From my initial consultation through successful mediation Melisa Medina and her staff handled my case skillfully and efficiently, providing me the best possible outcome. My case was particularly challenging as I was dealing with an ex-spouse who was determined to destroy me financially and gain full time custody of our child. In addition to being uncooperative during the divorce proceedings my ex-spouse was also attempting to use the legal system to make fraudulent false accusations against me, but Melisa exposed my ex's lies and got the case quickly back on track. My attorney Melisa used her skill, experience and instincts to navigate the many challenges with opposing counsel and his difficult client and to negotiate a great resolution for my case. Melisa and her team helped me navigate through a very stressful period in my life as they were very attentive, responsive and most of all compassionate to my situation through every step of the process. I have already referred a friend to Melisa who was in a similar situation, and he continually thanks me as his case was resolved quickly and more favorably than he expected. I would highly recommend Melisa to anyone for their family law needs.
From my first interview through mediation my attorney, Melisa Medina and her entire staff, treated me with dignity and respect. Ms. Medina’s knowledge of the law and skill as an attorney was evident throughout. I highly recommend this law practice. If you find yourself in need, hire the best! I did.
My separation/divorce dragged out for over 5 years, with a very uncooperative and selfish ex. Melisa and her team managed to draw up and ascertain the ex-wife's cooperation and signatures on the last day of the order! This is all during covid where excuses were rampant everywhere else but Melisa and her office got the job done with minimal cost, ease, and empathy. Fantastic work, especially from her paralegal Lori - highly recommend!
Melisa was retained to a relatively amicable divorce case currently pending but it may become more challenging due to an uncooperative party. Melisa has been efficient and helpful in mitigating much of the paperwork and the terms. I have no doubt she will act swiftly once the entire packet is completed and filed. Fantastic service so far!
Melisa was absolutely amazing in the way she guided me through the most difficult time in my life. Melisa was comforting, reassuring and gave such wonderful advice on a plethora of subjects which made me more relaxed and comfortable with the process of divorce. Melisa was informative and let me know what was going to happen and when it would happen and I was so well prepared and confident in what I was told that when it happened I was never surprised or panicked or had any anxiety during a time when those components could show up!! I would highly recommend Melisa for any legal advice or assistance you may need, especially in a divorce. No one wants a divorce and the stigma which is associated with it, but Melisa made a difficult and traumatic situation so much easier and better for me and I had so much faith and trust in her and the way she handled my case that when it was over I was relieved and happy and thankful for her efforts and what she did for me. I cannot imagine any attorney doing a better job than what she did for me. If you are going through a difficult situation and need the best-attorney in the world hire Melisa. John
Melisa takes safety first of your children. She sets realistic expectations but has gotten results thus far.
Melisa went above and beyond on my case. I would highly recommend Cortes and Medina. Great experience overall having her as my attorney. Melisa understands her client, very insightful and is an expert in her field. Truly a professional and wonderful individual.
Mrs. Medina was an incredible lawyer and guide during a very difficult custody battle that I went through. She was helpful, fast working, and extremely insightful. Throughout the entire process she demonstrated the highest order of integrity, professionalism and goodwill towards me. Most importantly, she helped me win more time with my child. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of legal aid or consultation.
I did not work specifically with Melissa. I worked with Jan Thakkar. However, the entire office and staff rock! Gina Helms is always ready to facilitate communication and getting things done quickly. I had a great experience!
First time I had to put on my big girl pants and take matters into my own hands...first time I needed to hire an attorney. I am so glad that a simple question to a colleague led me to Melisa. She and her staff made me feel at ease the minute I walked through the office door. Melisa listened and then laid out a plan of action that she followed through on. She and her staff were in touch with me for each step of the process and were always there for me when I had questions or concerns. When it came time to go to trial, I was in awe with how professional and thorough Melisa was. She was definitely a force to be reckoned with...and I was definitely glad that she was representing me!! I would, without hesitation, recommend Melisa Medina to my family, friends or anyone asking for an attorney to represent them.
