About

I am passionate about helping people with their family law problems.  I help my clients with issues of divorce, child custody, parenting time, child support, and family abuse protection orders.  As a parent myself, I understand how important these issues are to my clients.  I view my job as a compassionate guide through a complex legal system that can be difficult for non-lawyers to navigate on their own.  I try to resolve these issues as amicably as possible, although I have taken many cases to trial when it is necessary and appropriate to do so. I draw on my 19 years of experience as an attorney to find the best solution to life's challenges.

I hired Melissa Kelleigh as my representative for my divorce and then again for parent modification. Melissa is very attentive, sensitive, resourceful and organize. Melissa is the lawyer to have in a difficult moments, always looking for the best interest of her client. I strongly recommend her.

Melissa helped me through a real tough case that involved intense safety concerns for my kiddo. It was a terribly unideal set of facts where many state agencies were involved. Melissa was not my first attorney but she was my best attorney due to her skill, grace and compassion. She didn't make me feel shame that I was scared or emotional. She took risks I asked her to take and did the best with what we had to work with. Looking back I'm so grateful for that help and mostly because kiddo is healthy and safe.

Ms. Kelleigh went above and beyond to assist me in finding the right avenue to pursue justice for my very unusual situation. She was very easy to speak with; she was kind, thoughtful, and a good listener. Before she would even discuss fees, she did research on the situation I was in, and provided me with her opinion of my best avenue forward. I was able to follow everything she told me, unlike many other attorneys I had spoken with who didn't have the ability to translate legal terminology for a layman like me. Even when she determined she could not represent me because the matter fell into an area of law that is not her focus, she reached out and found several thoughtful referrals who could. Ms. Kelleigh truly is in the business of helping people.

Melissa Kelleigh successfully represented me in a disolution dispute not long ago. Her legal advice was straight forward and I highly respected the way she handled the case. If you value honestly, integrity and intelligence I highly recommend Melissa Kelleigh to represent you.
