Manibog Law, PC

I was in a car accident that totaled my car along with two other cars. We were worried that since so many cars were involved we wouldn’t get from the accident as someone else who got a lawyer. Me and my wife were referred to Darren and we couldn’t have been happier with the results.

I had a car accident and looked up Unilocal for an attorney. From here I found Attorney Manibog. My experience with attorney Manibog was excellent. Just a tip, be very patient he knows what he is doing. I found them very caring about my neck and back pain. They took care of all the medical bills that accrued from months of chiro. Couple of weeks later my pain came back and they had no issues with me going back for treatment. I finally feel better and glad i choose Mr. Manibog for helping me through this process. Sometimes getting ahold of the attorney is difficult but I understood he was busy. And he always got back within two days so don’t worry. Overall, great experience and definitely recommend him. Good luck and thanks.

I’ve never had the need to contact a lawyer. So I have no existing laywer to call, here I am on Unilocal looking for one. I called and talked to Magdeline. Even though the type of case i have isn’t handle by them. She still gave me a lead to get the proper help. I really appreciated that.

I called the Manibog law firm last week looking for a lawyer who had experience with enforcing insurance coverage. I ended up speaking directly to Darren Manibog. Although he could not help me with my case because it is an area of law he does not specialize in directly, he was really, really helpful. He took about 20 minutes to walk through the facts, give me his thoughts, and help me focus mine. That is much more than I would have expected.
I am actually a lawyer myself, and would have no qualms about hiring him. I would recommend that someone with a legitimate personal injury claim check in with these guys and see where they stand.

My husband and I had an accident last February and got our case settled early part of August. We cannot believe how fast things happened. Thank you to the very kind hearted Lawyer, Darren Manibog. As if, we were being helped by a family member. Atty. Darren and his staff were so accommodating, they always keep us informed of what is happening and was professional by nature.
In addition, words had already been spread out of their excellent service. We highly recommend their service. Whatever problem you have, he is most willing to give a helping hand.
May the Good Lord Blessed these people and we wish you all the best!
Thank you very much for everything. Promise to visit see you soon…

First off… I’ve never had a lawyer before or even attempted to hire a lawyer for any of my car accidents. Secondly, I’m a patient guy… but just don’t be rude or try to screw me over. So, when me and my girlfriend got rear ended in November 2013 heading to an engagement shoot that I was videographing I thought we would just handle it like any other accident I’ve been in… have the insurance company handle it. After the accident we couldn’t make it to the shoot so we headed home because the car was still drive able, however, the bumper was rubbing against the tire and the car felt «off». I guessed it was probably the frame. As soon as we got home I called my insurance company and told them everything.
After about a week or more I called my insurance company back to see if everything was ok because I was having my girlfriend take me to work… and I had weird work hours and was in need of a rental. My insurance company said the other party called to report a accident. So, I was confused and called the other parties insurance. They also said nobody called to report an accident by that name. That’s when I started to get annoyed… and I’m a pretty easy going and patient guy. I gave them a week or more to call and they didn’t even report it.
About 2 – 3 weeks later I got a call from their insurance company saying that their client finally reported a accident. I was still annoyed, however, a little relieved. I spoke to them regarding a pain in my neck and they reposted back with,” do you have health insurance?” I said,” yes I have insurance through work.” They responded with,” how this works is you have to meet your out of pocket costs them we will take care of the bills.” I was really really really annoyed by then. I’m supposed to pay $ 3500 out of pocket then you will take care of my bills? I wasn’t the one that caused the accident. I wasn’t the one that rear ended someone. They also stated that since I was traveling to videograph a wedding engagements that they would not pay that because that’s not a real job but my side job… because I told them I work a full time job at a hotel. That’s when I think all I saw was red… I was so annoyed. I didn’t know what to do. But I decided to wait patiently and be understanding.
That’s when I lost it. I decided to look up lawyers after asking numerous friends and family on what I should do. I didn’t know where or who to call so I just Unilocaled personal injury law and I ended up with Manibog Law but I’m glad I did. I read through many reviews… I researched while I was at work, while I was on break, and when I was home and decided that Darren Manibog would be it. So I called and I was super nervous because I never had a lawyer, however, the girl on the other end was super nice and I explained my situation and she said she has to ask Darren if that was a case they could take on. She called back and said yes the insurance company shouldn’t e doing that. So I went to their offices in Pasadena since my gf worked down the street and we talked… they didn’t seem shady or like «typical» lawyers… they cared. They were so friendly… and I met Lorena! Lorena was the one I would always be in contact with throughout the whole process and Darren too. But Lorena because I was always emailing her lol and calling her through the process.
During that week they send their appraiser to look at my car. He gave me a debt it card of $ 1200 and said that’s about it and said there wasn’t much damage. He said I could take it to their shop or a shop of my own choosing so I picked a shop that had great reviews. The shop estimated it at $ 3100. So they said they’ll send the estimate to the insurance company. They didn’t respond for 2 weeks… so my car sat in the shop for 2 weeks because they appraiser was on vacation, however, the insurance company didn’t tell me that til he got back. My car ended up being $ 3600 with their insurance company paying for that.
Soooooooo, long story so far and I’ll keep this one short. Darren Manibog and Lorena were so great. It’s been about a year and half since the accident… in that time dealing with Manibog Law we ended up finding a tumor in my spine and if I never got in a accident and handled everything the old fashioned way with out a lawyer I would have never found a tumor in my spinal cord. It took awhile because Darren and his team wanted to make sure I was ok. I’m very glad I went with them. When I met with them last week it was just a relief to get this all finished… I couldn’t have done it without them seriously. Thank you especially to Lorena for always emailing back and keeping me updated. And thank you Darren for being a great lawyer… and awesome person.

Darren is the best lawyer in personal injury who you could find. I have doubt about my current case by other lawyer and he gave me all the honest advises and seek for my best terms. Although he can’t take my case but I am happy that I got to speak to the lawyer directly and get legal advise from him. It is so valuable and I will definitely have him or refer him to anyone who need a lawyer for their car accident.
Thank you so much Darren!!!

Darren has a spotless professional record for a good reason: He responded to me right away and took about 20 minutes of his time to talk to me about my case and provide me with legal advice that other attorneys are reluctant to give you for free. Darren even recommended that I don’t hire him but go an alternate route. The Unilocal reviews are real, he is a very good person and I look forward to working with him in the future.

Darren is the real deal!
I recently got notice of a court case requiring my presence. I was afraid to ask for any sort of help because there are no lawyers allowed for small claims cases. I then thought that there is no hurt in trying; so I reached out to Darren. He was very prompt, informative and advised me on what to do from beginning to end. Not only did he relieve my anxiety about the issue but he lifted the burden off my shoulders. I feel a lot more confident and prepared to face what is to come. Darren was very nice to take time out of his busy schedule to help me.

Back in April 2014 my mother was in an accident, thank god she survived and seems to be doing a lot better now. At the time I was unsure on how to move forward with medical treatment and insurance paperwork. I decided to contact a few attorneys to get a sense of the process involved with getting what my mother deserves, nothing less.
After reviewing his background and speaking with him (Attorney Darren Manibog), I felt he was well qualified to represent my mother. We had an advantage, we were in no direct need of quick money, so that came into play when Darren began his negotiation process. Today, she received her settlement check. We feel the case was handled well.
Note:
Give him the time to go through his process and you’ll increase the probability of receiving a bigger CHECK!!! =)…
Oh yeah, he is super cool and staff members are very nice!!!

Manibog Law is the place to go for any legal aid needed!
I had known Darren for quite some time through professional networking before I asked for his assistance on a matter pertaining to an early termination of a lease my business was in. Actually, he offered to look into it for me after a quick question I asked. What seemed to be an easy in-​n-​out situation at first took over a year to finally settle due to the opposing legal staff’s difficult nature. Darren and his team were relentless in reaching the correct settlement terms and saving me (and my family) from all personal liabilities that were potentially tied into being the owner of a small business. If I had not worked with Darren and his team, I would have been looking at a ruling against me for over $ 80,000. The opposing legal staff dragged this out for a while in an effort to both exhaust me and the team at Manibog Law, but the team NEVER GAVE IN.
He was able to negotiate a term for settlement that saved me from that ridiculous number listed above, including a monthly payment system that was affordable for me and a full waiver of liability to the original case against my business.
Darren and his team and not just good. THEY ARE THE BEST.
Although I hope to avoid the need for legal aid any time in the future, I know that if the need ever arises again, Manibog Law will be the team I go to.
I have already recommended him to many friends under the «Just in Case» category.
5 Stars… If I could give 10 or 110 stars… I would!
Bravo Team. Bravo.

I had a traffic accident and contact Manibog Lawfirm for legal advice since my case is a bit tricky. Darren gave me a call within 15mins! He took his time to answer all the questions I had ON A SATURDAY MORNING! I felt very comfortable speaking with him and so glad that I reached out to Manibog Lawfirm. Darren is very patient and informative. I highly recommend him to anyone searching for legal advice and help.
Thank You so much Darren!

I do want to say thank you to the receptionist, although they won’t able to help my case, but she is really patient and so knowledgeable about her work, I felt more helpful and comfort, will consider them as my attorney for the future for sure, thank you

After my accident, I desperately needed the help of a lawyer. Mr. Manibog and the team were so helpful and supportive. Phone calls were answered, and e-​mails were responded to promptly, but most importantly I can tell that he genuinely cares about his clients. On our first meeting I was in tears due to the anxiety and stress that I was going through, especially because I had recently moved to Los Angeles and did not have a lot of support. After the meeting, I was confident that I had gone to the right place and I was not wrong. Thank you so much for all of the help!!!

For the record this is my first review I’ve ever written and I actually signed up just so I can write this review for Darren Manibog as a token of my appreciation and thank you for his help.
I had an incident that involved my car being hit and wrecked while parked that occurred 01/​12/​2015. I got all info of the other person involved and started my claim process. I had a terrible ordeal with my own insurance company which to sum up my experience as a total nightmare, «rude customer service, no follow ups or call backs regarding claim, no towing services and no car rental» and mind you this is my own insurance. Which in turn gave me no choice but to seek legal help. I was referred by a friend to one lawyer and that lawyer flaked on our agreed appointment to discuss my current problem. Good thing I was in the vicinity of MANIBOG LAW PC, which I randomly just saw through GOOGLE, I walked in and staff was friendly and extremely helpful. I discussed my current issue with the paralegals and then after spoke with Darren Manibog himself regarding my dilemma. He gave me his honest opinion and guided me on how to deal with issues with my insurance claim which helped me greatly. Darren could’ve easily charged me an easy $ 3k alone just for leading me in the right direction but, instead out of his own kindness and his passion to help others. He didn’t charge me a «single penny’ he even gave me free information and paperwork to help me in my current situation and it did just that. I must say there aren’t many honest & truly passionate lawyers who are like him, I’m forever thankful to MANIBOG LAW PC. I would HIGHLY suggest anyone who seeks an honest lawyer with tremendous knowledge and experience to go to MANIBOG LAW PC. I’m definitely keeping MANIBOG LAW PC should I need a lawyer in the future. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Manibog Law is an excellent PI firm and I can’t recommend them enough.
I had a hit and run accident with injuries and struggled to find a lawyer to represent my case. My own insurance company was playing aggressive with me and pretty much denying my claim and accusing me of lying. My impression was that my case didn’t have enough money involved for many firms to take seriously.
I felt close to giving up, figuring that I’d have to take on the insurance company myself and end up with nothing. Luckily, I called Darren Manibog who saw me that day and took on my case.
Darren was a consummate professional and his staff took my case seriously and treated me with respect. They represented me at a Examination Under Oath with my insurance company that would have been a nightmare without an attorney. Darren and Hilary later settled my case for a very fair amount that I felt good about as an accident victim. I felt I was in good hands throughout the whole process.
Really, they are a great, solid firm. If you every find yourself in an accident whether involved with your own insurance company or another party, Manibog Law is an outright excellent choice.
Thanks again Darren and Hilary, you all were great!!!

I had contacted Manibog Law to inquire about a legal issue. I really felt comfortable speaking with Darren Manibog. He was very friendly and very informative.
I was able to ask questions without feeling intimidated. I could sense his integrity.
His staff was also very helpful. All in all, great attorney, great outcome.
I have already recommended several friends to Darren for legal counsel.

I want to start off by saying that in my past experience with lawyers were extremely horrible. They would take my case and stop taking my calls or even go on vacation without notice.
So I decided to go on Unilocal and found Darren with over 50 great reviews. I gave his team a call and they were very helpful and extremely caring about our well being. My case was pretty complex due to all the insurance companies that were involved. It took over a year to be resolved but I was surprised with the outcome. It had exceed my expectation and earned my trust in lawyers.
Darren will be in my phone book for any legal advice.

We had minor fender bender on New Years Eve and I was worried about my wife and 7 month old son’s health because of the holiday and work we didn’t think about it much since it was such a small damage. My wife had small pain so naturally I thought my son may have been injured, but he’s smiling and giggling as usual so didn’t think much about it. Being a new father, when playing with my son, I was worry about his health even though he’s playing cheerfully.
Decided to look for legal advice one evening. It was late at night and I’m searching and summited my situation through the web for a reply through Manibog’s site. Being a father himself, I was able to get great advice from a genuine person that cares. I was assured that my son is actually more resilient than an adult. Caring seems to be such a rarity nowadays. I’m thankful to have spoken to Manibog and will keep him in mind for the future. Getting sane and sound advice is rare and it didn’t hurt to ask so now I have better piece of mind for my family. Thank you, thank you!

When seeking a lawyer, the only name that comes from my entire family when asked is Manibog. Being a former client of Monty Manibog, I knew my recent case was definitely going to be in good hands with Darren Manibog. Seeking a lawyer can definitely feel intimidating especially when it’s your first time being involved in an accident. Most people just let the insurances handle it and it’s a done deal; but they don’t realize there’s more to an accident than a wrecked car, etc. One’s health and well being are the most important and it requires immediate attention. Many walk around without health insurance and just live with the injuries posed on them without treatment because they don’t have coverage and can’t afford to pay for outrageous medical bills… Let alone a lawyer. This is where Darren and his colleagues come into play and do what they do best!
Darren made sure we were constantly well aware of the progress of our case and gave us updates when possible. Depending on the client, he can update you minute to minute details or just do his work and give you periodic updates that he feels necessary to run by you first prior to proceeding. Nothing beats having an Atty on speed dial!
We just wrapped up our case & Darren clearly explained everything in a way we would be able to understand the itemization of the settlement and how they came to the offer. Once again, Manibog has held up their credibility! If you need help in a case, make Darren your first call before doing anything else & he will get the ball rolling immediately and without hesitation.
Thank you Atty. Darren Manibog for your persistence, knowledge, professionalism, and genuine kindness during this journey. We couldn’t have moved forward properly without your assistance! Thank you!
