Brian Manchester is a true professional! I am from outside PA. When I received my charges I knew I needed a really good... lawyer. I started with an internet search and came up with a list of lawyers that could handle my case. I did some research on them and Brian came up well recommended. So I called his firm. I explained my case to the staff member that answered the phone. They then put Brian on the phone. After talking to him for a few minutes, I felt very comfortable with him handling my case, so I hired him on the spot. He and his staff were very easy to work with. In the end he got me the best results I could hope for! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great criminal defense lawyer!read more

I would highly recommend Manchester & Associates to everybody. They were recommended to me by another law firm. When I... made the call to talk to them, I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to discuss my case directly with Attorney Manchester himself. We talk about what my option were, and they said it would be no problem to represent me in this case. They did not have much time to prepare before my preliminary hearing and I was instructed to look for Attorney Davidson at the hearing location a half hour before it was time. When I found Attorney Davidson he explained to me what their plan was and I also found from listening to Greg talk to other attorneys how very well versed in the law and the situation that I found myself in he was. Much to my surprise I was able to plead guilty to a much lesser misdemeanor and walked out paying less than 10% of what I could have been looking at and more important, I faced on incarceration time what so ever. They did exactly what Brian told me they would do. Again, thank you Attorney Manchester and the very knowledgeable Attorney Davidson.read more

We hired Brian Manchester when my daughter was charged with crimes after being a passenger in a motor vehicle accident... when she was actually a victim. She was (and is) still recovering when she was charged. Because she was in a wheelchair and recovering, Brian came to OUR HOME in the middle of nowhere on a Saturday to meet with us. He looked at the evidence and realized her being charged at all was wrong.. He got the charges dismissed without my daughter ever stepping foot in a Courthouse, as they never should have occurred in the first place, and she is now being treated like the victim she truly is. We cannot thank him enough and would highly recommend him and his associates! He does what it takes to get the best results possible. It doesn't get better than having the charges completely dismissed and expunged. Definitely worth it.read more

Almost 2 years ago, I found myself in need of a lawyer to fight a case for me, that if I lost, it could've cost me my... job. When I met with Brian I was impressed with his confidence and experience on cases similar to mine. I decided to use him as my lawyer, and it was the best decision I could have made. Over the course of 2 years he stuck with my case, stayed in contact with me on new developments, and always answered any questions I had. Once we had exhausted all options on attempting to settle the case, my only option was go to trial. When I asked Brian what he thought my chances were, his response was "I don't go trial to lose." He wasn't kidding, 2 days ago Brian spent 6 hours in court on my behalf and utilizing his experience and expert witness, I was found not guilty! I am beyond grateful to Brian for his work, and would recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in need of representation.read more

Brian represented me in a case that could have turned out really bad for me. He was upfront with me about everything.... Very professional but easy to talk to and always available to answer questions. If he couldn't speak to me at that moment he promptly returned my call in a timely fashion. He was able to negotiate a deal that was better than the best possible outcome I could have asked for. he definitely knows his way around a court room and everyone in the courtroom in Lycoming County including the DA and judge had a lot of respect for him and a good working relationship with him. I could not be more pleased with his representation and the outcome he somehow negotiated for me. I can not recommend him enough. If you are in a situation like me and need a lawyer give this firm a call immediately. I promise you will not be disappointed.read more

I can’t say enough good things about this law firm and the attorney who represented me on two different charges. Greg... Davidson was the attorney on my cases. He kept in touch with me, he returned my phone calls and was there any time I needed assistance. If you find yourself in a position where you, unfortunately, need legal counsel, I highly recommend this law firm. They are professional, reliable, and have reasonable fees.read more
