★★★★★ Outstanding representation in a complex international custody case. I can't recommend Michael Manely, Allen Hoffman, and The Manely Firm team highly enough. My case involved international custody and a complex Hague Convention matter — the kind of high-stakes, jurisdictionally tangled situation that could easily overwhelm a family. From the start, they brought real expertise and meticulous preparation to every step. Beyond the legal skill, what stood out was the humanity — they were responsive, explained a complicated process clearly, and never lost sight of what mattered most: my kids' wellbeing. My children are home, where they belong, and they're visibly relieved. Deeply grateful to this team.Read more

Choosing a family lawyer is probably one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. Before filing this case, I met with almost every major family law attorney in Cobb County over a two-month period. From the moment I met Michael Manely, my instinct told me that the Manely Firm was the right choice. Looking back today, I can honestly say I have never regretted that decision for a single moment. I worked majorly very closely with attorneys Billy King, and Emily McClarty, and Allen Hoffman, as well as paralegals Julie Watkins and Catherine Gonzalez. My case involved an international custody fight between Jordan and USA, and I felt they truly understood the complex dynamics at play. They are clearly experienced in what they do. Every single detail, decision, and piece of timing they executed was for a reason. Looking back, I can now see the strategy behind their timing and the method behind every move they made. My advice to future clients: just give them as much information as possible and trust that they are making the best decisions for you. The case could have had a serious impact on my family's future and my daughter's wellbeing. The legal stakes were enormous. Achieving full custody, resolving the case in less than a year, and successfully sealing the entire record to protect my daughter's privacy is nothing short of remarkable. I could not have asked for a better result. It is known as a relatively expensive law firm, but every dollar was an investment in peace of mind and my daughter's safety. You get what you pay for. At the end of the day, everything we do, we do for our children. I feel that they have had a lasting positive impact on my life and my daughter's future. I will always be grateful for their efforts.Read more

Don’t waste your time. I’ve hired them a couple years ago site unseen. Put down a retainer fee of 3500+ I believe it was close to 500 for the first call/lawyer fee. Was doing all of the legwork. Mind you I’ve never been to the office, not once remembered recently I hired them, stopped by the office to pick up my retaining fee because nothing was ever submitted, and I had the credit just sitting there. They told me pretty much in a nutshell as time went by, they took from the account trust, Which in the invoice it doesn’t make any sense and definitely throws a red flag. for example one day it was a $300 fee. Then days later, a $1200 fee then a email fee, etc. which only left me with a balance of $78 and some change. let’s remember I’ve never been to the office not once and nothing was filed or sent out… Instead of them doing the right thing of given the money back or at least half of it they decided to do nothing… Just know if you put a retaining fee and don’t use it, & they see it sitting in the account they’ll help you out. Don’t bother wasting your time or money. #DobetterRead more

After attempting to handle my situation regarding Guardianship, I decided I needed to contact an attorney. I spoke with Ms. Angie. She was very helpful & very patient to answer my questions. I work in customer service & realize the value of the first POC. Thank you for have a pleasant voice/personality to represent your company.Read more
