I was cited for a Domestic Assault charge. I had never been in trouble with the law before, needless to say I was stressed and a bundle of nerves. Prior to Mr. Mankey I spoke to 3 other attorneys. They not only seemed disinterested in my case (even though it was their specialty), all 3 of them told me the chance of "winning" my case was slim to none and they pushed their fees hard. One quoted me $8,000.00 to start and said I was probably looking at close to $12,000 all said and done.
The moment I talked to Mr. Mankey he brought me down from the ledge of fear. He explained my charge, in depth explained

Mr. Mankey is one of the best attorneys in the twin cities. He went above and beyond to answer all of my questions/doubts, even on nights and weekends. Ms. Kempin and Mr. Mankey make a great team, they complement each other very well. They always treated me with the utmost respect, even at times where I was being constantly demanding, they made me feel like family. They helped me tremendously during one of the toughest times in my life. I highly recommend Mankey Law if you're ever in need of legal representation, they save lives.

First in for most I want to thank Mathew Mankey & his Paralegal Heidi Kempin. They saved my husband life!! My husband was facing 30+ years, with the hard work, dedication to his job, spending time to get to know us as a family, to know exactly what was going on. Mathew & Heidi went over & beyond the expectations we had. They treated us as family. They answered every phone call/text message/email we sent no matter what time of day or night it was! I can’t thank them enough!!! We will forever hold a special place in our hearts for them. Always referred them to everyone! My husband ended up with

Mr. Mankey is the best drug lawyer ever. He got the charge reduced to a public nuisance. He did what he said he would do and always gave it to me straight. This started in 2018 and went almost to 2020. He never lost his drive from day 1 until the end. If he wasn’t available, his paralegal Heidi always returned my calls when I had questions. You can’t go wrong with Defense Attorney Mankey!

Mr. Mankey, treated me like his own. He stood by me when I was lost, confused, depressed and most importantly needed help with my case. He was more then a lawyer, he was someone that cared about me and my family. If you need a lawyer that cares and acts on your behalf, please don't hesitate to contact Mr.mankey. He is a wonderful human being. I can honestly say that, I love him for all of his supports throughout my biggest obstacles in this life.

Mr. Mankey is an outstanding lawyer as well as an amazing individual. I could not be more thankful for everything he did for me. I was being charged with disorderly conduct while my life was being threatened. I have a permit to carry a firearm and only do so concealed. The reason i carry is because I'm disabled. I was being threatened over a parking space of all things. I simply parked my vehicle and explained to them i have a permit to carry (never reached for or brandished my firearm). Next thing i know the police had me face down in a parking lot because they said i had pointed a gun at them

I needed help but I also needed a good and affordable lawyer so I looked around and I found Mankey Law Office. I went to see Mankey Law Office and they made me feel that they're someone I could trust and be comfortable with. They changed my court date so they can work better on my case because my court date was coming up way to soon and they couldn't work to make my case better. when my court date came, I didn't even see the judge because Matthew got there before me and dismissed my case. I know I made the best choice because he made me feel safe and that he is very trustworthy.
