This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Attorney

Melissa was highly recommended to me by an attorney. I am so glad I hired her to handle my Bankruptcy case, considering that I was in middle of divorce in 2015 and property was involved, so let's face it, I was terrified, considering that divorce attorney's and judge were watching my steps, and anx...iously were waiting for the results. In beginning of 2016 my case was approved. Personally I was skeptical, nervous of loosing the property, but Melissa was right there with me, she was on top of everything that bankruptcy court communicated and she knew the steps, and always professional, calm and she truly understood how bad/complicated my situation was. She has inspired me in so many ways; considering that she's young, dedicated and she has plenty of experience on her line of work. I would highly recommend Melissa Conner as your bankruptcy attorney. She held my hand through the process and was very understanding of my financial and overall situation. Bankruptcy was the last thing ever that I thought would happen to me, but life is unpredictable. Melissa gave me a brand new beginning that I much needed it. Bankruptcy is a fresh new start in life. I will always highly recommend Melissa for her knowledge of law and for her dedication to each clients and case. Thank you very much Melissa and I wish you only the best.

Competent and Compassionate

Melissa is wonderful! She was kind and understanding during my case. She explained things without talking down to me, and all of my interactions with her were pleasant. I really appreciated her help and support through this distressing time.

Bankruptcy

Melissa Conner was an excellent, knowledgeable and attentive lawyer. Every time I emailed her or called she responded or got back to me promptly with answers to all my questions. More importantly Melissa got it done. She also gave me a detailed plan of how to build my credit back up. Melissa was a pl...easure to work with and I highly recommend her services to everyone.
