About

Oliver Maner LLP is a full-service law firm headquartered in Savannah, Georgia, with a history stretching back to 1897. Founded by Judge Hansford Dade Duncan Twiggs and Frank Oliver, the firm has maintained an unwavering commitment to service and excellence for over 125 years. That founding ethos—rooted in justice, integrity, and professional distinction—continues to guide the firm's work today.

The firm now comprises 28 lawyers across multiple practice areas, enabling Oliver Maner to serve a diverse clientele ranging from individuals and families to some of Savannah's largest businesses, government entities, and organizations throughout the Southeast. Since formally becoming Oliver Maner LLP in 2009, the firm has experienced significant growth and has undertaken some of the most substantial cases in Georgia and the broader region. Recent engagements have included high-stakes litigation spanning criminal defense, including a federal death penalty case, and complex civil matters involving precedent-setting legal issues and damages in the tens of millions of dollars.

From its inception, the firm has demonstrated a commitment to principled legal representation. In one of its earliest cases, Twiggs & Oliver successfully defended members of an African American family in Darien, Georgia, who faced wrongful murder charges. Judge Twiggs proved the clients had acted in self-defense, securing a jury acquittal in what was a landmark case for its time.

Oliver Maner's attorneys maintain active leadership roles within the legal profession and broader community. Firm lawyers have served as officers in prominent legal organizations, including the State Bar of Georgia (where Pat O'Connor served as Past President), the Federal Bar Association, the Savannah Bar Association, and the Georgia Judicial Nominating Commission. Beyond the practice of law, Oliver Maner and its lawyers dedicate substantial time and resources to charitable work and community organizations, reflecting a deep commitment to the Savannah area beyond the courtroom.

The firm handles both litigation and transactional matters across numerous disciplines, bringing experience in local, state, and federal law to bear on each engagement. Whether representing a municipality, a corporation, or an individual, Oliver Maner approaches each matter with the same standard of care and dedication to client interests that has defined its practice for more than a century.
