I was faced with an extremely painful and difficult legal situation after false allegations were claimed against me. Melissa and her team represented me accurately and passionately and were able to get the charges vacated/dismissed. I needed an attorney who would listen to my concerns and represent me faithfully in court. Melissa and her team did this. I am grateful for the excellent work they did in an extremely difficult time of my life.
Going through a divorce is an incredibly difficult experience. It truly rocks your work. I was so fearful and sad, but Melissa took my hand and walked through the journey with me. To be clear, you should also get a therapist, but Melissa is a wonderful advocate to have on your side. Melissa is thorough, responsive, and an excellent negotiator. I never waited longer than 24 hours to hear from her. Typically Melissa responded between 1-3 hours to my email. We faced some challenging moments during the case, but her work was really stellar. I always felt like I was in good hands. I highly recommend using Melissa as your divorce lawyer.
Working with Melissa and her team is very reassuring. They take care of everything and put you at ease in difficult times. Melissa fights very hard for her clients and is always one step ahead of the case. I highly recommend her and as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for" You are paying for quality, professional service, and peace of mind. I highly recommend Melissa and her team, they are truly amazing!
Melissa was such a wonderful and caring person to have in my corner. When I first contacted Melissa I was just reaching out for a consult and a second set of eyes on a case that was pretty much closed. Melissa was very thoughtful and gave me plenty of her time. I hired her shortly after the initial consult. While Melissa and I had a quick and pretty straightforward Child Support case, I was very nervous. Melissa walked me through everything in great detail and answered all of my questions without hesitation. I was very impressed with her on every level. I would highly recommend Melissa.
I moved to Chicago after separating from my husband in another state. Melissa helped me weigh the pros and cons of filing for divorce in Illinois, and then laid out a clear path for how to accomplish that when a petition had already been filed in another state. I could not have found a more intelligent and experienced attorney than Melissa to represent me and successfully manage the process of moving my divorce to Illinois. She was always on top of the details of my case and always watching out for my best interests. She has outstanding people skills, knows the law, works efficiently, and truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome. Melissa is the absolute BEST!!
Melissa is meticulous and determined. Her in-depth understanding of the law and her ability to explain the complexities to someone with no legal background allowed us to partner and work together to find a solution that best for me in my prenuptial agreement. If I were to ever need a divorce lawyer, without a doubt, I would look to Melissa.
Until I met Melissa Caballero. It seems like in the vastly confusing world of Family Law, there is little sense to be made and even less hope to be had by those involved. After struggling through a decade- long battle of child support that isn’t even mine to pay, I was fortunate to have Melissa represent me against my fiancé’s ex-wife, who’s certain I’m a secret millionaire and determined to maliciously dig through every detail of my life until she finds some sort of treasure. The case details are extensive and perplexing, but it never stops Melissa from digging her heels in immediately to work to protect me and my rights. This powerhouse of a woman spouts off case law like she learned it in Kindergarten, and at no time do you waste time or money explaining anything to her twice. She is assertive, well- spoken, highly astute, and resilient in face of adversity. Underneath her impressively impassioned professionalism, Melissa is warm and kind, and listens patiently to you and your side. She has a clear way of explaining things and a calming effect that leaves you reassured and confident in her advice. I’ve watched my fiancé pay exorbitant amounts of money to various disappointing examples of attorneys in past years, which left me feeling like I would find a unicorn before I found faith in our judicial system. But, I found Melissa, an “Attorneycorn” if you will LOL, and I see a light at the end of the tunnel! Although we are still pulled back into court repeatedly by the ex, my battle for fair Father’s Support Rights continues with renewed gusto towards a principled and civil outcome under Melissa’s competent guidance.
Melissa is very articulate, intelligent and strategic. Family legal issues are stressful in themselves; having a lawyer who was so highly competent, communicates clearly, and knows the law well helped us stay sane. I am a detail-oriented person, and the fact that Melissa stayed on top of our case details helped me to trust her as we were forced to respond to a crazy petition. We were thankful to have her diligently defending us even as she continued trying to negotiate an agreement with the other side to avoid the full costs of court.
Feeling hopeless in a custody case that had been dragged out for years, Melissa immediately restored my faith in the judicial system. Working with a couple of lawyers who had seemed to dig me in to a deeper hole, Melissa really had her work cut out for her. However, Melissa got to work quickly and was able to make movement in my case in a matter of months as compared to the work of the other lawyers who seemed to be going nowhere fast for the past 3 years. Melissa is very knowledgeable of the law and knew exactly what to do in order to help me and my son. Melissa executed flawlessly, she is a real fighter! Before Melissa I was unable to see my son as much as I’d like to. I can’t thank her enough or truly put in to words how amazing this woman is! I highly recommend Melissa. Not only is she on top of her game, she is also so sweet! Thank you again and again Melissa!
My experience was unique in the sense that it involved multiple states, police, investigator and other legal firms. Melissa was 'super' quick, diligent in evaluating options, and ALWAYS gave the correct advise. Melissa would patiently explain each option to me whenever I pushed back on anything. I honestly can't think of anyone better. Melissa was well aware of the laws, compassionate, patient and will be an excellent representative for anyone.
