my wife and I are currently in a custody case for our granddaughter. We hired Melinda in January of 2018. We had been to see other Laywers in the area and after spending thousands to get nowhere we hired Melinda and her team. They are all top notch Melinda has assembled a team that do their very best, they give us sound advice and a fresh perspective.. they work hard for us and through her we received emergency custody of our granddaughter. They say that everything happens for a reason and the road we traveled to get to her was worth it. Melinda and her staff is an answer to months of prayer. We are very confident in her ability to continually present a valid case for us and bring us a favorable outcome.. we can not recommend her highly enough. 5 stars is not enough she would rate a 12. She and her staff are not just our attorney but feel like family. May God continually bless you and your staff.

Melinda Silk is an outstanding attorney . She has stood by my side and fought for myself and my son for years now . Her Demeanor in court speaks volumes of her professionalism and caring for her clients . Ms Silk and her legal team are at the top of their profession . Defiantly among the very best ! You couldn't ask for a better attorney to be standing next to you .

I was referred to Mrs. Silk by a close friend and after my original consultation I immediately retained her services for my custody and relocation case. She is extremely attentive and forward thinking and both she and her staff did a fantastic job of guiding me through the preparation process. We were very well prepared and she helped me get ready for the trial through education and logic. The time we spent together in preparation for the hearing not only gave me the knowledge necessary but also instilled a level of confidence in me about our case. In such a gut-wrenching experience, it was a real pleasure to work with such a professional attorney that really cared more about the outcome of my case than the hours billed. I would highly recommend Melinda for any family law issue.
