Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I have a case pending against the City of Los Angeles and Victor was very knowledgeable and helped me with advancing my case. Sam W.
I called at 4:45pm and expected to get a voicemail. He answered the phone! How much more do you need to know? I was given an education on what I needed to do to help other State Of California employees who have been denied a promotion, probation and other matters concerning the state employment and how to get results! He spent over 45 minutes educating me and who does that for no fee?! He is caring and his knowledge is vast. I am now armed with information I never knew was available. I have worked for the state for over 20 years and now am confident of what steps I need to take to encourage change. Thank you Mr. Manrique!
I called Victor Manrique Law Offices because I was fed up with my manager bullying/harassing me. After briefly explaining my situation I was given some pointers to help me file a grievance and better utilize my union representation. He spoke knowledgably about unions and MOU's. I appreciate his honest assessment and opinion. Finally, he offered me to call him back if I had additional questions.
I was referred to Victor by a colleague from work. He was compassionate but realistic, determined to win my case but honest at the same time. He was realistic and always told me the truth whether it be positive or negative. He was professional and never lost his cool, even when the opposing counsel was ... not so professional. He won my case, and I gained a friend. I referred him to colleagues and friends.
Victor was very determined in ensuring we were prepared for the appeal with Los Angeles County. He guided me on how to organize my evidence and facilitated the grievance process. Without his knowledge of the grievance process and ability to pinpoint the weaknesses presented by Human Resources, I doubt I would have won my appeal.
Speaking to this attorney was amazing because he was very easy to talk to, and didn"t cut me off when I was talking. He spoke to me for about an hour, and gave me some advice that could help me with my issue. He was very knowledgeable regarding labor unions and employment law. I know who to call now, and refer my family and friends too, if we need a lawyer. Thank you very much.
Victor was immediately responsive to my employee claim with LA County. He presented a wide range of possible actions I could take to remedy my situation. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that works in government, especially within Los Angeles County.
Attorney Manrique was very attentive to my concerns regarding my discharge case with the County of Los Angeles. He explained the process and details of the possible outcomes. He gave good examples of prior cases where he had successfully won other clients cases. I wish he was there with me during my skelly meeting. I hope to retain his services soon and that I can get back to work again. I truly appreciate his free consultation and the confidence he gave me to hopefully move forward.
I spoke w/ Mr. Manrique to get advise on a work related incident. He took the time to explain the different laws and departmental policies for LA County. He was extremely knowledgeable and very well spoken. He didn't seem rushed to get off the phone and made sure I understood what my options would be before ending the consult. He put my mind at ease & would hire in a heartbeat if needing to move forward.
Victor is the best attorney in town. He won my case and my outcome was better than I could ever imagined!
