“Mani Ellis & Layne, if you haven't hired this law firm yet, you're doing it wrong. After my auto accident I had broken bones torn ligaments and other injuries. I had to manage doctor's appointments, physical therapy and surgical consult visits constantly. The one thing I didn't have to worry about was my legal case. Mani Ellis & Layne took care of all of it and kept me up to date constantly. I never felt at any time that their top priority was anything other than what was best for me and my family. Kim is who we worked with the majority of the time and I cannot find enough kind words to say about her. She is truly a fantastic person! Mani Ellis & Layne has not only earned a lifetime client, they have earned my trust.”

-Lee A.   5 Star Review graphic

"I have used Mani Ellis & Layne several times for various needs and have never been disappointed. They take their slogan “it’s not just business. It’s personal” to the next level and actually take time to get to know you and your needs/case. They show compassion and you truly do not feel like “just another client.” Through the years, my client/attorney relationship has turned into a great friendship with Jon, and I will continue to use their firm as needed. I would not hesitate to recommend him, his fellow partners, or his staff to anyone. They are all exemplary humans who go above and beyond, always exceeding your expectations. The world could use more people like them."

-Tina S.   5 Star Review graphic 

"Several years ago my daughter Cheyenne Hise was killed. She was 12 years old. I was devastated and completely lost. I made one phone call that was answered in about 5 minutes. I had a personal meeting in public because I was fearful they wouldn't be the people to help me. Today every single one of them could come to my house for supper or holidays. An excellent, intelligent, motivated staff. I cannot express how gently they dealt with a mother who has just lost her child, while being fierce and determined to get some kind of justice. They are honest and have integrity. I always knew what was going on because I was allowed to be part of the team. If you are going to fight for something what could be better than a winning team? This law firm is the best, you will not find anyone who will work as hard, sacrifice as much and get the results you need. #1."

-Dewitt Hale   5 Star Review graphic

"Mani Ellis & Layne, PLLC was invaluable in helping me through a difficult time. After my husband passed in an accident, I didn't know which end was up. I had briefly consulted with an attorney that happened to be an ole friend of my family. I had a lot of questions and couldn't seem to get any answers. I turned to Damon Ellis, with all my overwhelming emotions and questions. On top of all of that, we were crunched for time with the insurance company filings, etc. Damon 'held my hand' and walked me through the steps we needed to take and made sure "our" journey was as easy as possible on me and my kids. He and the others answered my questions, no matter how trivial (even on the weekends!), and took time out of their day to speak with me anytime I needed. The office treated me like family, they knew me by first name and I never felt like 'just a client.' Not only would I recommend Mani Ellis & Layne, PLLC to others I think of them as part of my family. They made sure I was able to care for my kids financially, and helped me stay sane throughout the entire process. It's coming up on three years since my case was resolved, and I still get birthday cards, and 'thinking about you' emails. I pray I never need them again, God forbid, but if I do I know where to turn."

-Turonia Shultz   5 Star Review graphic

"I would tell everyone, if you're looking for a firm, call Mani Ellis & Layne."

-Kathleen Sullivan   5 Star Review graphic

"I first used Mani Ellis & Layne approximately 3 years ago. I had the pleasure of working with Jon Mani and was impressed with his knowledge in regards to my case. He has since continued to provide services for not only me but also my wife. We are beyond pleased with everything he has represented us in and will continue to use him for all of our legal needs. I simply cannot say enough positive things about Jon or the staff of Mani Ellis & Layne. What started as a cold call seeking counsel has turned into a valued and respected friend. I recommend you call them first, they will exceed your expectations."

-Becky Tompa   5 Star Review graphic

"The definition for satisfied is to go beyond a person's expectations enough to make somebody feel reassured. And that is how Damon has left me feeling in regards to my Dads auto accident. I was referred to this firm by a friend who was involved in an auto accident. As soon as you call you get personal attention, answers to your questions and incredible customer service. Damon goes into details in a way you can understand. You are not pushed into making any decisions. Damon went above and beyond to help us. I would definitely recommend that if you are looking for legal services to carefully consider choosing Damon with Mani Ellis & Layne."

-Shannon Shaffer   5 Star Review graphic

"I have used Mani Ellis & Layne for a few of my legal needs and am beyond pleased with this firm, but more specifically, Jon Mani. His knowledge and confidence is reassuring and the rapport I've been able to develop with him adds a personal touch. I will use Jon for any/all of my legal needs and simply cannot verbalize enough how pleased I am in every aspect of the services he's rendered. I highly recommend you consult with him before contacting another law firm. You won't be disappointed!"

-Monica Tompa   5 Star Review graphic

-Dewayne Craft   5 Star Review graphic

"John Mani was our lawyer and him and his staff were very helpful and made us feel like we were a part of their family, we won our adoption case and with his help my wife and I finally have a happy little family. They are great people and if I ever need a lawyer again I will hire them."

-Matthew Criswell   5 Star Review graphic

"I live in OH and had an accident in WV so I needed to find an attorney to handle my case. From the first phone call I knew Damon was the right choice. He was very caring and was willing to do what he needed to do to make this trying time for me as easy as possible. No matter what the issue was that I was having, Damon and Cherry always made themselves available. I can't be more pleased with how I was treated and I totally felt like I was part of their family. Such a wonderful firm and great people. Definitely would recommend them to anyone needing an attorney."

-Lisa Decker   5 Star Review graphic

"Mani, Ellis, & Layne helped me make sure my medical bills were payed after I was hit by a car.

-Katherine Crain   5 Star Review graphic

"I got Mani Ellis and Layne for a car wreck I was in and Kelly and Jon were awesome. They were on top of things and go the job done. They were always so pleasant and understanding. They made me and my family feel like we were part of their family. I have used them for other things after my wreck and they were still great. Would recommend them for anyone needing a law firm."

-Crystal Ashworth   5 Star Review graphic

"Mani Ellis & Layne, 'Mani' and Kelly helped me through the process of getting my disability, after all the doctors' appointments and tests I went through, filling out all the paperwork was the last thing on my mind. Mani made me feel like a person not a cripple and Kelly answered all the questions I needed answered. They are the best and I would recommend their firm to any and everyone I know."

-Lisa Bailey   5 Star Review graphic

"These guys were pros all the way though my car accident case. Honest and never gave me unreasonable expectations about my case, they were thoughtful and explained everything in detail."

-T Paranzino   5 Star Review graphic

"Damon Ellis took care of me every step of the way. He made sure I knew my rights as a victim. He took care of all the insurance inquiries, not just the auto insurance, but for all my medical care bills. I could call him or his staff anytime as well as he called me on a regular basis to check the status of my care and recovery and keep me informed about my case. He made sure I was compensated and fought for me! I had peace of mind knowing he was taking care of the legal issues so I could concentrate on getting better and getting on with my life."
