Attorney Jeffrey Melick is an outstanding professional of utmost integrity. Attorney Melick demonstrated the breadth of his legal expertise and the depth of his exemplary character when he represented me in an extremely challenging, high-conflict family law case. Not only was he able to achieve a positive and just outcome, but he also did so with empathy, insight, diligence, and skill. He is an exceptionally knowledgeable, talented, and reliable attorney who cares deeply about his clients. My children and I are eternally grateful for Jeff's thorough and competent service. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Jeffrey Melick without hesitation or reservation.

Jeffrey represented me recently in case dealing with jurisdictional concerns spanning interstate & international concerns. He and team are exceptionally knowledgable in the law, and legal precedence. I especially impressed with their depth of knowledge of legal president cases, which was critical in this situation. Additionally what really stands out was: 1) Their approach to bring dignity and empathy to the process 2) The excellent guidance on what I needed to provide 3) Great advice on how to proceed 4) and preparation in case things did not go as hoped Jeffrey and team did an amazing job, and I highly recommend you talk with them if you find yourself in need of the best council in the Boston area.

Having hired 2 other lawyers prior to attorney Jeffrey Melick, I can tell you that he is a blessing. A friend told me about him and said that he had been in a very difficult situation and that he was able to reverse things almost completely. He has 35 years’ experience and knows the law so well. After one meeting with attorney Melick, there was no doubt that I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer. Attorney Melick was incredibly professional and kind. He holds your hand throughout the process. He will guide you from a legal standpoint and will support you as a friend through this very tough process. A father himself, he completely understands the emotions involved and what is best for the children involved. Unlike other attorneys, he knows very well that he is working for YOU. You are constantly in the loop. There will be no surprises with him. I really cannot write enough good things about him. He literally saved me. Whatever will be determined at court will affect you for the rest of your life and you have only one chance to get the best representation. Don't waste your time and money on a "good enough" lawyer. If Attorney Melick is in your corner, rest assure he will get you the best possible result. An incredibly grateful client!!!!

I hired Attorney Jeff Melick to get me child support payments that my ex-husband was not paying me. I was very stressed and feeling helpless. Jeff got me the payments quickly and efficiently. I feel relieved knowing that Attorney Melick is in my corner. He is professional, confident, and sensitive to these difficult issues. I highly recommend Attorney Jeff Melick to anyone without hesitation!

My experience with this firm was outstanding! Jeff Melick is a pure professional; an expert in family case law, in my opinion. He was steadfast in navigating me through a very tough custody case and he and team brought us to a favorable outcome. What I liked most about Jeff and his team was that throughout the process there was not only solid legal advice and strategy but also a sense of compassion. It is my pleasure to recommend Jeff and give him a five star rating.

Jeff did an excellent job of litigating my divorce case, as well as keeping me informed of what to expect at each stage of the legal process. From day one, I was confident that I was being represented by a exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced attorney. Each time I contacted Jeff I was made a priority. My calls were returned quickly, I never felt confused with the process, and did well in my settlement. I highly respect Jeff and can confidently recommend retaining his services for legal representation; for divorce and family law, mediation, or litigation.

Mr. Melick represented me in a difficult divorce against a highly aggressive attorney. He did an outstanding job, keeping me focused on the process when I became upset or impatient. His reasonable style in the face of an unreasonable opposing counsel was effective, and his recommendations on steps to take involving litigation vs. conciliation were spot on. The fact that I am a confident and experienced lawyer who practices in a different area presented Mr. Melick with challenges that he handled deftly, in terms of allowing me to participate but keeping my more emotional instincts in check. As a long-time litigator, I know quality when I see it, and I would recommend Mr. Melick to anyone in need of a family lawyer wholeheartedly and without reservation.
