Jeremy G.

“I was referred to Manchester and Associates and started out talking with Brian. He was very helpful and talked with me several times. He always called me back or responded back to my text messages and this was before I even hired them to represent me. Greg did a great job as my lawyer representing me. Especially in person, I really liked how he was in the court room setting. He was there for ME, he wasn’t there to say one or two words to me then go buddy up with the DA.”

Odin K.

“Hands down best lawyer. My fiancé needed some legal representation. So we called Brian and it was the best decision we made. He walked us through the charges and explained everything to us. His confidence alone made us feel better. Some of those charges ended up being just fines and some were dropped entirely. Brian’s team of lawyers are top tier. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a lawyer that’s a straight shooter and confident.”
