Absolutely fantastic! I am an active duty E-6 Technical Sergeant in the Air Force, stationed in Shaw AFB, SC. I cannot say enough how impressed I am with Mr Mangan. I was facing an Article 120 with multiple specs and an article 128. He reviewed the facts, the evidence, and the testimonies of everyone involved. He kept in mind that I was going through a divorce and custody battle, as well. He was extremely knowledgeable on the law and was able to strategically examine and cross examine witnesses so that we got what we needed and more from them. Something that was extremely important to me is that Mr Mangan made it very obvious that he cared about me as a person, not just another client. He kept me up to date, was understanding and inquired about my other struggles, and he listened to what I had to say and took it into consideration as needed. Mr Mangan did what every good attorney should do and he realized that I knew this case backwards and forward, so he was sure to take what I said and use it if he found it necessary. Mr Mangan no doubt saved my 12 year active duty Air Force career and I cannot thank, praise, or recommend him enough for it. There is a joke that 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name- well he is without a doubt part of that 1%! View More

Excellent legal representation Sean Mangan is an excellent lawyer and I am honestly very grateful to have him representing me. I would find it hard to believe there is a lawyer who could compare to him on both the military and civilian side of things, he is very wise and he is excellent at defusing a situation and getting around to peoples better side. Personally I felt like he was very invested in my case and he actually cares about how the case affects you and your family. He is very thorough and dedicates the appropriate amount of time to you and your situation. Honestly I can’t put into words how great he is but being represented by him is literally a privilege. Thank you Sean Mangan. View More

I wish I could give him 10 Stars If you are reading this, congratulations. Your search for attorneys is over. Stop and CALL SEAN RIGHT NOW. This is a very competent, intelligent, knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring attorney. If he takes your case, he will deliver superior advocacy and will not back down until you get the best outcome humanly possible within the circumstances of your situation. And I say call him now, because his prowess has not gone unnoticed. There will inevitably come a time (even if it is temporary) where he doesn’t have the bandwidth for new clients simply because there are only 24 hours in a day. I don’t want that to happen to you and for you to miss out on this attorney. Whatever your specific legal circumstances, (if you’re reading this), you need someone with his skillsets and experience defending you. Okay that being said, here is a bit more about my situation. I have been dealing with a challenging and multifaceted legal matter for nearly the past 3 years. I was facing a 15-6, criminal investigation, and a complicated medical issue that lay at the root of all my legal troubles. Over that time, I interviewed at least 15 attorneys. I even hired 3 before I landed on Sean. All of my prior counsels had their strong points and were superior attorneys, skilled at their craft. But my gut just told me that they weren’t the right people for my case. While every case is unique, almost every legal issue can fall into a certain category/ box. Mine truly couldn’t, because it differed from 99% of legal matters. I needed a lawyer who didn’t just follow a cookie cutter approach. I needed someone who was a nuanced, critical thinker with strong instincts and an adaptable and proactive approach. Someone who was forward thinking. It wasn’t until Sean took my case that I finally started sleeping at night. And I haven’t looked back. He gave me an exceptional outcome that I didn’t dream possible because no other attorney I spoke to believed I had a shot. But Sean listened and we stayed the course together until WE WON. He is honest, empathetic, a great listener, and (most importantly), he understands the system. He knows how it works. He knows how to interact with your Command and with the military’s prosecutors. He is a bulldog when it comes to defending you. I was amazed how my Command didn’t even bother responding to my prior attorneys, but then suddenly started becoming responsive as soon as Sean got involved. They knew that they were dealing with a formidable adversary. Sean will make you feel protected as he puts your opponents on the run in a way that only he knows how to do. But he also has the charisma and interpersonal skills to negotiate when the time is right. You see, the military’s legal system may feel like a giant, unhuman behemoth to you, but it is personality driven. A skilled attorney knows how to navigate those personalities. Sean will give them a tactical victory to soothe their egos if it means that the strategic victory will be yours in the long run. He is also PROACTIVE rather than reactive. Many attorneys will tell you just to “lie low” and wait for bad things to happen to you so they can respond/ rebut and bill you for their time. Meanwhile, you are stressing out and feeling powerless. In contrast, Sean will actually GET AHEAD of things and get your case resolved before it snowballs into a disaster. That is what he did for me. Your time is valuable and you have decisions to make. I leave you by wishing you the best of luck in your search for attorneys and repeat my advice to- CALL SEAN RIGHT NOW. Even if you don’t hire him, he will answer your questions and provide you invaluable advice to assist you going forward (for free). If you do hire him, it will be one of the best decisions you ever made. View More

Excellent attorney with military experience LTC Sean Mangan, USA, Retired, holds a wealth of knowledge from his experience in military law enforcement as well as his time as an Army JAG officer. As a Reserve Soldier myself, a matter came up that I thought may have had military implications so LTC Mangan was quick to respond and give me his advice over the phone. Once I retained him, he was always super responsive and helped not only ease my concern, but also stood beside me and helped me clear up my issue. Sean is still very responsive, even to this day, although the case has been closed and it's been well over a year. I highly recommend LTC Sean Mangan not only for members of the military but for anyone who needs someone to interceed legally on their behalf. He won't let you down! View More
