As a longtime criminal defense lawyer who has worked with Manny Arora on a number of cases, I rank him at the top of our profession in terms of skill, dedication to clients, and reputation. He’s a keen strategist who does the work necessary to find the weaknesses of the prosecution’s case. He’s commanding at trial, and creative and aggressive in cases where a non-trial outcome is best for the client. Prosecutors and judges know his reputation for effectiveness, and they respect his work in jurisdictions all over the country. Time and again I have seen his clients well informed about their cases, served with loyalty and energy, and satisfied with the results Manny delivers.
