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 36 months, that was a blessing. Thank God Mathew was his lawyer, not a lot of lawyers actually take the time to get to know you, & fight for what is right! When & if you use him. It?s worth every penny! Just know you have a stand up guy here! Thank you again Mathew & Heidi!

Mathew Mankey is one of a kind. He is tough. He knows exactly how to get the job done. Being extremely tough is one thing but this attorney actually cares about his clients. He went way above and beyond for me and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you Mr. Mankey

I traveled to California with two friends. Unbeknownst to me, one of my friends purchased over 100 pounds of marijuana gummies and wax. We were stopped in southern Minnesota by a State Trooper. The car was searched, and we were all charged with First Degree Controlled Substance Crimes. I was looking at 56 to 78 months in prison and I did not even know there were drugs in the car. I hired Mr. Mankey. He challenged the legality of the stop of the car and the scope and expansion of the search. He wrote a extremely persuasive memorandum and cross examined the Trooper for almost three hours. By the time Mr. Mankey was through with him, he had developed a facial tick and was so humiliated that he forgot his gun in the courtroom! The prosecuting attorney dismissed the case against me. Mr. Mankey beat him up on the stand so badly, he did not even wait for the judge to rule on the suppression of evidence, he just dismissed the case. The prosecutor even complimented Mr. Mankey on his cross examination! I now still have a clean record and I owe it all to Mr. Mankey and the wonderful job he did exposing the illegality of the Trooper?s actions. I highly recommend him. He only handles serious felony cases and he takes them seriously. He kept me informed about my case and always promptly returned my phone calls ? he went above and beyond; he was worth every penny I spent. Thank you, Matthew & Heidi, for EVERYTHING!

I was charged with several crimes resulting from an altercation with my ex-boyfriend. Unfortunately the charges triggered a probation violation as well. Mr. Mankey walked me through the process of getting a restraining order against him without charging me for that part of the representation because he knew hiring him on the new charge and probation violation would be tough on me. No, he isn?t inexpensive but we got superb results. I would highly recommend him. Perhaps most important is that he really cared about me. He would call or text just to see how I was doing. He supported my sobriety and continues to stay in contact with me even though my cases are resolved. He knew everyone in the courthouse, the judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, clerks and even the bailiffs. He is very knowledgeable about the law and can cite cases and statutes off the top of his head. I will be forever grateful that I retained Mr. Mankey. He was the right man for the job.

Mankey is the best drug lawyer ever. I was charged with a misdemeanor. Mr. Mankey got the charge reduced to a public nuisance. The original charge could have stopped me from having a job! I owe him. He did what he said he would do and always gave it to me straight. If he wasn?t available, his paralegal Heidi always returned my calls when I had questions. You can?t go wrong with Defense Attorney Matthew Mankey!

Mr. Mankey was an amazing criminal defense attorney. He took the time to explain the charges and possible outcomes. He negotiated a stay of adjudication on my charges and I only had to pay prosecution costs. After my year of unsupervised release, we got the charge expunged. He saved me the embarrassment of ever having to put that I was charged with a crime on a job application. He answered all my calls when I was scared because I thought my life was over. I am so glad I found the best defense attorney around. I hope I never need him again but I know he will be there for me if I do. Thank you Mr. Mankey!

Mr. Mankey is the best criminal defense attorney. He was very upfront with me about my case. He didn't have to put other attorneys down to make him look better. He is the best criminal lawyer. He even helped me when social services got involved. He didn't take any pushback from the prosecutor. He knew that if I was convicted, it would ruin my life. Mr. Mankey was not afraid to dig in his heels, do the research, and go to trial. He was prepare to go all the way. He filed a motion to dismiss the charges and it was good and long. My case was dismissed and I kept my job, house, and reputation. We are now working on an expungement. Thank you Mr. Mankey.

I was facing some very serious federal charges. I thought I would never see the light of day again as a free man. Thanks to Matthew I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, with less than a year to serve. I have the opportunity to get my life back. Matthew and Heidi went out of their way to help me outside of just the legal aspects of the case. I'm truly grateful for their help.

TOP OF THE ROCK!! Look no further you just found the best attorney / representation your money can buy............ Consider yourself fortunate if he takes your case. He leaves nothing to chance and his experienced, professional, staff is in it to win it from start to finish. He is extremely well respected and admired by both other attorneys and judges throughout the state; a true credit to the law profession.

Mr. Mankey and his paralegal Heidi were amazing to work with. They both were very responsive in communications and made sure that I had resources available to me to succeed. Before I met them, I was anxious, nervous, and afraid of the legal process. But both of them went above and beyond to make me comfortable and confident. I would reccommend Mankey Law to anyone that wants a fantastic team.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
