Beyond his work with clients, Manny is committed to making legal knowledge accessible

For over 10 years, Manny has authored the Hypotheticals, a popular weekly column in the Coffs Coast News Of The Area. Each article presents a fictional legal scenario (often inspired by real cases) and explains legal principles in plain English, with a clear and engaging example.

These stories cover everything from disputed wills and blended family inheritance to superannuation beneficiaries and powers of attorney. The column has become a local institution, helping thousands of readers understand their legal rights and responsibilities before facing a crisis.

Manny also speaks at community events and works with local organisations to raise awareness about estate planning, elder law, and safeguarding vulnerable family members. 

As a founding member of the Law Society's Elder Law Advisory Committee, Manny helped establish NSW's first Elder Law accreditation program and now assesses new specialist applicants.
