I was falsely accused of civil harassment by my boyfriend's malicious ex-wife, so I hired Melinda to defend me. At the hearing my testimony and that of my accuser were almost identical; the facts of the case were undisputed. When the other side rested, Melinda simply stood, addressed the court and made a motion that the court find in my favor as a matter of law stating that my accuser had failed to prove a single element of civil harassment, and the JUDGE GRANTED HER MOTION! Here in Texas this is known as winning on a motion of summary judgment. Melinda was well-prepared, thoroughly versed in the law, efficient, succinct, wise and deadly effective. She was so professional and compassionate with me that I came to adore her. She's the kind of woman I would choose as a friend even had I not had the pleasure to work with her professionally. I was backed into a corner and she came out like a bulldog in Gucci and graciously handed Mr. Harvey and his client their asses. She's good people, y'all. Hire her. It's the right thing to do.
Melinda was and continues to be a solid and responsive lawyer. She helped me during my difficult divorce and made it as easy and simple and quick as legally and humanly possible. Her legal advice was right on the money and my needs were secured. I trust her judgement and recommendations and would highly recommend her.
Melinda helped me through the most difficult time in my life, a custody dispute. After years of being separated and having a good relationship with my ex, I suddenly found myself in need of an attorney to fight for my kids, for what they wanted, and Melinda was the perfect attorney to do that. After meeting with other attorneys, and being referred to Rombro & Manley by a friend who had a positive experience, I scheduled a consult with Melinda. During our first meeting, it was obvious she was the right choice. Not only does Melinda specialize in family law and have extensive experience, it was clear during our first meeting that Melinda was an advocate for children. From our first meeting, to numerous follow-up meetings, phone calls, court appearances, and signing final papers, Melinda was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her guidance, wisdom, and support made an extremely hard situation bearable. In addition to being a very skilled attorney, Melinda also cares about her clients, and especially about the children involved in the unpleasant process of divorce. Her team is very professional, and always prompt at returning calls and emails. I am forever grateful to Melinda and highly recommend Rombro & Manley LLP!

Melinda is experienced, extremely smart, an incredible researcher and cares deeply about you and your future.

Melinda was straightforward and down to earth. She let me know information that I did not want to hear about paying spousal support, but I needed to hear it up front. She was available, responsive and helpful. I remember asking her which side she preferred to represent, the one who filed or the one who was served with the papers. She replied, I think quite truthfully, "The one who wants out". Made sense to me. The office is tidy and welcoming and the support staff is very helpful.
