• Kyle Manikas is an excellent criminal defense attorney and trial lawyer. He successfully defended a member of my family against multiple unfair felony charges in a complicated case that took several days to try. Mr. Manikas is an incredibly hard worker. He knows the law and prepares meticulously. He made strategic use of legal tools that other lawyers we had consulted never mentioned were available. He is a masterful litigator in the courtroom. In this case, he achieved a remarkably positive outcome, even earning compliments from the judge for his outstanding work. Mr. Manikas also was a skillful negotiator on other unrelated charges. In addition, Kyle was a wise, calming advisor during very stressful times. From the first time we talked with him, he gave us hope. He was always prompt in returning phone calls and kept us well-informed of his progress and thinking. There was never any doubt that he honestly cared about his client and about providing the best possible legal representation that he could. He proved himself to be trustworthy and effective. I have the highest regard for Mr. Manikas and absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs legal help. We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. N.V., Fairfax County

• I have nothing but superlatives for Kyle Manikas. He thoroughly researched my son's case and developed a sound strategy on that basis. Of course, a crowded court calendar forced a change of courtrooms and a consequent change in strategy. The resulting continuance and an unrelated event created the need for further research. As a former prosecutor he was cognizant of the likely stance of the county attorney [prosecutor] on the new trial date and had all the documents prepared for a conditional dismissal. He accomplished the best possible result for my son while being positive and reassuring the entire time, despite all the complications. He did all this for the promised flat fee. He took and returned calls all hours at his earliest opportunity. He was polite, pleasant, and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend him.  J.D., Fairfax County

• Mr. Manikas provides an excellent and an exceptionally high standard of legal service. While he is attentive to details, he commits to each client to the fullest, to the extent of defining and securing remedies of a subjective and custom nature for each client. He is the standard of service all attorneys should aspire to demonstrate. He is recommended without reservation to any prospective client. Mayu B., Washington, D.C.

• From day one Mr. Manikas handled my case as with skill and sound judgment. Unlike many lawyers, Mr. Manikas knows how to negotiate as well as fight. He knows when it is time to work with his opponent and when it is time to go to trial. Because of this, he was able to get a fantastic result for me and I am truly grateful.

• Kyle Manikas was extremely well informed on current law, and was very proactive in representing me. Initially, the federal prosecutor did not want to work with me. Kyle put in the time, researched the applicable law and came up with a strategy that allowed me to plead to a much reduced charge.

• Thankfully there are attorneys like Kyle Manikas. When you have been falsely accused it comforting to know that there is someone that will watch your back, keep you informed, and tirelessly work on your behalf. Mr. Manikas was able to get involved in my case very early on, ensure that certain evidence was collected, and then use that evidence to convince the police that the complaining witness was lying before I was officially charged. I cannot thank him enough for his assistance in resolving my issues. Without his timely action in making sure that certain evidence was preserved, I cannot imagine what would have happened.

• I wanted to reach and let you know how much I appreciate your referral of Kyle Manikas.  He was responsive, answered all of my questions, and most importantly, was successful in exceeding my expectations for representation.  If you have occasion to refer others with a similar problem to Kyle, I am sure they will be happy with Kyle's services. 

• Mr. Manikas, I want to thank you for all your time, patience and expert legal representation. It was a pleasure working with you and wanted you to know I was extremely happy with the legal representation you provided.  I have had to work with a number of attorneys, and there have only been a few I would consider re-hiring.  I hope I never need your assistance again, but if I did, I'd definitely seek you out.

• Kyle is very special ... he has passion for his field and really cares about his clients.

• Mr. Manikas is very knowledgeable, reliable, and I highly recommend him.

• Everything that was handled by Mr. Manikas was done to my great satisfaction and with excellence.

• Mr. Manikas made me feel very comfortable. I am very happy with the way in which he represented me.

• I made the mistake of hiring another law firm before I went to Kyle Manikas. They charged me a substantial amount in fees, yet made no progress in resolving my case. Fortunately, another attorney referred me to Mr. Manikas. Within the first five minutes of meeting with Mr. Manikas I felt confident about my case for the first time. I also learned more about my case in those first five minutes than I learned about my case the entire time I was with my prior attorney. Mr. Manikas knew exactly what had to be done, he developed a plan, and he executed in a short amount of time.

• I met with a number of lawyers before hiring Mr. Manikas. When I asked questions of other attorneys about how they would defend me, many told me that I would have to plead guilty. Mr. Manikas had a completely different approach. He met with me and discussed several strategies that might be used to defend my case. I felt that he truly cared about how the case worked out for me.

• Mr. Manikas, I wanted to thank you again for the high level of professional service you provided my family in working through this event. I would be happy to recommend your service to anyone in need.
