Jed was outstanding in representing Sonepar/Northeast Electrical Distributors. He had outstanding knowledge of the case at times. He kept us in the loop and was able to achieve outstanding results.

Jed helped guide me through a complicated case in which a bankrupt company was suing my company and others. Since there was a large number of defendants, our legal fees were split among us. The communication was outstanding, and I felt that I was always in a position of understanding of the progress. Jed and his firm seems to be keenly aware that minimizing the expense of this case was very important to us, in that we all had lost significant sums due to the plaintiff's bankruptcy.

I would second the previous reviewer as we were involved in the same case. Jed was professional in all interaction. The Bankruptcy Trustee was being completely unreasonable. Jed and the other attorneys did a tremendous job in what could have been a disastrous outcome for our company. He was more than fair in his billing to us and I would highly recommend him to anyone. A good honest attorney compared to some of the questionable ones around the country.

We were very impressed with Jed Manwaring's services in defending our company in an unjust bankruptcy trustee claim to claw-back payment made for products we did deliver. He explained everything in simple understandable terms at each step leading up to dismissal of the claim. The billing was very fair for the large amount of work. Its hard to find quality attorneys like this anymore.

I,unfortunately,was tangled up in a civil (business)dispute that stretched out for several years. It was somewhat of a David vs. Goliath scenario. (I was David) Mr Manwaring provided a great balance of being realistic with me while having a no nonsense, aggressive approach towards the opposition. I felt like Mr. Manwaring and his firm did the best job possible without unnecessarily running up my bill. I ended up with a very satisfactory outcome.
