After being in an accident in 2011 and being injured I didn't know what to do, so I called a friend and she referred me to Darren Manibog law firm. Darren took care of everything. I didn't need to deal with the insurance companies and to top it off the other driver was uninsured. If you need an attorney call Manibog Law. Thank you Darren you really care about people. read more

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!!! read more

I was recently involved in my first major car accident with my girlfriend, and I was in complete disrepair. I had no clue on what is the proper way of dealing with such a disaster. My car was completely totaled, and we had neck and back pains as a direct result of the accident. I have reached out to multiple personal injury attorney's that specialized in automobile accidents and Darren returned my call within an hour (might I add on a weekend as well). He talked me through the process, and arranged to meet with me and my girlfriend on the following Monday. I've never even received a return call from any of the other attorneys I've contacted. Darren and his staff was very informative and consoling throughout the whole process, and have removed a huge burden of dealing with medical bills and insurance involving my vehicle. They have taken care of any clerical hassle, and even assisted with finding and arranging Chiropractic visits near our home. Although the whole process was lengthy, from the start of our case to the closing. Darren and his staff was always concerned about our well being and have been their with us through all of our milestones. I was extremely touched and surprised when I received a congratulation card when I graduated from school! Darren was always responsive throughout the process and gave out his personal cell phone number to directly contact him if there was ever any questions or concerns. I'm very glad that I've had a chance for Darren Manibog and his firm to represent our case! read more

Talk about a hit and run! Darren and his associates are the laziest incompetent lawyers I've ever met. Linda Eschegara didn't even know our court dates! And when i confronted Darren he just wanted to argue. Not that this accident was stressful enough but if it wasn't for the strength of my case these guys would have lost it all. Not to mention Darren stuck me with a 17k medical bill. This guy is as fake as his contacts on his profile. 2 thumbs down read more

October 2012 I was on my way home from a dinner with some friends. I was stopped at a red light, wanting to make a left turn onto the 10 freeway. When the green arrow appeared, I started to accelerate and a car hit me head-on. My car was completely totaled; the driver did not have a license, was intoxicated, underage, and was not a US citizen. Thankfully the car did not belong to him, it belonged to his uncle and the uncle had car insurance. I walked away from the accident with back / neck strain and a small cut / bruise on my chest from the seat belt; however my life was now severely inconvenienced with dealing with the loss of my car, police reports, insurance reports, rental car expenses, weeks of chiropractor visits, etc. I felt completely helpless and feared that the irresponsible driver would go unpunished. So I reached out for help. Darren Manibog was referred to me by my aunt who is a Partner at LeClairRyan in LA. My case lasted exactly one year from the accident. When Darren and I first met, he was very professional, attentive, detailed in answering all my questions and concerns and made me feel very comfortable. I knew I could depend on him and I knew that he would represent me for my benefit. One thing that I can say about Darren is that he actually really cares about all his clients and their well being. There was no gray area with Darren. He knew the answers to every question and I felt confident leaving everything up to him. I appreciate everything he has done for my case. I am very happy with the outcome of my settlement and I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

A minor car accident can be a major pain in the butt. ... a major car accident can a whole 'nother pain. More specifically... a neck, shoulder, back pain... After a woman rear ended and totaled my barely a year old Lexus, it was just that and more. The woman had barely enough insurance to drive her insurance, so her insurance wouldn't have covered her car let alone my car and injuries. I knew I didn't want to just rely on the insurance companies to hash out the details because it'd clearly a complete mess. I just wanted to focus on getting better, but I was so stressed out with having to sort out a messy insurance tangle, arrange for doc's visits and purchase a new car all while managing to not miss a lot of work. A lawyer friend recommended that I speak with Darren. Afterwards... things were at peace. Thank goodness! Darren carefully listened and patiently explained how to proceed, which to focus primarily on what's important- getting my health back while his office handled the insurance stuff. Darren and his staff were so kind, patient (I called often for updates :P), and always on top of everything. They took care of everything with care & wonderful consideration. I was able to retain a peace of mind, which is invaluable! I hope I never get into another accident like that... but if I do, I know I can trust Manibog Law to have my back. read more

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. read more

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!

Darren is very patient and informative. I highly recommend him to anyone searching for legal advice and help. Thank You so much Darren! read more

After my accident, I was completely confused and didn't know how to deal with the whole situation. I needed guidance on what I should do. My pain was unbearable. I am so thankful I contacted Darren's office. From my initial phone call I knew I was in good hands. Darren along with his staff are very caring and always there for you. He even gave me his cell phone number!!!! Darren explained the entire process to me in a very professional and knowledgeable way. I was very impressed. He truly cares and listened to my whole ordeal. He settled my case way above my expectations and for that I am eternally grateful to him. I will never forget how he helped me and I want to thank him and his wonderful Paralegals again and again for helping me get through this and making my life great again. I will refer all my family and friends to his law firm. Simply the BEST!!! read more

Darren Manibog and this firm are a top notch and went the extra mile to get my settlement! They set me up with excellent doctors and went above and beyond my expectations. I've had some bad experiences with attorneys who always seemed to take the easiest way out to get paid and didn't give seem to care about my well being. If I wasn't able to speak to Darren immediately he would always return my call promptly and give good sound advice. Also, his paralegal Gilda made sure all my personal needs were taken care of and so did Jennie. Jennie did an awesome job negotiating and getting my medical bills reduced. My best experience ever dealing with with any law firm!!! Will no doubt be referring my family and friends if they need a honest and competent law firm... Thanks! Francis D Sao read more

2012 Pasadena Magazine lawyer of the year, and 2011 Super Lawyer, and also got me a good settlement for getting rear ended. Manibog Law always treated me great. From the time I signed the retainer, to the time they gave me my settlement check. They always returned my call in a timely fashion, and kept me informed on how my case was going. When the defendant's insurance company wanted to short change me, Manibog filed a law suit on my behalf. That made the insurance company do an about face, and offer a nice settlement to keep the case out of court (just as Manibog Law predicted). I would recommend you retain his service for your personal injury. read more

After my accident, which was complicated because it involved law enforcement as one of the parties at fault, the first thing I realized upon entering the offices of Darren Manibog was the sensitivity of each employee, beginning with the phone call. My state of anxiety was immediately mollified. I was even more presently surprised when I came into the office and one of the first people to greet me was Darren himself. He sat me down, offered me something to drink, looked me in the eye and listened to my story. From that moment on, I never felt alone as I sought justice. Darren figuratively, if not literally, led me by the hand through the process. Him and his associates fought for two years and garnered me a settlement that left me slack-Jawed and wide-eyed. Darren will fight for you the way he fought for me. read more

I was in a bad accident & was rear ended on the freeway. A good friend of mine referred me to Darren Manibog & said that he was a really good attorney. Not only is Darren a really good attorney but also very friendly and actually cares about your well being. Darren along with his staff were always available, patient, and willing to assist you with whatever questions you may have. Darren made it easy for me throughout the entire process. He's very knowledgeable and patient with you. I now know that I can always count on the Manibog & Manibog law firm whenever I have legal issues. read more

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. read more

It's so nerve-wracking after an accident but a great attorney can really put you at ease. Love the personable staff/team! If you need someone that will fight for you, I highly recommend this firm :) read more

A good friend of mine referred me to Manibog Law and I could not have been happier! I was involved in a car accident and was beyond stressed but after I spoke to Darren I felt like I was in great hands.

The office staff were friendly and helpful. They were very responsive when an email was sent. Highly recommend Manibog Law firm to anyone that was involved in an accident. read more

I was really fortunate to have Darren on my team for an auto accident. When first looking for a lawyer to represent me, I was unsure and apprehensive. I did not know the first step in choosing one; and after hearing horror stories of friends' experiences with other lawyers, I felt overwhelmed and defeated. That all changed when I received a recommendation from a trusted friend to see Darren. He not only won me victory in my case, he and his staff put my mind at ease during the whole process. Communication was always prompt, courteous, and continuous. Darren would always keep me up-to-date on the case status and if I had a question, I received a response the same day. Altogether, Darren and Manibog Law truly set the benchmark for law firms -- they offer a level of service that is hard to find nowadays. For this, I will always be grateful, thanks Darren! read more

I have referred 3 personal friend there and they all told me Manibog doesn't care about their case at all and the secretary who took their info never call back and seems to be thinking the case is too small. They never get to talk to Darren and I guess now the business has grown to the point that they are selective in clients now read more

I am very please with the services. Staff are super nice and professional. I definitely will recommend them to friends and family if they should need a good attorney. read more

I was in a minor car accident and hurt my back. Not knowing anything I called Darren and asked for advice. He was extremely honest, helpful and generous. I wish every lawyer or professional is as nice as he is. I highly recommend that anyone to call him if you have any questions at all. read more

I was referred to Darren's firm through my friends when I got in my accident in January. They told me that its better to have an attorney handling the case, as insurance companies usually try to quickly settle claims and aren't as personal in dealing with customers. Based on their experience, Darren did a wonderful job on their cases. I decided to give it a shot and I was thoroughly surprised at how personal the experience was. Whenever I had a question, either Darren or his helpful staff members would provide a timely answer. The staff was always courteous and eager to help resolve any issues I had. They addressed any questions I had and guided me through the claims process so that I would be able to understand the terminology used. When the case was resolved I ended up with a much better settlement then expected and better yet, no doctors bills! Overall the experience was great and I would definitely recommend Darren's firm to my friends. Darren is very helpful and will explain the whole claims process to you, and will explain all the tricks insurance companies use to get a quick settlement. read more

My fiancé contacted Manibog Law for a consultation and representation in an auto accident. First call, the receptionist took down some information and contact name/number and indicated someone would get back with us shortly. Two days later, we call back, as to speak to someone and another message taken, ultimately a week later, and two calls with messages - no response. Not a great way to get or retain business. We were encouraged with the reviews and that is the reason we reached out, clearly these positive reviews are "if" they decide to take your call, or call you back. Definitely disappointed - One star for the receptionist answering the phone... read more

Darren is very helpful and delightful. Throughout entire process of my accident he continuously checked up on us and made sure our pains and aches were the first thing he dealt with. And then after getting everything settled with, he continuously attacked the insurance companies to make sure we were compensated for our injuries and time. We all know how stingy insurance companies can be so before talking to one, I highly suggest you visit Manibog Law. read more

Last year my family and I were in a scary accident on the 5 freeway. A big truck cut into our lane and knocked us into the car next to us. I was so worried and then I got neck and back pain the next day. We all did. I tried talking to the insurance but they were not helpful. So we found Manibog Law and am so glad we did. They took our case. We didn't have to talk to the insurance anymore which was a big relief. They helped us find doctors and we all got better with therapy. All the staff at Manibog were caring and smart. They did a great job for us. Thank you Darren, Lorena and the rest at Manibog. read more

I had heard of Manibog Law before and decided to inquire about a legal issue of my own. Darren and his staff were incredibly helpful and organized. He really took the time to understand and determine the best forward course of action for my case. For my first time dealing with an attorney, it was a lot less stressful than I imagined. Darren's professionalism and unwavering integrity and dependability in his work is what makes him the best person to go to for legal advice. Have already referred several friends/family his way! read more

Mr. Manibog is a competent attorney. I have referred my brother and girl friend to his firm because I know that in the end he will not be defeated. read more

They handled my car accident case many years ago, 6-7 I'd say. I didn't even know what reviewing a business was back then so I never did it but I did share his mailers with several friends. I was pleased with how they handled my case. It took a few months but their great customer service and constant updates had me drive to Pasadena only once or twice throughout those months saving me so much time because I was car-less. They helped me more than any other "quote" I got on the phone with anyone else. I definitely recommend them, the mailers help keep them in mind! And the customer service!!! read more

Manibog and team represented me after I was rear ended on the freeway. They did everything they could to help me. I felt lost and vulnerable and had no idea what to do next. Manibog took the reins and took care of everything for me. They found me doctor's, they talked to all the insurance companies for me, they talked to the other parties lawyers. Manibog also made me feel really comfortable and like he actually cares about my health. I have had other lawyers who made me feel stupid and confused. I never felt this way with Manibog. All I had to worry about was getting better. It was a relief. It also helped that Manibog was able to get me a settlement that I never dreamed would happen. It was more then I thought I was going to get. I highly recommend Manibog. Hopefully this never happens but if I ever get into another accident, I won't hesitate to call Manibog again. read more

I needed a lawyer to represent me in a car accident. My fiance already had a successful car accident case through Gilda, Darren, and the firm. After her successful case, I was satisfied and decided to have them represent me. This was a pretty complicated case because I was on the freeway and rear-ended, causing me to apparently hit a car in front of me. They got my fiance a nice award, in a timely manner, and were amazing at communication. After less than 6 months, they achieved great results for my case too. Big thanks to Gilda, Darren, and all the team that I spoke with during my case! I highly recommend them and I will for sure be coming back if I ever need representation again! read more

I had never sought the help of an attorney before so when I was involved in a car accident, I felt slightly overwhelmed. Through my internet research, I came across Manibog Law and decided to call and give them a try. I was afraid I would end up with an attorney that was money driven and wouldn't care for me personally. From my first meeting with Mr. Manibog I knew I had made the right decision. He took the time to listen intently and advised me step by step. I provided him with my paperwork and he took care of everything else while keeping me up to date. Darren is incredibly knowledgeable, trustworthy and kind. He and Patty, the other attorney, genuinely care about their clients. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

The service and attention I received from Attorney Manibog and his staff was exemplary. In the initial consultation, he patiently and thoroughly explained all my options and described the process. Throughout my case, I knew exactly what to expect. His staff was very professional and responsive. I was at ease during the entire process and received regular updates on my case. He obtained a great settlement and I am so thankful I was referred to him. If you want not only the best attorney, but also someone who actually cares, he is your lawyer! read more

I was injured at work, but was scared to seek legal help because I don't know any attorneys personally and thought I would end up with a "yes man", someone who would overlook my needs in order to make a few bucks. Fortunately that was not the case with Mr. Manibog and his staff. Not only did they give me their time, but they listened. Mr. Manibog and his team knew exactly what to do and how to keep me informed. His staff helped me get my portion of the case ready: paperwork, doctor visits, etc. and they took care of everything else. In the end, I didn't even have to go to court. They were able to help me and my family with professionalism and compassion in a moment when we needed it the most. read more

Manibog Law is a fantastic law firm. Darren and his team make things easy and stress free. We got into a car accident a few years and we didn't know what to do. We looked at few other law firms but the others didn't seem to fit us. Darren explained things very easily to us and basically told us step by step what was going to happen. Fast forward to now, I was involved in another accident and just didn't feel comfortable in my situation and called Darren for some advise and he said don't worry about it, I will take care of everything. Life throws things at us and there is only so much I can take. Darren and his team diffidently are there to help make our life easier and stress free. Thank you Manibog Law for helping myself and my family. read more

I visited Manibog Law last month and had a tour of their office. I had the opportunity to sit with Darren Manibog for a consultation about how cases are processed and he explained to me what types of injury cases they take as they don't just take anyone off the street, they take cases that should be good for their clients. This is why I choose him a professional reliable recommendation. Having worked with Manibog Law on a professional basis now for over three years, I must declare he is one of the few ethical personal injury attorneys in the Pasadena area. I am not saying he is the only great PI attorney in Pasadena but there are not very many with this caliber of expertise and efficiency. Office location is convenient with plenty of parking. Professional staff who always respond via phone or email. He cares for his clients and strives for excellence. He is one of the best injury lawyers in Pasadena or surrounding areas. Many of these places have one thing in mind and that is helping themselves, but at this office the client is the one who gets help. They have the best interest of the client in mind and will always process your auto accident case with care and professionalism. I would not hesitate recommending them to anyone in the area. Note: This original review was removed because Yelp stated it was not a first hand experience. I have experienced how this law office does business from a professional standpoint, meaning they actually pay their doctors fair when they settle for cases. They pay the doctor, the client and they get paid fair but not excessively. When an office answers their phones, returns calls and in generally nice, I think others should know this be them a client or someone looking to interact with their office. I have so in fact had a "first hand experience", just because I didn't sue somebody doesn't mean I have not interacted with their office. I think people should know their morality and ethics is much higher than most if not all other PI attorneys I have worked with professionally. read more

Darren Manibog of Manibog Law PC is one of the best attorneys that cares about his clients. Darren and his team made the legal process much easier and stress-free for me to deal with. I was in a multi-car accident heading home from work. After this incident I knew I needed to take legal action because of my injuries and damage to my car. I came across Mr. Manibog's Personal Injury Law website and decided to give him a call. Darren was polite, understanding, and patient with me throughout the process. I will definitely recommend Darren and his team! Thank you Manibog Law. read more

March 2013 I was on my way home and a car pulled out of a shopping center parking lot and t-boned me on my passenger side. The driver was an older man that began to verbally attack me and blame me for the accident while I was trying to tend to my 2 year old daughter in the back seat. Me and my daughter thankfully walked away from the accident but I began to feel the pain the next day with severe back and neck pain. I then decided that it would be best to contact a lawyer and I looked up a few lawyers in my area and gave Manibog Law PC a call. It was a Sunday and I left a message and Darren Manibog returned my call within an hour. He suggested that I go to urgent care right away and get myself checked out and we made an appointment for me to come in on Monday he answered all my questions and advised on what plan if action to take he quickly got me into a chiropractor and started on my case right away. It was a slower process due to the fact that the other driver was denying liability. It took a little less than a year and I received my settlement. Thank you Darren Manibog for helping me through this very difficult time read more
