divorce/child support

Melissa is calm, supportive, and totally transparent with financial dealings. I'd met with several attorneys before choosing her, and though they all seemed ready to "fight" on my behalf, she was the only one who answered emails and questions immediately. She knows the complexities of family court, a...nd she will tell you upfront what you can or can't expect, with A+ efficiency.

Professional, Result-Oriented and Client Focussed

I approached Levine-Piro Law firm on Jan 1, 2014 for an employment related case. My employer failed to pay my wages after getting paid by my client and threatened to sue me for a breach of agreement. When I first met Melissa in her Maynard office, she was very patient listening to my problem, showed ...empathy towards me and calmed my fears by outlining the natural steps to legally address the issue. Though all the evidence were in my favor my employer was very cunning and we had a hard time serving notices. Melissa was very professional keeping me updated on every step, asking my thoughts on her suggestions and really put a lot of hard work behind the case. after a long 2 year battle, she could finally get a judgement served in my favor and get my employer to a settlement. I very much owe everything on the case to her. Her perseverance and judgement very much paid off in the end. I'm very happy to have found her through the Boston Lawyer's Association which referred her to me. I recommend her services to anyone at all times.

Debt collection case

Melissa helped me to recover money from my non paying client. She did excellent job gathering all the necessary information and her communication with me and the client's lawyer was outstanding. After 1 year of going back and forth she was able to settle my case out of court and with my full compensa...tion from my client.

Exceptional service. I felt like they truly cared about me and my situation. Always able to reach them and were very quick to return calls if I left a voicemail. Very personable law office . I felt comfortable and at ease immediately. Worked extremely hard on my case and always kept me informed a...bout in changes. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for Legal representation. Cannot say enough great things.

Warm and sincere women and Lawyer!

Melissa was wonderdul! I felt like little had to be worried about, always on time, prepared. Highly knowledgeable. She made me feel more than she cared, that everything's going to be okay. (No matter what happened threw the process). It made my ex feel like his lawyer wasn't worth what he was being p...aid. ;). All in all she made the mood light when they were tough. I believe she is what helped me threw the separation anxiety part of the relationships end. Thank you a million time more.
