a top notch law firm. From the start to finish Brian Manchester was incredibly... professional and helpful throughout the entire process. They are quick to return calls, emails and answer any questions you may have. I am a medical marijuana patient in Pennsylvania that was charged with a DUI. Due to the work he put into my case, and his understanding of the science behind the testing and DUI law in PA I was able to get the DUI charge dropped. I highly recommend Manchester and Associates for any legal help you may need.read more

When we got a call that our son was arrested we were in a state of panic. Someone recommended Brian Manchester and he... met with us for over an hour, patiently answering our questions. He is extremely competent and confident and we had great faith in him throughout this process. Brian was able to lower a felony to a misdemeanor with no jail time. He is always straightforward and honest. He is the best lawyer we have ever had and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.read more

Brian Manchester is AMAZING! My fiance was facing some serious charges and if they gave her the maximum for everything... it could have been 17 years. But with Brian's help it was down to 21 months! He has experts he can call, he has an amazing work ethic, and his brain works like a super computer. He always responds fast. He's 100% honest about everything. You can tell just by being around him for 5 minutes that he's earned that level of confidence because of the level of his skill. Brian, if you're reading this I just wanted to say you should wear a cape because you're the Legal Superman. I would recommend you every day of the week. Thank you so much!read more

You'd be a fool to go with anyone else. Mr Manchester made me feel calm in a very hectic situation and was very quick... to return my calls and explain things to me that I had never dealt with before. He won't sugar coat things and will be very real with you. He was able to settle my situation promptly and I am so very thankful for the work he did. J. Figueroaread more
