Manikas PLC

"Mr Manikas recently represented me within Fairfax County Traffic Court. Very unexpectedly (at least to me), he was able to get my charges reduced. I was shocked. But even without this positive result, I would still want to give Mr. Manikas a glowing review. From my first contact with the law firm to my most recent communication, Mr. Manikas and his staff have been nothing but helpful, courteous, snd professional. They have promptly answered and/or investigated all of my questions and concerns, providing me with complete and thoughtful answers. I was also impressed that Mr. Manikas himself was my attorney. When searching for a lawyer, I contacted a couple of people, only to have my case sent to a lower-level associate instead. Instead, when you contact Mr. Manikas, you will speak with and be represented by him. I can’t recommend Mr. Manikas enough. I hope to never again need his services, but if I did, I would not hesitate to hire him again."

"Mr. Manikas was referred to me by a friend, and initially I didn't expect much. But as soon as I met him, he seemed to have a game plan and made me feel relaxed. He got a continuance and I was certain my reckless driving would result in something terrible, but Mr. Manikas got it down to an Improper Driving charge and completely exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended. I certainly hope I will never have to use his services for charges again, but if I do, he is definitely my go to lawyer in Fairfax county."

"Having never been to court, and not knowing anything about the VA court system (being from out of state), or the VA traffic laws with respect to speeding/reckless driving (I will never speed again in VA) or hiring a lawyer, I selected Mr. Manikas based upon other reviews I read plus his proximity to the courthouse where my case was to be heard. This turned out to be an excellent choice. Mr. Manikas clearly explained what I needed to do and was able to calm my worst fears for the possible outcomes. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in a similar predicament."

"I was charged for reckless driving 32mph over the limit. Upon first consultation, Mr. Manikas appeared personally knowledgeable about the Fairfax justice system, prosecutors, and judges of the court. After I hired Mr. Manikas, he gave specific recommendations for activities that would give me a stronger case for reduction. Mr. Manikas got the charge down to 19mph over the limit and a $150 fine. He accomplished exactly what I had hoped for. Excellent lawyer."

"When faced with a number of charges and unsure of my recourse or the legal process, Mr. Manikas was able to clearly explain all of my options for the best possible defense. His years of experience are clearly evident in his understanding of the Court's various processes and personalities at different levels, and his ability to research and execute uncommon procedures on my behalf was truly impressive. Mr. Manikas was able to minimize the amount of time spent in courtrooms and obtain fair and favorable outcomes in each case. He and his staff maintained open lines of friendly communication to keep me informed of their progress and any new developments, and in some cases went above and beyond my expectations to work with all parties to mount the strongest legal response possible. His fees are very reasonable and easily understood. I would strongly recommend Mr. Manikas' services for misdemeanor traffic offenses or alcohol-related charges in Fairfax County."
