Karthik Krishnan is great.

Leo is the type of lawyer who listens to you and will take the time to see that your needs are met. I had a matter that I needed 24 hours to solve and Leo was there. He's kind and looks out for best interest. I would recommend him to friends and family for the best representation.

John Murray, This man is one of the best lawyers I could ever ask for to defend my brother. My brother is having some legal issues and his patience and guidance has been amazing. I would recommend John to anyone and everyone. I highly recommend John Murray to be the lawyer for you when you are need. -Tracy Gallardo-Rey

Leo was a wonderful Attorney! Even though I had a prior DUI over 10 years ago, Leo got me a great deal with the courts. What I did was wrong and Leo was very non judgmental and helpful. He was excellent in answering and returning my calls/texts whenever I had a question. I didn't even have to appear in court!!! Having the case handled by Leo took all the stress away from a stressful situation. He was able to lower costs and avoid jail for me since I caused private property damage. He was very through and understanding, even when he was on vacation while getting married, I had to ask for more clarification and his staff took care of my case while he was away, so there was never any delay in service, which is amazing! Thank you so much for your help, I am glad I choose your firm to represent me as I researched you online rather than the hundreds of attorneys by mail that are just out to get your money. The price was reasonable for exceptional service. Leo even mentioned if I have any further questions, to always give him a call, wonderful service with integrity!

Mike Scafidi made our life’s so much easier, with all his help with our case. My husband was on probation and couldn’t leave the state, but mike made it possible. He made sure until the last minute to go with us to court and explain to the court that he’s not a flight risk. It was great work. We thank you so much

A few years ago I hired Mr. Scafiddi to represent me in a criminal tax issue case which resulted in a very positive outcome for me and my family. After a long and lengthy, back and forth discussions and negotiations with the state attorney, I was placed on formal probation and could not leave the state or country for any reason for 30 months. In the early part of May of 2019, I asked Mike to ask the probation dept to allow me to attend a weeding for a family member in the mid-west and the probation dept would not allow it. Mr. Scafaddi went up the chain to the Probation Chief and still the answer was no! Upon researching the proper laws and because my issue was not an issue involving a violent crime, Mr. Scafaddi made a motion to have the case heard in court . On the date of court, the judge stated he did not have jurisdiction to hear the case because he (the judge) did not know the law of probation. Mr. Scafaddi and Mr. Daly my other attorney at this law firm researched the law and we appeared a few days later and the same judge was then enlightened with the law and allowed me not only to go on this trip, but to strike that provision out of my probation terms effective the same day we were there. Mr. Scafiddi and his staff attorneys are truly and honestly amazing ! I did not expect to travel out of state but he gave it his best and we prevailed and i am extremely happy with all that he has done for me and my family. he is sincere and you feel his compassion and understanding without being judgmental at all. I reallllllllyyyy recommend this attorney for any issues any one may have!

I was charged with nine counts which comprised of using force to resist arrest, battery upon a police officer, and drunk in public. This arose out of a police call after I stumbled into a stranger's home, caused a ruckus inside, exited the home and was found severely intoxicated by police officer. When the police officers tried to arrest me, I resisted, and caused injuries to several police officers. The initial offer was for probation and 180 days of county jail where I would have to plea to resisting arrest and battery upon a police officer. During the investigation he found that I had substance abuse issues due to your military service. Mr. Leonard helped me to retained the service of a mental health professional and they provided a report outlining my military service and substance abuse issue. Mr. Manalo ran a motion for military diversion. It was a divisive motion where the judge almost granted it after reading the motion and report by Dr. Kojian but she didn't rule in our favor because of her concerns with public safety. She did state that she would accept a lenient sentence on this, even though the conduct was bad. The City Attorney Agreed. Mr. Manalo discussed the matter further with the City Attorney and asked for a disturbing the peace. She could not offer that since the police officers were injured. We were able to resolve the case for and amended count 10 P.C. 148(a)(1) which is resisting arrest where no force was alleged. I will be placed on summary probation, pay my booking, 90 days of county jail would be suspended and never imposed if I do not violate probation, and just continue the treatment I already receive from the VA. At the end of the summary probation I may expunge the case. The original 9 charges will be dropped I believe he met the goals of my case as best he could considering the case - I avoided nine convictions, placed on informal probation, avoided jail time, and I would only continue with the treatment I'm are already doing. Mr. Leonard Manalo was very helpful and caring throughout this whole process. I feel he really took care of me considering I live in the state of Georgia. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.
