This organization is a legitimate not for profit organization that helps inmates with their post conviction issues. All of their staff have membership in their respective State Bar Associations and are licensed to practice law in their state. This organization was created as a charity and has been helping inmates and their families for free. They request a nominal fee that is refundable if they do not undertake the case. The fee is used to purchase court documents necessary for the proper review of the case. Recently this organization has been under attack by an individual named David Firsk aka David Fed Ex. This individual operates numerous websites and has a site named Prisontalk.com On this site Mr. Firsk has chosen to steer inmate families seeking information about Manifest Non Obstante Veredicto Network to a blog where he, under various user names appears to be a concerned family expressing issues that paint our organization as a scam. If you read these postings carefully and those made on other site you will realize that the same person is making the complaints. You will also be able to note that the complaints are all hypothetical and that no real demonstrable issues are raised. Instead you have this individual making false allegations with the intent to cause our organization to divert resources. This effort on Mr. Firsk's behalf began when our organization contacted him via email and requested that he remove a libelous posting on his prisontalk.com website. Mr. Firsk complied and then created various sites and posted various negative comments about our organization. Prisontalk.com does not supply an address, phone number or company name. Mr. Firsk is a convicted Federal prisoner and has numerous complaints lodged against him for dubious requests for donations. Apparently Mr. Firsk owns nearly 100 websites and uses them to elicit money from unsuspecting persons. The information about Mr. Firsk is available if you seek it. Please do not be misled by this individual and those persons seeking to disparage our organization's good works. Asimple phone call to our organization at [protected] will allow us to provide you with the information you seek.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Where my son is, they sent these letters to everyone even though they say there is a screening proccess.
They are corporation in Delaware, but only since May of this year. But they claim they have done this since 1995 in the letters. Also, the name under Delaware website is "Manifest Non Obstante Veredicto Network MNN Inc), but they use different names sometimes. Sometimes they put the MNN after the Inc or they don't use it at all. And they tell us to send the money to MNN Inc or Manifest Non Obstante Veredicto even though MNN Inc is a different company.
On the BBB website the contact person is "Shani Burton Johson" though she writes it as "Shani Burton" in the web pages you find. If you google search "Shani Burton Johnson" you get interesting results. The letters our boys and men are getting include the name of "Shannan D. de Jesus" who is a member of the Florida bar. I think they use her name to get away with the scam.
Also, I found this post by "Shannan de Jesus" amusing. It insists the people on the "Contact Us" page are real but that people are making websites using those names to I guess steal the thunder of Manifest Non Blah. But google search of the names "Amanda Taviani" and "Gregg Moody" reveals that these people don't actually exist. They are stock names, for a web site designe software package where you are supposed to use the stock picture but not keep the name given by the web design company (because that would be too obvious.) The picture for "Amanda Taviani" is often titled "Mature Lady Smiling" -- just a stock picture an name for people who want to appear legit but are not.
What really bizarre is that they claim this long history and this enormous call volume but you can't find anything about them online. And apparently this "Shani Burton" was sending these letters to inmates a few months before the organization exists.
It is creepy and makes me so damn angry. Someone will deal with these people, but this lawyer and a lot of families are going to get screwed before this happens..

They took our case and never answered us again. They robbed us.
They accepted our case years ago took our money and never replied back, the phone never has a person answer. No return call. They said for sure they could help. Had us sign papers kept the money. The address in NY is a mail forward service. They don’t exist they are a scam. BBB has them listed as a scam. DO NOT TRUST THEM!
Here are facts you took out money saying my nephew David Musgrove at James Alfred unit qualified. You sent us paperwork to sign, notarized and you kept our money and we never heard from you again. If you are legit call us, fix this help us. Don’t rob us.
