Frequently asked questions

How much does The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC charge?
The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC offer a free consultation?
Yes. The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC publishes a free initial consultation. The firm states it will visit clients in hospital or at home.
Where does The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC have offices?
The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC publishes one office, in San Diego. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC?
The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC names ten attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: California does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
Are the case results The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC publishes verified?
No. The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC publishes eleven case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC?
The Law Office of Paul Mankin, APC scores 68 and sits at Verified. Passed: website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure, discipline and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
