Manring & Farrell

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience. Over the course of two years, I was represented by four different attorneys at this firm. In my experience, communication was inconsistent and often delayed. I frequently did not receive timely responses to phone calls or emails, and I did not receive copies of paperwork that was filed with the court unless I specifically requested information. This process was very stressful for me and felt disorganized. Once I informed the firm that I was considering terminating representation, communication became more immediate. I have since retained a new attorney who provides prompt communication and sends documentation right away, which has made a significant difference. I encourage others to carefully consider their needs and expectations regarding communication and case management when selecting legal representation.

Super nice and helpful staff, Molly was my attorney and she is very friendly and helpful and answered any questions I had throughout the process. I won my appeal! I am very grateful for everyone who worked on my case!

I was fortunate enough to be pointed in the direction of Manring & Farrell in early 2024 to help me fight for disability benefits, and I couldn’t have located a more thorough, honest and compassionate law firm. I recently was represented by Ms. Molly Marzola at my hearing and due to the diligence of Mollyand her knowledge of my case, she was able to help me win my case…I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm for anyone looking for fair, understanding legal representation. I give 10 stars out of 5

I presently would never recommend this firm. I applied in 2018 and the case dragged on until 2024. Molly Trefand was the one who handled my case and communication was terrible. I repeatedly asked "IS there anything else I need to have for you for the hearing?" to which she said nope everything was ready for go. 10 minutes before a hearing she calls to tell me everything she's missing. Even after I was EVENTUALLY granted SSDI, I STILL had to contact my congressman to get my settlement because Manring and Ferrell sat on it for months. I filed in 2018, I was granted SSDI, finally, in Feb 2024. It is now Mid April 2025 and this firm didn't even apply for this fee disbursement until a few days ago, AFTER I went to SSA and demanded the rest of my settlement. DO NOT HIRE MANRING AND FERRELL if you want clear communication, updates on your case, or any of your settlement. I would NEVER hire them again, and I would have never hired them had I read reviews before hand. Do your due diligence if hiring SSA attorneys.

I was referred to this law firm by Atticus for my SSDI claim. Overall they did a really great job and I felt after my hearing that I had been represented very well, and the case turned out in my favor. I felt they answered all of my questions adequately and addressed my concerns well throughout the process. I have an "invisible" illness that is not very well-known and the severity of which is often dismissed by people who do not understand it, so I had a lot of concerns about making sure the government got all of the right information and about being taken seriously, and I ended up being very happy with how my case was handled by this firm. I did have a little trouble with communicating with them throughout the process and had a few occasions where I had to follow up about a question a couple of times to get a response. But that was just a slight hiccup; they switched the attorney who was on my case partway in, and after I got in direct contact with the attorney who ended up representing me in my hearing, Ashton, the communication greatly improved. Because of this I still give the experience 5 stars, as I am extremely thankful to Manring and Farrell for all that they did to assist me in being able to get my disability case approved, as well as making me feel comfortable throughout the anxious process of waiting for the claim to be processed. I would definitely say I recommend them.

10-Star Experience with Manring & Farrell – Especially Attorney Eric Cole & Molly Marzola I began working with Manring & Farrell in 2021 on my Social Security Disability case, and I cannot thank them enough for their dedication and persistence. From the very start, they believed in my case and never gave up on me—even when we had to take it all the way to federal court and eventually to the Sixth District Court. Attorney Eric Cole played a vital role in my case, and I want to give special recognition to Molly Marzola. Molly was nothing short of incredible. She was with me every step of the way, especially during the final hearing, where she was on the call with the judge. She prepped me thoroughly, made sure I felt confident, and was always quick to respond to my questions and phone calls. Her support meant the world to me. Thanks to their hard work, I was ultimately awarded Social Security Disability benefits. I am beyond grateful for everything this firm has done. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would—I give them a 10-star rating! ⸻

Very professional and helpful. Quick to respond and honest with expectations. Always giving 100% to their clients.
