My first consultation lasted an hour and a half and Melissa left no stone unturned! While she's super easy to talk to, like a friend, you'll find yourself in excellent hands and receiving professional advice. I can't recommend her enough, best lawyer I've ever worked with!!
I live in Louisiana and found myself tasked with finding a Nevada attorney after my husband moved there and subsequently filed for divorce. I was TERRIFIED and CLUELESS, with no idea where to begin and knew no one versed in Nevada civil law! Discouraged after many hours of research followed by days of disappointing phone calls, just by chance, I ended up speaking with Melissa Barry and everything changed! She patiently answered all of my questions and addressed every concern with her vast knowledge but also with compassion and understanding. So it began. The entire process took a little over 7 months and was not an easy one for me, as I had no support system whatsoever back here in the swamps of Great State of Louisiana! I regularly inundated Melissa Barry and the At Ease Law Firm with worried emails, random questions and.phone calls, all if which they took in stride and with grace. In the end, I realized my worry was not helpful or necessary in the least as everything did indeed turn out well really better than I'd hoped for. I'm eternally grateful to Melissa Barry and the At Ease Law Firm for taking the scary right out of something so frightful and giving me great peace in the end!✌️
Lets just say if you do not hire Melissa to represent you in family court than you are making a mistake. Melissa is not a materialistic attorney her main concern is the well-being of your child and its not about whats best for her as an attonery its about what best for her clients children and god she was their for me, every single step of the way. My case even considering how dificult it was and how much anxiety i had throughout my case. Melissa held her ground with me and she helped me become stronger, smarter, and a more determined parent than i ever hoped to become. It was like she knew exactly what i needed to accomplish and she did it with her educational insights along the way. Shes the best attorney in las vegas. She gave me my life back with my child! I can't even stress enough how lucky I am to of found and hired her. She kept my daughter in her heart throughout my whole case. I am so grateful Melissa!! You should be the number 1 family attorney in Las Vegas you deserve that recognition! And Ashley you rock!!! I can't begin to thank you enough for answering my calls and listening to my issues you are so fantastic Melissa made the best decision selecting you!
Melissa represented me in a child custody case that went to trial and we got the outcome we were hoping for! She was so compassionate in that stressful time and helped build my confidence in seeking the right thing for my child. She really kicked butt in the court room as well, showcasing her knowledge and professionalism. All around awesome lawyer!
Received a moving violation ticket out of state. When looking for legal help, nobody would respond. It was frustrating because I didn't want points on my record. That's when I found Melissa & she took the case right away. She was very helpful and gave me peace of mind that she would do everything possible to lessen the ticket. She got this settled in less than a month. If you are looking for someone to help you, Melissa Barry is the one to choose. Do not look anywhere else or you'll be wasting your time. Let Melissa Barry represent you. Only paid $98 for the ticket (which was lessened to a parking ticket).
Melissa is a very professional lawyer that actually cares about her clients. She is very intelligent and helped reduce my ticket to an "illegal parking" ticket. She knows the law and helped me navigate through my best options and calmed me down during a stressful time.
Mellisa represented my son and is doing a superb job. She is very good at what she does

Melissa is beyond wonderful when it came to my case. At one point I had hit a bump in the road during my time in Veterans Treatment court but she handled it quickly and efficiently. I never thought that I would build a great and trusting relationship with Melissa throughout the process but she really pushed for the best outcome for me. I highly recommend Melissa because she really did help me through the whole process and actually made me get back onto my feet again so i could truly make a change in my personal life.
Melissa Barry was hands down the BEST attorney that I could’ve asked for. She went above and beyond to make sure I had an opportunity to turn my life around. Very reliable and supportive. I am forever grateful for this law firm!
