With more than a decade of experience as a trial lawyer, Cindy brings a strong courtroom presence and deep understanding of criminal law to her practice. Her background as a former Assistant District Attorney allows her to approach each matter with insight into prosecutorial strategy, evidentiary standards, and Georgia criminal procedure, positioning her to advocate effectively for her clients.

In addition to trial work, Cindy has significant appellate experience in both civil and criminal matters. Cindy has argued cases before the Georgia Court of Appeals and the Georgia Supreme Court. She is admitted to practice before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. This appellate background strengthens her ability to analyze complex legal issues and preserve critical arguments.

While in law school, Cindy Manning served as an editor of the Boston University Law Review and was active in moot court and mock trial programs, as well as the criminal law clinic, where she gained early prosecutorial experience. She remains committed to providing diligent, confident, and client-focused representation rooted in expertise, preparation, and integrity.
