The Best

Attorney Melican has helped me with many legal matters over the years. He is an extremely knowledgable attorney who has always gone out of his way to make sure my interests were taken care of. Attorney Melican has a way of breaking down complicated legal matters in a simple way. He is no nonsense an...d best of all gets positive results. Highly recommended.

Assured Advisor

My dog bit an idiot who sued me & lawyer Dan helped assuage my anxiety immediately as well as see the case through to a respectable, if not profitable, conclusion.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
