Melissa is by far the best lawyer I’ve acquired she has a clear understanding on how to get the best results for her clients. She has the ability to create agreements and contracts that leads to steady and fair agreements. I was in a custody battle and won and I will say I fear the worst, but having Melissa and her firm represent me put my anxieties at rest because I knew I was in good hands. Her firm is very thorough and professional and believe me when I say they will be my lawyers going forward.
Melissa has shown her true calling in working with my most difficult case. A consummate professional with the long term well being for my family always in mind. I can't say enough to have her talent and her firms resources at my side. Thank you!
Melissa worked tirelessly with me in a custody case to get the best outcome. She was always prompt with her responses and took time to make sure that we were always on the same page and in agreement before proceeding. She was very compassionate and understanding during this difficult time. She made sure that I was always updated and she always stayed two steps ahead. She was extremely knowledgeable about the processes and differences in the juvenile court versus standard domestic relations law. Melissa really cares about her clients and their outcomes. I highly recommend Melissa's representation.
Besides being an excellent attorney, Melissa is also a genuine person. She was very consoling to my divorce/situation and extremely knowledgeable and strategic in representing me. Melissa took what I believed to be a hopeless situation and delivered results above and beyond my expectations. Because of Melissa's expertise, my children and I are able to live a fulfilling life together. I am so thankful to have her as my attorney and I highly recommend her.
I had contacted and interviewed several law firms before sitting down and talking to Melissa Millard. Her expertise in the intricacies of a divorce after 42 years of marriage and her willingness to listen and advise were instrumental in why I chose Ms. Millard. I was looking for a lawyer who would give the best legal advice, who would respond to my emails in a very timely manner, who would listen and consider my requests and who would do her best for me. And I found that and more in Melissa Millard.
Melissa was very thorough through the entire legal process. She handled my case with the utmost care and respect, despite many obstacles. I admire her kindness and passion for families and children. I wish her all the best in her career, and look forward to see where her passion leads her!
I'm very happy I hired Melissa for my case. She helped me with a visitation case. She listened to what I wanted, and stuck with it. Easy to contact, and makes sure you understand what's happening. She's realistic, thorough, and willing to go the extra mile to get what you want. I would recommend her to any of my friends or family who need legal counsel.
