McManus & Associates, a trusts and estates law firm, was formed in 1991 by John O. McManus to provide the high quality experience of the largest firms coupled with the intimacy and efficiency of a specialized boutique firm. Over 20 years later, McManus & Associates continues to earn its reputation for integrity, intellectual ability, efficiency, and enduring relationships.
Integrity:
Soon after its formation, McManus & Associates was awarded the legal industry’s highest rating “AV” for its legal ability and integrity within the profession. After 10 years of receiving its highest annual rating, Martindale Hubble awarded McManus & Associates membership into the National Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, reserved only for those attorneys that have consistently achieved the highest rating for capability and integrity.
Intellectual Ability:
Top-tier publications like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Forbes regularly feature John McManus’s insights, strategies, and expertise in estate planning. The firm was awarded by AVENUE magazine the title “Legal Elite” for its estate planning and wealth transfer practice in the New York metropolitan area.
