Oh I don’t even know where to start with Melissa. She is such a great attorney! She is very knowledgeable. She fought for me. She was able to get my ex to settle literally 5 mins before trial began. I got 98% of what I asked for. She, not only was my attorney but also my therapist the night before trial. I was on the phone crying and panicking. She calmed me down and made sure to tell me that everything was going to be Oka, mind you this was at around 6:30pm ( after business hours). She was driving home. I, then texted her at 5AM and she responded back. She was upfront with about the cost of everything. She was also honest with me and told me if I was being unreasonable, but if I was adamant about something she fought like hell to make it happen. She pretty much held my hand through out this whole custody battle. It took 2 years for us to finally go to trial and she was able to get me 98% of everything I wanted. I don’t know how I will ever repay her. Melissa will NEVER truly know how thankful I am for her. She made me feel comfortable and took me serious. Anyone who hires melissa as an attorney is truly lucky! If you decide to hire her as an attorney, I promise you will be in great hands and you won’t regret it. Thank you Melissa for everything you’ve done for my daughter and I.

Melissa was fantastic to work with, she always put my best interest first and was honest with me. Sometimes things don't turn out the way we want, or even think they should go, but Melissa managed these situations very well and always was forthcoming no matter what came up. In the end, Melissa got what was best for my daughter and won my case. I feel that I was represented to the fullest of her (or any attorney for that matter) ability and will call Melissa first should the need ever arise. If you are looking for a family law attorney, make sure you schedule time to speak with Melissa before making a decision. Thanks for everything Melissa.

Melissa always responded to our questions or concerns in a timely fashion. She was very sensitive to our feelings and did what was within her power to help us with our situation. She went above and beyond to explain and guide us through the various processes that had to be taken in order for us to be able to see our children. She got us thru some very trying and difficult times. Should I ever find myself or a family member in a legal situation again, I will not hesitate to go back to her. She represented us in a professional and reliable fashion and in the end she got our case resolved in our favor. I would refer her to friends, family and strangers without thinking twice about it. Thank you Melissa, you are the best!!

My divorce was very stressful for me but this attorney seemed knowledgeable and an able advocate for my case. She was quite accessible to me either by phone or text. I felt she had my best interests in mind whether it be my mental health or my financial one.

I spent 5000$ for her to fight my dhs case and 10,000$ to go to treatment, she did 2 court appearances and didn’t say anything , and on the 3rd court appearance she filed to be removed from the case, I’m actually trying to report her so if someone could give me the bar to her that would be very much appreciated
