Seth A. Manaker
Founding partner Seth Manaker has been practicing as a real estate attorney in Charleston since 1996. Originally from Hartford, Connecticut, Seth graduated from Trinity College with a degree in Urban Studies and Economics, and obtained his Juris Doctor from the Western New England College School of Law.
Seth's affinity for the South stems from his mother's Southern roots - her entire family is native to Charleston and he has always considered the city his second home.
Both MCA and Seth, personally, support several charitable organizations including the March of Dimes, where he is a member of the local Board of Directors, and the Leukemia Society, to which Seth and his brothers contribute annually to honor the memory of their late mother, Harriet. Seth lives on James Island with his wife, Barbara, two children, and two dogs.
