You deserve a good attorney, but you NEED this attorney. Even if charges brought against you for alleged violations of the law are hyperbolic, wildly mischaracterized, bloated, or even objectively false, this may be the scariest event of your life. Even if you know what you did, what you certainly did not do, and know your actions and decisions were wrought from moments of weakness with the best of intentions, this may be the scariest event of your life. Your freedom, your livelihood, reputation, future, friends, and even family can all be at stake. This can be a torrent of physical, mental, and existential crises. Mr. Melton can help guide you. The law is written to protect our society and way of life. Punishment should be dealt out in accordance with the degree of violation of socially accepted norms; this is the basic tenant of a just system of law, our system of law. Unfortunately, there can be times when charges brought are based upon subjective and mischaracterized accounts with, at the very most, highly questionable and circumstantial evidence. Charges and potential punishment can far exceed the intents of a just system. In these situations, details matter. A skilled attorney working for YOU matters. Despite doing their best at a difficult, almost impossible job, law enforcement can be inadequate in exploring these details. You have the fundamental right to remain silent for a good reason. The state and prosecution are very powerful, much more powerful than you. Overworked and under supported public defenders, less skilled attorneys, or those without the personal touch and diehard dedication to justice may not be enough to provide you with fair and just representation. I witnessed this first hand throughout the horrible crucible I had to endure. I learned about the system of law and justice and was able to stay grounded and ultimately reach justice after hiring Mr. Melton. I did not understand how the word 'felony' could even be possible; terrifying, unjust, unfair, impossible. I thought my life was over until Mr. Melton took the time to consult with me and hear my story. He took the time to get to know me and listened to the details. The details mattered to him. This was a hard, complicated, heartbreaking story tainted and twisted by a broken relationship, love, anger, resentment, and addiction. This was a hard case for any attorney, but Mr. Melton took it in stride. He provided a rock solid, objective, even calculated viewpoint when necessary and a level of friendly, approachable support crucial to the process of finding justice for his client. He worked tirelessly, above and beyond, to reach not only a great outcome, but a just outcome. In my case, a resolution was reached in which I was able to look the Court in the eye without resignation and take responsibility for my gross misdemeanor offense. Three felony charges and another gross misdemeanor charge were dismissed because Mr. Melton got to the truth, through the myriad of details, and demonstrated this to the state so that his client got the outcome they deserved. He saved me from disaster, from injustice, and he may have saved my life. His work was truly exemplary. When you need help, when you need the best, you NEED the services of Mr. Melton.

In poor judgement, I hunted deer without a license not thinking that I was going to even see a buck. I did in fact see a buck, decided to take the shot, and killed it. I have never seen a game warden in my lifetime, and as bad luck would have it, as I was dragging the deer towards my truck, a game warden drove up. Busted. The game warden wrote up the citations, but did not specifically call them out, but instead would allow the prosecuting attorney to decide how to cite them. In aggregate, they could have put me in jail for 365 days, up to a $10,000 fine, and a gross misdemeanor on my record. I contacted Mr. Melton and he immediately he claimed that hunting infractions were his expertise, that I shouldn’t be worried, and that he would get a reduced sentence. He was very kind and friendly, knew the law, and knew the hunting industry. Instead of waiting for the prosecuting attorney to charge me with the four citations and then negotiate the charges down, Mr. Melton proactively negotiated with the prosecuting attorney before he formally filed charges against me, resulting in me being charged with only one of four counts, a gross misdemeanor for illegal hunting of big game. No jail time. Two years hunting probation. Fine of $2500. Before the trial, Mr. Melton advised his approach on his strategy. He would indirectly try and get the judge to defer the sentence once my probationary time had been served. The challenge was that Mr. Melton could not overtly ask the judge for it because there was already an agreement in place with the prosecuting attorney and the prosecuting attorney could revoke the agreement. At the trial, the judge accepted the prosecuting attorney’s charges. I was granted an opportunity to state anything I wanted to say. I acknowledged that I made a serious mistake in judgement, was a professional, no prior criminal history, father, and in good standing in the community. I asked that given my circumstances, that judge would consider derring my sentence once my probationary period was up. He grated that. Without the coaching by Mr. Melton, I would have no known that was even an option or something I could ask for at the time of trial. In the end, I was very fortunate at the outcome. After two years of probation, the sentence will be dropped and the only consequence for me is a hard lesson learned, two years probation from hunting, and a fine of $2500. It could have been a lot worse. I am very grateful for the legal acumen of Mr. Melton, his network within the hunting industry, and his tenacity, strategy, insight, and friendliness.

Great guy. 10/10 should hire this man to help beat your case. He went out of his way to meet with me amidst the pandemic, and was very professional. Thank you, for all you did for me Andrew!

Great job representing me and working in my defense, resulted in my case being dismissed.

What can I say, Mr. Melton is, and always has been since I met him in my first case as a Public Defender, a friend. He puts every second of time you could ask for into all of his clients. Answers your calls, which is something I have experienced to not be the norm. Through every bit of trouble I have got myself into as a young man, he's been there, always ask intelligent questions and gets results. There is no other attorney in this valley that I would recommend to anyone. He fights for his clients right, vigorously, and always comes out on top. He's well respected by all staff, judges, and prosecutors at the courthouse. He is personal, while still maintaining a very professional client/attorney relationship, and is willing to be there for the less fortunate. An exceptional attorney. Choose this man, and you won't regret your choice for a second. Thank you Mr. Melton for showing the folks around here there are still people that want to help the "Criminals" in the valley.

07-11-2017 To Andrew Melton In my opinion an Attorney Extraordinaire ! It has been my pleasure to watch him excel in the court room setting.

Such dedication to his clients is remarkable. Sincerely Linda Parks Wenatchee WA

He worked tirelessly, above and beyond, to reach not only a great outcome, but a just outcome. In my case, a resolution was reached in which I was able to look the Court in the eye without resignation and take responsibility for my gross misdemeanor offense. Three felony charges and another gross misdemeanor charge were dismissed because Mr. Melton got to the truth, through the myriad of details, and demonstrated this to the state so that his client got the outcome they deserved. He saved me from disaster, from injustice, and he may have saved my life. His work was truly exemplary. When you need help, when you need the best, you NEED the services of Mr. Melton.

In poor judgement, I hunted deer without a license not thinking that I was going to even see a buck. I did in fact see a buck, decided to take the shot, and killed it. I have never seen a game warden in my lifetime, and as bad luck would have it, as I was dragging the deer towards my truck, a game warden drove up. Busted. The game warden wrote up the citations, but did not specifically call them out, but instead would allow the prosecuting attorney to decide how to cite them. In aggregate, they could have put me in jail for 365 days, up to a $10,000 fine, and a gross misdemeanor on my record. I contacted Mr. Melton and he immediately he claimed that hunting infractions were his expertise, that I shouldn’t be worried, and that he would get a reduced sentence. He was very kind and friendly, knew the law, and knew the hunting industry. Instead of waiting for the prosecuting attorney to charge me with the four citations and then negotiate the charges down, Mr. Melton proactively negotiated with the prosecuting attorney before he formally filed charges against me, resulting in me being charged with only one of four counts, a gross misdemeanor for illegal hunting of big game. No jail time. Two years hunting probation. Fine of $2500. Before the trial, Mr. Melton advised his approach on his strategy. He would indirectly try and get the judge to defer the sentence once my probationary time had been served. The challenge was that Mr. Melton could not overtly ask the judge for it because there was already an agreement in place with the prosecuting attorney and the prosecuting attorney could revoke the agreement. At the trial, the judge accepted the prosecuting attorney’s charges. I was granted an opportunity to state anything I wanted to say. I acknowledged that I made a serious mistake in judgement, was a professional, no prior criminal history, father, and in good standing in the community. I asked that given my circumstances, that judge would consider derring my sentence once my probationary period was up. He grated that. Without the coaching by Mr. Melton, I would have no known that was even an option or something I could ask for at the time of trial. In the end, I was very fortunate at the outcome. After two years of probation, the sentence will be dropped and the only consequence for me is a hard lesson learned, two years probation from hunting, and a fine of $2500. It could have been a lot worse. I am very grateful for the legal acumen of Mr. Melton, his network within the hunting industry, and his tenacity, strategy, insight, and friendliness.

Great guy. 10/10 should hire this man to help beat your case. He went out of his way to meet with me amidst the pandemic, and was very professional. Thank you, for all you did for me Andrew!

Great job representing me and working in my defense, resulted in my case being dismissed.

What can I say, Mr. Melton is, and always has been since I met him in my first case as a Public Defender, a friend. He puts every second of time you could ask for into all of his clients. Answers your calls, which is something I have experienced to not be the norm. Through every bit of trouble I have got myself into as a young man, he's been there, always ask intelligent questions and gets results. There is no other attorney in this valley that I would recommend to anyone. He fights for his clients right, vigorously, and always comes out on top. He's well respected by all staff, judges, and prosecutors at the courthouse. He is personal, while still maintaining a very professional client/attorney relationship, and is willing to be there for the less fortunate. An exceptional attorney. Choose this man, and you won't regret your choice for a second. Thank you Mr. Melton for showing the folks around here there are still people that want to help the "Criminals" in the valley.

07-11-2017 To Andrew Melton In my opinion an Attorney Extraordinaire ! It has been my pleasure to watch him excel in the court room setting. I have also been lucky enough to have him represent me in the only crime I have ever committed. At 68 years of age ,I had no idea that what I accidentally had happen was a crime !and thank gosh Andrew Melton was able to step in and help me. He is above and beyond any other attorney in knowledge, attention to detail, and intense passion for his clients, and the law. He runs between court rooms tirelessly keeping up with cases!! Such dedication to his clients is remarkable. Sincerely Linda Parks Wenatchee WA

Andrew is a attorney who is new to the valley. I believe he is one to watch he goes above and beyond for his clients. He is very knowledgeable and he is not reluctant to go the extra mile. He exceeded my expectations for what I payed for I would definitely use him again. You won't be sorry if you choose him.

Andrew Melton launched an aggressive, vigorous defense on my behalf, and successfully proved my innocence. He is professional, smart, and charming. I will recommended him to anyone who needs the best.

Kept me up to date with everything went out of his way to help when he didnt have to. Always returned my calls as soon as possible. He did alot for the amount i payed.

Although a young man, has very good knowledge and has an excellent personality. Did a good job getting my case dropped. Highly recommend..

You deserve a good attorney, but you NEED this attorney. Even if charges brought against you for alleged violations of the law are hyperbolic, wildly mischaracterized, bloated, or even objectively false, this may be the scariest event of your life. Even if you know what you did, what you certainly did not do, and know your actions and decisions were wrought from moments of weakness with the best of intentions, this may be the scariest event of your life. Your freedom, your livelihood, reputation, future, friends, and even family can all be at stake. This can be a torrent of physical, mental, and existential crises. Mr. Melton can help guide you. The law is written to protect our society and way of life. Punishment should be dealt out in accordance with the degree of violation of socially accepted norms; this is the basic tenant of a just system of law, our system of law. Unfortunately, there can be times when charges brought are based upon subjective and mischaracterized accounts with, at the very most, highly questionable and circumstantial evidence. Charges and potential punishment can far exceed the intents of a just system. In these situations, details matter. A skilled attorney working for YOU matters. Despite doing their best at a difficult, almost impossible job, law enforcement can be inadequate in exploring these details. You have the fundamental right to remain silent for a good reason. The state and prosecution are very powerful, much more powerful than you. Overworked and under supported public defenders, less skilled attorneys, or those without the personal touch and diehard dedication to justice may not be enough to provide you with fair and just representation. I witnessed this first hand throughout the horrible crucible I had to endure. I learned about the system of law and justice and was able to stay grounded and ultimately reach justice after hiring Mr. Melton. I did not understand how the word 'felony' could even be possible; terrifying, unjust, unfair, impossible. I thought my life was over until Mr. Melton took the time to consult with me and hear my story. He took the time to get to know me and listened to the details. The details mattered to him. This was a hard, complicated, heartbreaking story tainted and twisted by a broken relationship, love, anger, resentment, and addiction. This was a hard case for any attorney, but Mr. Melton took it in stride. He provided a rock solid, objective, even calculated viewpoint when necessary and a level of friendly, approachable support crucial to the process of finding justice for his client.

The challenge was that Mr. Melton could not overtly ask the judge for it because there was already an agreement in place with the prosecuting attorney and the prosecuting attorney could revoke the agreement. At the trial, the judge accepted the prosecuting attorney’s charges. I was granted an opportunity to state anything I wanted to say. I acknowledged that I made a serious mistake in judgement, was a professional, no prior criminal history, father, and in good standing in the community. I asked that given my circumstances, that judge would consider derring my sentence once my probationary period was up. He grated that. Without the coaching by Mr. Melton, I would have no known that was even an option or something I could ask for at the time of trial. In the end, I was very fortunate at the outcome. After two years of probation, the sentence will be dropped and the only consequence for me is a hard lesson learned, two years probation from hunting, and a fine of $2500. It could have been a lot worse. I am very grateful for the legal acumen of Mr. Melton, his network within the hunting industry, and his tenacity, strategy, insight, and friendliness.

Great guy. 10/10 should hire this man to help beat your case. He went out of his way to meet with me amidst the pandemic, and was very professional. Thank you, for all you did for me Andrew!

Great job representing me and working in my defense, resulted in my case being dismissed.

What can I say, Mr. Melton is, and always has been since I met him in my first case as a Public Defender, a friend. He puts every second of time you could ask for into all of his clients. Answers your calls, which is something I have experienced to not be the norm. Through every bit of trouble I have got myself into as a young man, he's been there, always ask intelligent questions and gets results. There is no other attorney in this valley that I would recommend to anyone. He fights for his clients right, vigorously, and always comes out on top. He's well respected by all staff, judges, and prosecutors at the courthouse. He is personal, while still maintaining a very professional client/attorney relationship, and is willing to be there for the less fortunate. An exceptional attorney. Choose this man, and you won't regret your choice for a second. Thank you Mr. Melton for showing the folks around here there are still people that want to help the "Criminals" in the valley.

07-11-2017 To Andrew Melton In my opinion an Attorney Extraordinaire ! It has been my pleasure to watch him excel in the court room setting. I have also been lucky enough to have him represent me in the only crime I have ever committed. At 68 years of age ,I had no idea that what I accidentally had happen was a crime !and thank gosh Andrew Melton was able to step in and help me. He is above and beyond any other attorney in knowledge, attention to detail, and intense passion for his clients, and the law. He runs between court rooms tirelessly keeping up with cases!! Such dedication to his clients is remarkable. Sincerely Linda Parks Wenatchee WA

Andrew is a attorney who is new to the valley. I believe he is one to watch he goes above and beyond for his clients. He is very knowledgeable and he is not reluctant to go the extra mile. He exceeded my expectations for what I payed for I would definitely use him again. You won't be sorry if you choose him.

Andrew Melton launched an aggressive, vigorous defense on my behalf, and successfully proved my innocence. He is professional, smart, and charming. I will recommended him to anyone who needs the best.

Kept me up to date with everything went out of his way to help when he didnt have to. Always returned my calls as soon as possible. He did alot for the amount i payed.

Although a young man, has very good knowledge and has an excellent personality. Did a good job getting my case dropped. Highly recommend..

You deserve a good attorney, but you NEED this attorney. Even if charges brought against you for alleged violations of the law are hyperbolic, wildly mischaracterized, bloated, or even objectively false, this may be the scariest event of your life. Even if you know what you did, what you certainly did not do, and know your actions and decisions were wrought from moments of weakness with the best of intentions, this may be the scariest event of your life. Your freedom, your livelihood, reputation, future, friends, and even family can all be at stake. This can be a torrent of physical, mental, and existential crises. Mr. Melton can help guide you. The law is written to protect our society and way of life. Punishment should be dealt out in accordance with the degree of violation of socially accepted norms; this is the basic tenant of a just system of law, our system of law. Unfortunately, there can be times when charges brought are based upon subjective and mischaracterized accounts with, at the very most, highly questionable and circumstantial evidence. Charges and potential punishment can far exceed the intents of a just system. In these situations, details matter. A skilled attorney working for YOU matters. Despite doing their best at a difficult, almost impossible job, law enforcement can be inadequate in exploring these details. You have the fundamental right to remain silent for a good reason. The state and prosecution are very powerful, much more powerful than you. Overworked and under supported public defenders, less skilled attorneys, or those without the personal touch and diehard dedication to justice may not be enough to provide you with fair and just representation. I witnessed this first hand throughout the horrible crucible I had to endure. I learned about the system of law and justice and was able to stay grounded and ultimately reach justice after hiring Mr. Melton. I did not understand how the word 'felony' could even be possible; terrifying, unjust, unfair, impossible. I thought my life was over until Mr. Melton took the time to consult with me and hear my story. He took the time to get to know me and listened to the details. The details mattered to him. This was a hard, complicated, heartbreaking story tainted and twisted by a broken relationship, love, anger, resentment, and addiction. This was a hard case for any attorney, but Mr. Melton took it in stride. He provided a rock solid, objective, even calculated viewpoint when necessary and a level of friendly, approachable support crucial to the process of finding justice for his client. He worked tirelessly, above and beyond, to reach not only a great outcome, but a just outcome. In my case, a resolution was reached in which I was able to look the Court in the eye without resignation and take responsibility for my gross misdemeanor offense. Three felony charges and another gross misdemeanor charge were dismissed because Mr. Melton got to the truth, through the myriad of details, and demonstrated this to the state so that his client got the outcome they deserved. He saved me from disaster, from injustice, and he may have saved my life. His work was truly exemplary. When you need help, when you need the best, you NEED the services of Mr. Melton.

In poor judgement, I hunted deer without a license not thinking that I was going to even see a buck. I did in fact see a buck, decided to take the shot, and killed it. I have never seen a game warden in my lifetime, and as bad luck would have it, as I was dragging the deer towards my truck, a game warden drove up. Busted. The game warden wrote up the citations, but did not specifically call them out, but instead would allow the prosecuting attorney to decide how to cite them. In aggregate, they could have put me in jail for 365 days, up to a $10,000 fine, and a gross misdemeanor on my record. I contacted Mr. Melton and he immediately he claimed that hunting infractions were his expertise, that I shouldn’t be worried, and that he would get a reduced sentence. He was very kind and friendly, knew the law, and knew the hunting industry. Instead of waiting for the prosecuting attorney to charge me with the four citations and then negotiate the charges down, Mr. Melton proactively negotiated with the prosecuting attorney before he formally filed charges against me, resulting in me being charged with only one of four counts, a gross misdemeanor for illegal hunting of big game. No jail time. Two years hunting probation. Fine of $2500. Before the trial, Mr. Melton advised his approach on his strategy. He would indirectly try and get the judge to defer the sentence once my probationary time had been served.

He is personal, while still maintaining a very professional client/attorney relationship, and is willing to be there for the less fortunate. An exceptional attorney. Choose this man, and you won't regret your choice for a second. Thank you Mr. Melton for showing the folks around here there are still people that want to help the "Criminals" in the valley.

07-11-2017 To Andrew Melton In my opinion an Attorney Extraordinaire ! It has been my pleasure to watch him excel in the court room setting. I have also been lucky enough to have him represent me in the only crime I have ever committed. At 68 years of age ,I had no idea that what I accidentally had happen was a crime !and thank gosh Andrew Melton was able to step in and help me. He is above and beyond any other attorney in knowledge, attention to detail, and intense passion for his clients, and the law. He runs between court rooms tirelessly keeping up with cases!! Such dedication to his clients is remarkable. Sincerely Linda Parks Wenatchee WA

Andrew is a attorney who is new to the valley. I believe he is one to watch he goes above and beyond for his clients. He is very knowledgeable and he is not reluctant to go the extra mile. He exceeded my expectations for what I payed for I would definitely use him again. You won't be sorry if you choose him.

Andrew Melton launched an aggressive, vigorous defense on my behalf, and successfully proved my innocence. He is professional, smart, and charming. I will recommended him to anyone who needs the best.

Kept me up to date with everything went out of his way to help when he didnt have to. Always returned my calls as soon as possible. He did alot for the amount i payed.

Although a young man, has very good knowledge and has an excellent personality. Did a good job getting my case dropped. Highly recommend..

You deserve a good attorney, but you NEED this attorney. Even if charges brought against you for alleged violations of the law are hyperbolic, wildly mischaracterized, bloated, or even objectively false, this may be the scariest event of your life. Even if you know what you did, what you certainly did not do, and know your actions and decisions were wrought from moments of weakness with the best of intentions, this may be the scariest event of your life. Your freedom, your livelihood, reputation, future, friends, and even family can all be at stake. This can be a torrent of physical, mental, and existential crises. Mr. Melton can help guide you. The law is written to protect our society and way of life. Punishment should be dealt out in accordance with the degree of violation of socially accepted norms; this is the basic tenant of a just system of law, our system of law. Unfortunately, there can be times when charges brought are based upon subjective and mischaracterized accounts with, at the very most, highly questionable and circumstantial evidence. Charges and potential punishment can far exceed the intents of a just system. In these situations, details matter. A skilled attorney working for YOU matters. Despite doing their best at a difficult, almost impossible job, law enforcement can be inadequate in exploring these details. You have the fundamental right to remain silent for a good reason. The state and prosecution are very powerful, much more powerful than you. Overworked and under supported public defenders, less skilled attorneys, or those without the personal touch and diehard dedication to justice may not be enough to provide you with fair and just representation. I witnessed this first hand throughout the horrible crucible I had to endure. I learned about the system of law and justice and was able to stay grounded and ultimately reach justice after hiring Mr. Melton. I did not understand how the word 'felony' could even be possible; terrifying, unjust, unfair, impossible. I thought my life was over until Mr. Melton took the time to consult with me and hear my story. He took the time to get to know me and listened to the details. The details mattered to him. This was a hard, complicated, heartbreaking story tainted and twisted by a broken relationship, love, anger, resentment, and addiction. This was a hard case for any attorney, but Mr. Melton took it in stride. He provided a rock solid, objective, even calculated viewpoint when necessary and a level of friendly, approachable support crucial to the process of finding justice for his client. He worked tirelessly, above and beyond, to reach not only a great outcome, but a just outcome. In my case, a resolution was reached in which I was able to look the Court in the eye without resignation and take responsibility for my gross misdemeanor offense. Three felony charges and another gross misdemeanor charge were dismissed because Mr. Melton got to the truth, through the myriad of details, and demonstrated this to the state so that his client got the outcome they deserved. He saved me from disaster, from injustice, and he may have saved my life. His work was truly exemplary. When you need help, when you need the best, you NEED the services of Mr. Melton.

In poor judgement, I hunted deer without a license not thinking that I was going to even see a buck. I did in fact see a buck, decided to take the shot, and killed it. I have never seen a game warden in my lifetime, and as bad luck would have it, as I was dragging the deer towards my truck, a game warden drove up. Busted. The game warden wrote up the citations, but did not specifically call them out, but instead would allow the prosecuting attorney to decide how to cite them. In aggregate, they could have put me in jail for 365 days, up to a $10,000 fine, and a gross misdemeanor on my record. I contacted Mr. Melton and he immediately he claimed that hunting infractions were his expertise, that I shouldn’t be worried, and that he would get a reduced sentence. He was very kind and friendly, knew the law, and knew the hunting industry. Instead of waiting for the prosecuting attorney to charge me with the four citations and then negotiate the charges down, Mr. Melton proactively negotiated with the prosecuting attorney before he formally filed charges against me, resulting in me being charged with only one of four counts, a gross misdemeanor for illegal hunting of big game. No jail time. Two years hunting probation. Fine of $2500. Before the trial, Mr. Melton advised his approach on his strategy. He would indirectly try and get the judge to defer the sentence once my probationary time had been served. The challenge was that Mr. Melton could not overtly ask the judge for it because there was already an agreement in place with the prosecuting attorney and the prosecuting attorney could revoke the agreement. At the trial, the judge accepted the prosecuting attorney’s charges. I was granted an opportunity to state anything I wanted to say. I acknowledged that I made a serious mistake in judgement, was a professional, no prior criminal history, father, and in good standing in the community. I asked that given my circumstances, that judge would consider derring my sentence once my probationary period was up. He grated that. Without the coaching by Mr. Melton, I would have no known that was even an option or something I could ask for at the time of trial. In the end, I was very fortunate at the outcome. After two years of probation, the sentence will be dropped and the only consequence for me is a hard lesson learned, two years probation from hunting, and a fine of $2500. It could have been a lot worse. I am very grateful for the legal acumen of Mr. Melton, his network within the hunting industry, and his tenacity, strategy, insight, and friendliness.

Great guy. 10/10 should hire this man to help beat your case. He went out of his way to meet with me amidst the pandemic, and was very professional. Thank you, for all you did for me Andrew!

Great job representing me and working in my defense, resulted in my case being dismissed.

What can I say, Mr. Melton is, and always has been since I met him in my first case as a Public Defender, a friend. He puts every second of time you could ask for into all of his clients. Answers your calls, which is something I have experienced to not be the norm. Through every bit of trouble I have got myself into as a young man, he's been there, always ask intelligent questions and gets results. There is no other attorney in this valley that I would recommend to anyone. He fights for his clients right, vigorously, and always comes out on top.

Even if you know what you did, what you certainly did not do, and know your actions and decisions were wrought from moments of weakness with the best of intentions, this may be the scariest event of your life. Your freedom, your livelihood, reputation, future, friends, and even family can all be at stake. This can be a torrent of physical, mental, and existential crises. Mr. Melton can help guide you. The law is written to protect our society and way of life. Punishment should be dealt out in accordance with the degree of violation of socially accepted norms; this is the basic tenant of a just system of law, our system of law. Unfortunately, there can be times when charges brought are based upon subjective and mischaracterized accounts with, at the very most, highly questionable and circumstantial evidence. Charges and potential punishment can far exceed the intents of a just system. In these situations, details matter. A skilled attorney working for YOU matters. Despite doing their best at a difficult, almost impossible job, law enforcement can be inadequate in exploring these details. You have the fundamental right to remain silent for a good reason. The state and prosecution are very powerful, much more powerful than you. Overworked and under supported public defenders, less skilled attorneys, or those without the personal touch and diehard dedication to justice may not be enough to provide you with fair and just representation. I witnessed this first hand throughout the horrible crucible I had to endure. I learned about the system of law and justice and was able to stay grounded and ultimately reach justice after hiring Mr. Melton. I did not understand how the word 'felony' could even be possible; terrifying, unjust, unfair, impossible. I thought my life was over until Mr. Melton took the time to consult with me and hear my story. He took the time to get to know me and listened to the details. The details mattered to him. This was a hard, complicated, heartbreaking story tainted and twisted by a broken relationship, love, anger, resentment, and addiction. This was a hard case for any attorney, but Mr. Melton took it in stride. He provided a rock solid, objective, even calculated viewpoint when necessary and a level of friendly, approachable support crucial to the process of finding justice for his client. He worked tirelessly, above and beyond, to reach not only a great outcome, but a just outcome. In my case, a resolution was reached in which I was able to look the Court in the eye without resignation and take responsibility for my gross misdemeanor offense. Three felony charges and another gross misdemeanor charge were dismissed because Mr. Melton got to the truth, through the myriad of details, and demonstrated this to the state so that his client got the outcome they deserved. He saved me from disaster, from injustice, and he may have saved my life. His work was truly exemplary. When you need help, when you need the best, you NEED the services of Mr. Melton.

In poor judgement, I hunted deer without a license not thinking that I was going to even see a buck. I did in fact see a buck, decided to take the shot, and killed it. I have never seen a game warden in my lifetime, and as bad luck would have it, as I was dragging the deer towards my truck, a game warden drove up. Busted. The game warden wrote up the citations, but did not specifically call them out, but instead would allow the prosecuting attorney to decide how to cite them. In aggregate, they could have put me in jail for 365 days, up to a $10,000 fine, and a gross misdemeanor on my record. I contacted Mr. Melton and he immediately he claimed that hunting infractions were his expertise, that I shouldn’t be worried, and that he would get a reduced sentence. He was very kind and friendly, knew the law, and knew the hunting industry. Instead of waiting for the prosecuting attorney to charge me with the four citations and then negotiate the charges down, Mr. Melton proactively negotiated with the prosecuting attorney before he formally filed charges against me, resulting in me being charged with only one of four counts, a gross misdemeanor for illegal hunting of big game. No jail time. Two years hunting probation. Fine of $2500. Before the trial, Mr. Melton advised his approach on his strategy. He would indirectly try and get the judge to defer the sentence once my probationary time had been served. The challenge was that Mr. Melton could not overtly ask the judge for it because there was already an agreement in place with the prosecuting attorney and the prosecuting attorney could revoke the agreement. At the trial, the judge accepted the prosecuting attorney’s charges. I was granted an opportunity to state anything I wanted to say. I acknowledged that I made a serious mistake in judgement, was a professional, no prior criminal history, father, and in good standing in the community. I asked that given my circumstances, that judge would consider derring my sentence once my probationary period was up. He grated that. Without the coaching by Mr. Melton, I would have no known that was even an option or something I could ask for at the time of trial. In the end, I was very fortunate at the outcome. After two years of probation, the sentence will be dropped and the only consequence for me is a hard lesson learned, two years probation from hunting, and a fine of $2500. It could have been a lot worse. I am very grateful for the legal acumen of Mr. Melton, his network within the hunting industry, and his tenacity, strategy, insight, and friendliness.

Great guy. 10/10 should hire this man to help beat your case. He went out of his way to meet with me amidst the pandemic, and was very professional. Thank you, for all you did for me Andrew!

Great job representing me and working in my defense, resulted in my case being dismissed.

What can I say, Mr. Melton is, and always has been since I met him in my first case as a Public Defender, a friend. He puts every second of time you could ask for into all of his clients. Answers your calls, which is something I have experienced to not be the norm. Through every bit of trouble I have got myself into as a young man, he's been there, always ask intelligent questions and gets results. There is no other attorney in this valley that I would recommend to anyone. He fights for his clients right, vigorously, and always comes out on top. He's well respected by all staff, judges, and prosecutors at the courthouse. He is personal, while still maintaining a very professional client/attorney relationship, and is willing to be there for the less fortunate. An exceptional attorney. Choose this man, and you won't regret your choice for a second. Thank you Mr. Melton for showing the folks around here there are still people that want to help the "Criminals" in the valley.

07-11-2017 To Andrew Melton In my opinion an Attorney Extraordinaire ! It has been my pleasure to watch him excel in the court room setting. I have also been lucky enough to have him represent me in the only crime I have ever committed. At 68 years of age ,I had no idea that what I accidentally had happen was a crime !and thank gosh Andrew Melton was able to step in and help me. He is above and beyond any other attorney in knowledge, attention to detail, and intense passion for his clients, and the law. He runs between court rooms tirelessly keeping up with cases!! Such dedication to his clients is remarkable. Sincerely Linda Parks Wenatchee WA

Andrew Melton launched an aggressive, vigorous defense on my behalf, and successfully proved my innocence. He is professional, smart, and charming. I will recommended him to anyone who needs the best.
