Tony Mankus is President of the law firm Mankus & Marchan, Ltd., located in the western suburbs of Chicago.

Tony’s literary background includes writing and publishing (in various legal journals) a number of technical articles dealing with tax and bankruptcy issues. He has also written more personal and creative articles that were published in “Lithuanian Heritage Magazine” and “Rivulets,” a publication of the Naperville Writers Group. Years ago, when he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador, he traveled throughout the country and wrote site reports for the Director of Peace Corps in Ecuador. He also edited a bilingual magazine there called “El Ecuador.”

His wife, Margarita Marchan-Mankus, is also an attorney and principal with the law firm. Her practice focuses on Social Security disability cases and real estate matters. She is licensed in both Illinois and Puerto Rico. Tony and Margarita have four adult daughters: Clarissa, Camille, Margarita and Ariana, and 3 grand children - Emilio, Cristian and Felix.
