"The Manly Firm was absolutely wonderful! First experience I’ve had with lawyers they were always right on top of everything I asked of them and a wonderful job representing me in court. Because of them, my life has changed for the better and I have my kids back and we as a family couldn’t be any happier! I highly recommend using them without them. My kids wouldn’t have their father back."

"Horrible, Horrible, Horrible Law firm as an attorney. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. I had Kourtney Bernard-Rance as my attorney and team. I gave them $6500 and within about 2 weeks they used $4400 of it and didn’t do anything for me, but take my money. I told them to stop everything and send me my remaining balance and I should have had over $2300-$2500 remaining because I also sent them a payment over $500. They told me I had no money coming back to me. I definitely would not recommend them to anyone. They are only about taking your money. Do not use this Law Firm at all. Thank You"
