McManis Faulkner

I have worked with McManis Faulkner for two separate cases and could not be happier. Neda Mansoorian and Carrie Helwick were able to manage the difficult situations with an amazing amount of skill and professionalism. They were able to anticipate the other sides every move and stay ahead of the game. Others have said they are expensive but I say you get what you pay for. I have used other attorneys who were cheaper but in the end did not get the outcome I wanted with far more headaches. Their ability to anticipate what would happen always amazed me. They knew what was coming AND how to handle it to get the outcome we wanted. Don’t hesitate to use McManis Faulkner!

I worked with four different law firms over 15 years of fighting for my children’s lives in Family Court. McManis Faulkner was the fourth to represent me and the best. Jim McManis and Carrie Helwick are simply amazing lawyers. Incredibly professional, irreproachably honest and ethical, exceptionally hard working, and absolute perfectionists. They’re not cheap, but when you need the best, most experienced, high quality law firm available, when your children’s lives are at stake, McManis Faulkner should be your first choice. They have been mine for several years. And my children are safe and sound thanks to their help.

If I could give a negative 1 to this law firm, I would. Have you heard of client abandonment? Yeap, after an outrageous amount of money they took from me with NOTHING to show for, they abandoned me. Yes, and then they had the audacity to try to twist words and blame it on me. They even charged me for having a process server try to serve me with their discharge papers. They are horrible, impersonal, cold people, greedy and their lack of knowledge in divorce cases is laughable. The judge in my case can’t seem to get over the fact that the amount of money she awarded them was so high and they did NOTHING in my case. They still have the audacity to send me bills for things they did after they abandoned me. Be very careful when considering this firm. There is one other review here that is being filtered. I urged you to read it. What that person states in her review is absolutely true. Please do yourself a favor and do not get yourself in trouble by hiring this firm.

I retained the McManis firm for a case. Cathy Becthel and her team, including Carrie Helwick, represented me. They got me a great result in a challenging case. My experience with Cathy was that she knew her practice and her focus was not running up my bill, but rather providing good counsel. I would hire Cathy and Carrie again without hesitation.

Wow! They won’t even return a phone call without a $ 10,000.00 retainer fee!
I hope I get dinner and drinks with this!
