When Melody took over my case, it was going nowhere, the previous attorney had done nothing for months but allow opposing counsel to stall, allowing my case to become dormant, luckily that attorney left the firm. When Melody took over she immediately began filing motions, requesting documents that previously had been denied. The outcome of my case was not all I'd hoped for, but Melody made sure I was able to maximize and make the best out of a bad situation. She was always honest, forthright, and meticulous in her handling of the case. She even pushed for the firm to credit my account for work that the previous attorney had not completed. If you want integrity, honesty, and hard work, definitely hire Melody Petitt as your counsel.

Melody handled my case with care & logic. She challenged me when I was leading with emotional rather than logic, and understood when she needed to pull back. She was an excellent partner through the whole process, and I have already recommended her to others.

You don't know what you don't know. However, you do know when something is not working out. With that said, I went through a couple of attorneys before being represented by Melody Petitt with Hargrave Family Law and that made all the difference. I will start off saying that the divorce process is like a game. And the law is the rule book, which is a constant that does not change. Where the game gets interesting are the players involved, petitioner, respondent and legal team. Every case is unique, yet some attorneys approach the process as if it's all the same. However, in my case, we were dealing with a high conflict personality; and, it cannot be taken lightly. Unlike my prior attorneys, Melody jumped on my case and took the time to really understand my situation and what we were dealing with. She took the time to educate me on the law and how it applied in my situation, whether it was something I wanted to hear or not. The law is the law. She knew how to deal with the opposing party. Strategy was the key, and she was prepared for anything. She earned my trust and with that trust, she help make this process tolerable. Most importantly, she was able to get my case wrapped up in a timely manner with a desirable outcome. An outcome that would not have been possible otherwise. I highly recommend Melody Petitt.

Melody Petitt handled my case quickly and thoroughly. I was so happy with her dedication to keeping my family and I safe and getting the proper legal measures in order. She was able to get my Protective Order filed and eventually won while keeping me informed and confident through the whole thing. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Simply the best lawyer I have ever had. I have had the pleasure of having her work on my case for a year. She is full of information and guidance. She is not afraid to tell you if what you think is a bad move and direct you in the right direction. She will not let you down.

Melody and the firm's staff gave us excellent assistance in our successful effort to gain custodial control of our grandson. She guided us through the process, timely filed all documents and gave us great representation in the court proceedings.

Melody exemplifies everything that I needed in an attorney. She followed through on every aspect of what she said she would do. Along the way, she always kept my interests in mind when following up with the courts and giving me closure. All this in just a few short weeks before closing out the 2020 year during a pandemic. In my previous experiences, I've always had to chase down my attorney or come up with the solutions on my own. Melody was the exact opposite of that. Replies were very timely, and she came up with solutions prior to discussing wih me with any setbacks that would come up. My only regret is not hiring her initially several years ago.

Everyone at Hargrave Family Law was tremendous throughout my custody process. Custody situations are not fun and as a father, it always seemed like an uphill battle but because of Melody and the team at Hargrave Family Law I had not the best legal representation but a group of people who had my back and made sure that my son's best interest was always THE priority. Melody and the team at Hargrave Family Law were relentless in ensuring that the job was done right and successfully. Words can't express my gratitude, thank you Melody, and everyone at Hargrave Family Law! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THINGS RIGHT!

I was introduced to Melody Petitt through my friend, who used and highly recommended her. Melody was so patient with me and was my voice when I was so afraid. She was an excellent buffer and always “had my back”. Melody made me feel like I was important and personally cared for. She made time to communicate with me and keep me updated. She is a tough, professional attorney. Her staff was very kind and helpful. I would recommend her anytime. Thank you for your help, Melody.

Melody was the shining beacon of hope for me from the moment she returned my call. From day 1 she made me feel valued and understood. Throughout the process she kept me up to date and communicated with me regularly. She quickly responded to e-mails, texts and phone calls and always provided useful advice. Billing was fair and there were never any surprises. She did an exceptional job setting expectations and helping me understand everything. At mediation and behind the scenes throughout this process she advocated for me and my son professionally and persuasively. I honestly don't think I could have had a better lawyer for this difficult time in my life. Cannot say enough good things about her!

Custody situations are not fun and as a father, it always seemed like an uphill battle but because of Melody and the team at Hargrave Family Law I had not the best legal representation but a group of people who had my back and made sure that my son's best interest was always THE priority. Melody and the team at Hargrave Family Law were relentless in ensuring that the job was done right and successfully. Words can't express my gratitude, thank you Melody, and everyone at Hargrave Family Law! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THINGS RIGHT!

I was introduced to Melody Petitt through my friend, who used and highly recommended her. Melody was so patient with me and was my voice when I was so afraid. She was an excellent buffer and always “had my back”. Melody made me feel like I was important and personally cared for. She made time to communicate with me and keep me updated. She is a tough, professional attorney. Her staff was very kind and helpful. I would recommend her anytime. Thank you for your help, Melody.

Melody was the shining beacon of hope for me from the moment she returned my call. From day 1 she made me feel valued and understood. Throughout the process she kept me up to date and communicated with me regularly. She quickly responded to e-mails, texts and phone calls and always provided useful advice. Billing was fair and there were never any surprises. She did an exceptional job setting expectations and helping me understand everything. At mediation and behind the scenes throughout this process she advocated for me and my son professionally and persuasively. I honestly don't think I could have had a better lawyer for this difficult time in my life. Cannot say enough good things about her!

When Melody took over my case, it was going nowhere, the previous attorney had done nothing for months but allow opposing counsel to stall, allowing my case to become dormant, luckily that attorney left the firm. When Melody took over she immediately began filing motions, requesting documents that previously had been denied. The outcome of my case was not all I'd hoped for, but Melody made sure I was able to maximize and make the best out of a bad situation. She was always honest, forthright, and meticulous in her handling of the case. She even pushed for the firm to credit my account for work that the previous attorney had not completed. If you want integrity, honesty, and hard work, definitely hire Melody Petitt as your counsel.

Melody handled my case with care & logic. She challenged me when I was leading with emotional rather than logic, and understood when she needed to pull back. She was an excellent partner through the whole process, and I have already recommended her to others.

You don't know what you don't know. However, you do know when something is not working out. With that said, I went through a couple of attorneys before being represented by Melody Petitt with Hargrave Family Law and that made all the difference. I will start off saying that the divorce process is like a game. And the law is the rule book, which is a constant that does not change. Where the game gets interesting are the players involved, petitioner, respondent and legal team. Every case is unique, yet some attorneys approach the process as if it's all the same. However, in my case, we were dealing with a high conflict personality; and, it cannot be taken lightly. Unlike my prior attorneys, Melody jumped on my case and took the time to really understand my situation and what we were dealing with. She took the time to educate me on the law and how it applied in my situation, whether it was something I wanted to hear or not. The law is the law. She knew how to deal with the opposing party. Strategy was the key, and she was prepared for anything. She earned my trust and with that trust, she help make this process tolerable. Most importantly, she was able to get my case wrapped up in a timely manner with a desirable outcome. An outcome that would not have been possible otherwise. I highly recommend Melody Petitt.

Melody Petitt handled my case quickly and thoroughly. I was so happy with her dedication to keeping my family and I safe and getting the proper legal measures in order. She was able to get my Protective Order filed and eventually won while keeping me informed and confident through the whole thing. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Simply the best lawyer I have ever had. I have had the pleasure of having her work on my case for a year. She is full of information and guidance. She is not afraid to tell you if what you think is a bad move and direct you in the right direction. She will not let you down.

Melody and the firm's staff gave us excellent assistance in our successful effort to gain custodial control of our grandson. She guided us through the process, timely filed all documents and gave us great representation in the court proceedings.

Melody exemplifies everything that I needed in an attorney. She followed through on every aspect of what she said she would do. Along the way, she always kept my interests in mind when following up with the courts and giving me closure. All this in just a few short weeks before closing out the 2020 year during a pandemic. In my previous experiences, I've always had to chase down my attorney or come up with the solutions on my own. Melody was the exact opposite of that. Replies were very timely, and she came up with solutions prior to discussing wih me with any setbacks that would come up. My only regret is not hiring her initially several years ago.

Strategy was the key, and she was prepared for anything. She earned my trust and with that trust, she help make this process tolerable. Most importantly, she was able to get my case wrapped up in a timely manner with a desirable outcome. An outcome that would not have been possible otherwise. I highly recommend Melody Petitt.

Melody Petitt handled my case quickly and thoroughly. I was so happy with her dedication to keeping my family and I safe and getting the proper legal measures in order. She was able to get my Protective Order filed and eventually won while keeping me informed and confident through the whole thing. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Simply the best lawyer I have ever had. I have had the pleasure of having her work on my case for a year. She is full of information and guidance. She is not afraid to tell you if what you think is a bad move and direct you in the right direction. She will not let you down.

Melody and the firm's staff gave us excellent assistance in our successful effort to gain custodial control of our grandson. She guided us through the process, timely filed all documents and gave us great representation in the court proceedings.

Melody exemplifies everything that I needed in an attorney. She followed through on every aspect of what she said she would do. Along the way, she always kept my interests in mind when following up with the courts and giving me closure. All this in just a few short weeks before closing out the 2020 year during a pandemic. In my previous experiences, I've always had to chase down my attorney or come up with the solutions on my own. Melody was the exact opposite of that. Replies were very timely, and she came up with solutions prior to discussing wih me with any setbacks that would come up. My only regret is not hiring her initially several years ago.

Everyone at Hargrave Family Law was tremendous throughout my custody process. Custody situations are not fun and as a father, it always seemed like an uphill battle but because of Melody and the team at Hargrave Family Law I had not the best legal representation but a group of people who had my back and made sure that my son's best interest was always THE priority. Melody and the team at Hargrave Family Law were relentless in ensuring that the job was done right and successfully. Words can't express my gratitude, thank you Melody, and everyone at Hargrave Family Law! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THINGS RIGHT!

I was introduced to Melody Petitt through my friend, who used and highly recommended her. Melody was so patient with me and was my voice when I was so afraid. She was an excellent buffer and always “had my back”. Melody made me feel like I was important and personally cared for. She made time to communicate with me and keep me updated. She is a tough, professional attorney. Her staff was very kind and helpful. I would recommend her anytime. Thank you for your help, Melody.

Melody was the shining beacon of hope for me from the moment she returned my call. From day 1 she made me feel valued and understood. Throughout the process she kept me up to date and communicated with me regularly. She quickly responded to e-mails, texts and phone calls and always provided useful advice. Billing was fair and there were never any surprises. She did an exceptional job setting expectations and helping me understand everything. At mediation and behind the scenes throughout this process she advocated for me and my son professionally and persuasively. I honestly don't think I could have had a better lawyer for this difficult time in my life. Cannot say enough good things about her!

When Melody took over my case, it was going nowhere, the previous attorney had done nothing for months but allow opposing counsel to stall, allowing my case to become dormant, luckily that attorney left the firm. When Melody took over she immediately began filing motions, requesting documents that previously had been denied. The outcome of my case was not all I'd hoped for, but Melody made sure I was able to maximize and make the best out of a bad situation. She was always honest, forthright, and meticulous in her handling of the case. She even pushed for the firm to credit my account for work that the previous attorney had not completed. If you want integrity, honesty, and hard work, definitely hire Melody Petitt as your counsel.

Melody handled my case with care & logic. She challenged me when I was leading with emotional rather than logic, and understood when she needed to pull back. She was an excellent partner through the whole process, and I have already recommended her to others.

You don't know what you don't know. However, you do know when something is not working out. With that said, I went through a couple of attorneys before being represented by Melody Petitt with Hargrave Family Law and that made all the difference. I will start off saying that the divorce process is like a game. And the law is the rule book, which is a constant that does not change. Where the game gets interesting are the players involved, petitioner, respondent and legal team. Every case is unique, yet some attorneys approach the process as if it's all the same. However, in my case, we were dealing with a high conflict personality; and, it cannot be taken lightly.
