PHILOSOPHY

Compassion

Reuben is acutely aware that clients experiencing some of life's most unfortunate events are also  those that would benefit from legal counsel the most.  He respects his clients' situations and works to minimize the clients’ stress and distress.  Reuben is a fierce advocate for his clients and works tirelessly to try to achieve the best results possible  in today’s legal system.

Transparency

Reuben believes in open and honest communication regarding the status of his clients' matters.  He gives his clients honest feedback.  Reuben informs his clients of their options and empowers them  to choose how they want to proceed. 

As part of providing open, honest, and timely communication, Reuben utilizes modern case management software.  This software safely and securely allows clients to communicate with him, access documents and filings, and check on their bills. 

Fit

Reuben believes that everyone should have access to the right lawyer.  Engaging the right lawyer begins with trust: the client’s trust in the lawyers competence and the lawyer’s trust in the clients intention .  With mutual trust, the client and the lawyer can successfully collaborate and work towards the best outcome.

Affordability

Having access to the right lawyer means being able to afford that lawyer.  Reuben is willing to explore different payment methods, including hourly, fixed rate, contingency and payment plans or some combination of the above.

 

Would you rather represent yourself? Reuben will consult with you and coach you so that you can have confidence you need in the courts. This is called "unbundled legal services" and is often the most economical choice for the client who would rather represent themselves. 

 

Reuben uses modern technology to help reduce the cost of services to his clients.  He is available to his clients in person through video conference, phone, text message, email or via message sent through the client portal.

REUBEN MANNING
PRINCIPAL/ATTORNEY

Reuben grew up in Chester, Connecticut and attended Xavier High School in Middletown, CT.

 

After passing the bar, Reuben began his work as an attorney researching oil and gas title in the Marcellus Shale in Belmont County, Ohio.  He returned to Connecticut and worked in a small law firm on the Connecticut Shoreline.  He later hung his shingle before partnering with two other attorneys to form Gadbois Audet & Associates LLC.  He is grateful for the opportunity to work with his former partners but is excited to return to solo practice in the Northeastern Connecticut.  Reuben’s practice is focused on DCF, probate, family and business law. 

In his free time, Reuben cheers on his children as they play softball and baseball.  An avid reader, he and his wife collect books.  He happily builds bookshelves for their ever-expanding collection.  He enjoys woodworking, gardening, and stone wall building and repair.  A past resident of Chicago and the Philadelphia suburbs, he resides in Scotland, CT with his wife and four children.
