A Letter from Ted Manley: MDK’s Focus for the Year Ahead

Dear MDK Clients,

As we begin 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on where we are and share how we are positioning MDK for the year ahead.

‍

Progress That Matters to Clients

Over the past year, our focus has been disciplined growth and continuous improvement, all centered on delivering an exceptional client experience. We delivered further reductions in timelines across our work, strengthened data security, enhanced our technology tools, and expanded visibility into how matters progress.  

We also invested in leadership and new capabilities that allow us to analyze client needs with precision and build smart, reliable solutions. These efforts reinforce our commitment to being a firm that is responsive, dependable, and prepared for what comes next.

‍

Leading in a Competitive Market

The legal services landscape continues to evolve, particularly in the mortgage space. This reality pushes us to raise our standards even higher. In 2026, we are strengthening coordination across our attorneys and operations teams to deliver speed, accuracy, and a consistently smooth experience for our clients.  

Our continued growth in Florida is an important part of this momentum, and across every jurisdiction we see opportunities to deliver a higher level of service for clients seeking consistency, clarity, and results.

‍

People First, Client Obsessed

Our direction this year is guided by a simple principle: people first, client obsessed. When we invest in our people and equip them with the right tools and support, that care translates directly into the client experience. That connection shows up in the way we communicate, anticipate needs, and deliver work with care and consistency.

Trust is earned through follow-through, transparency, and a deep understanding of what matters most to you.

‍

The Year Ahead

We enter 2026 with confidence and purpose. By continuing to modernize our technology, diversify our capabilities, and strengthen how we work together, we are reinforcing MDK for the long term. Our goal remains straightforward: to be the firm you trust, rely on, and choose because we deliver memorably better service.

Thank you for your continued partnership. We look forward to building on this momentum together in the year ahead.

With gratitude,

Ted Manley

Founder and Principal
