WHY THE MANELY FIRM WORKS IN TEAMS

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, areas of expertise, and places where their familiarity is a little shakier. Many attorneys in the family law industry run very successful small practices by themselves. Sometimes they’re brilliant lawyers, but their knowledge is still finite and limited to their experiences. And their blindspots can cause significant problems for their clients’ futures. Our commitment to working in teams is one factor that has made The Manely Firm so successful for our clients. We know that no one is an island, and we don’t believe a single attorney can sufficiently meet a client’s needs. We work collectively and collaboratively, with at least two attorneys and two paralegals assigned to each case. The same cannot be said of most other family law firms, no matter their size. Michael Manely estimates that less than 10% of the industry works the way we do. “Usually, it’s as if attorneys are working in a vacuum,” he says. “They are assigned a case and work it by themselves. It’s just a loose arrangement of attorneys calling themselves a firm.” But, Michael points out, “If you send one person to win a baseball or football game, it won’t happen.” He adds, “Imagine trying to pull off an ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ type plan with only one person. No, everyone has a part to play in creating perfection. And even James Bond needs a team around him.” Unsurprisingly, when Michael opened the Firm 30 years ago, he knew he wanted to create a place where people worked together. “A collaborative process makes so much more sense to me,” he says. Working in teams allows The Manely Firm to develop more creative solutions and fill gaps a lone pair of eyes may have missed. We believe this collaboration is the secret behind the very successful outcomes we secure for our clients. So, don’t be alarmed that multiple people are working on your case. It’s all a part of our process and how we go about helping our clients meet their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Additional resources mean more support for you and your family, and we’ve found over the years that two heads really are better than one.
