I have worked on and off with Melanie for years now. She helped me navigate my way through a divorce in 2012 with professionalism. She is very knowledgeable about family and custody laws. She always kept me informed and made me aware of everything I needed to know to get to the process successfully. She did all this in a timely manner. Recently, she helped me gain the rights to my children. I would recommend Melanie to anyone who is going through a divorce or has a custody matter. She has helped me through both and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to stand up for me. I will absolutely use her again if needed. She’s knowledgeable, professional and also makes sure she is aware of exactly what you need and want and will do all she can to make it happen for you. Best lawyer, hands down! Very pleased.
Really great attorney, I really appreciated how Melanie helped me through my child custody case. Having a few different lawyers and, going through multiple cases. Im glad I was referenced to Melanie from a very good friend. I knew from the start our feel out meeting that she was the right attorney for me. She definitely made me feel comfortable through my whole case, their was never a point in my case where I wasn't in the know with what was going in my case, I never felt out of the loop, I never felt like she was playing both sides. She was very organized, comprising with her answers and knowledgeable whenever I felt the need to ask questions. She was also very guided and open to talking about things which personally I felt a level comfort. Some attorneys are one out to just get your money, some really don't care about the task at hand or get the big picture overall looking further down the road. Truthfully speaking Melanie did a great job in my case really helping me understand the big picture for further down the line and, really breaking it down in our personal conversations. I really appreciated the fact that she was very responsive with sending back and forth emails, and if I needed to call or schedule a call with her she would always do her best to set a time to make it work. Overall really fantastic lawyer for me personally, I would definitely recommend Melanie to anyone going through a child custody case especially being a single father. She takes her job very seriously and looks out for your personal best interest, and once again does very great job of helping you see long term plans that could help you down the road also. Hiring a quality attorney is definitely worth it especially when they help you see it from both sides of things. Once again the level of communication was also expressed with caring feelings of making the right decisions for me, and my kids. I cant say enough good things about the way I was represented. Thank you for everything!
Requested an order for my son to get his passport since his Father notified stated department requesting he not receive one. Have used Melanie on all my family issues and she has efficiently took care of everything for me, would hire again.
She was very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. She looks out for her client and gives them the best advice and what to do.
Melanie did a wonderful job of helping me through a tough family law issue. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and knew precisely what to do in order to achieve the desired outcomes. If you need a great attorney, look no further.
During a difficult time in our lives and having to go through a horrible legal case, Melanie Haynes was the perfect lawyer for us! She was a great listener as we had to explain a crazy situation and a great person to aide us in legal advice and procedures! Melanie was very professional, but also had compassion and understanding for our situation that made it more comfortable! Hopefully, we won’t have to use her again in the future, but if needed we definitely will be reaching out to her again for help!
Melanie was calm and collected, smart and kind, fair but tough. She helped me keep my cool in a contentious meeting with my ex and his lawyer, at the same time as she advocated (successfully) for my children and me. Easy to get in touch with, did a wonderful job explaining what was happening and what I could expect. Somehow laid back and personable while also professional.
I hired Melanie based on a recommendation from one of her colleagues. I could not have had a better attorney! My divorce became a very long, drawn out and frankly a very ugly affair ending in a trial. Melanie was the perfect mixture of professional, confidant, and counselor throughout the entire situation. She was able to help me see the big picture and not get bogged down in the emotions. She did everything she could to keep us out of a trial but when it got to that point, I was glad I had her on my side. Melanie shines in a courtroom! I was confident in the way she prepared me, the trial outline and her performance always made sure my best interests were represented. She never missed a deadline and was very responsive. I never felt rushed and truly felt like I was her only client, even though that was far from the truth. I hope that none of my friends need her services, but if they find themselves in the position of needing a divorce attorney, there is no one else I would recommend.
Melanie was able to settle our case for much less than we initially thought but more importantly she gave us peace of mind and resolved an issue that had been ongoing over several years and had finally brought clear and final closure to it!!! Thanks so much Melanie for the peace of mind!!!!
She was great to work with! She knows her stuff and makes you feel comfortable by getting to know you as well. She was always on top of things and gets the job done! DEFINITELY WORTH IT!
