Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
I contacted Maney Gordon Zeller for immigration services. Immediately as I walked through the door, I felt right at home. From the receptionist all the way to the top bosses whom I met the first day, everyone at this firm was very knowledgeable. All my questions were answered. They were very professional, took time to listen, and were very timely in each step. They follow up and keep you informed on the status of your situation. They know the law and in my opinion are the best. I will use them again, and recommend them to anyone. It's not all about the money, like I have seen other firms do. The people here have the passion for what they do. They care about their clients.

Immigration Law
I was so lucky to get the personal attention of Mr. Richard Maney lawyer during my case and not the help of a paralegal. In this regard, I would like to recommend Mr. Maney services as one of the best lawyers in the Tampa Bay metro area. He's nice, educated, a professional, plus he's friendly and positive. If I would need another immigration lawyer, I most likely hired him again.
