Do you offer flexible payment plans?

Yes. The firm offers upfront retainers with monthly installment options for the balance, rather than requiring thousands upfront as other firms do.

Can I access my case files online?

Yes. Client files are available through an app and digital folders, with charges visible at any time. No hidden fees are listed.

Will the managing attorney always represent me in court?

No. The firm uses associates and team members for some proceedings; one client's case involved an associate handling court submissions, not the managing attorney.

What recent reviews say

Most clients praise Adam Sudbury's knowledge and responsiveness, with staff going beyond expectations in family law and real estate matters. Two older complaints cite slow progress, poor communication, and paperwork errors; most recent reviews consistently credit the firm with care, honesty, and flexible pricing that other firms do not offer.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Manzo & Associates, P.A.

4.3(48)

Manzo & Associates delivers strong results for some clients: closings move quickly, staff like Nancy and J.D. are responsive and knowledgeable, and real estate deals close efficiently. Others face poor communication, missed callbacks over weeks, closing delays without explanation, and mistakes in tax prorations that leave clients unprotected. The firm appears to operate unevenly depending on which staff member handles your case and whether your matter is routine.
