If I could give zero stars I would!

Contacted Percy Law Group twice on separate occasions, once for elder law and once for copyright law concerns. No response for either. Then I was named a devisee in a will and notified by Melinda Kwart. I paid for an attorney NOT affiliated with Percy Law Group only to discover I was never a devis...ee at all, nor did they never apologized for this major blunder. When I first sought them out (prior to the will fiasco signed by Melinda Kwart) I accessed AVVO and was convinced by the high ratings. But after these THREE VERY POOR instances, I have no idea how Melinda or this group is getting such a high rating. I can only assume the source must be friends, relatives and coworkers. Steer clear.

Estate Planning

Melinda wrote our Last Will and Testament plus related trusts which constitute a major part of our estate plan. She was amazingly patient guiding us through the process, making sure she fully understood our wishes and explaining all the legal jargon. She answered all our questions and we never felt... rushed. Part of the funding of our trusts required that we go through our local bank. The manager who reads a lot of trusts was quite impressed with the quality of Melinda’s work. We would highly recommend Melinda if you are looking for an accomplished attorney who will freely give you her time and who will provide you with excellent legal guidance.

Attorney Kwart is a very impressive attorney.

Melinda Kwart is one of the smartest attorneys I've ever encountered. She's thoughtful in her approach to her practice, focused on her clients' needs, and dedicated to getting to the best possible result for all those she works for. She's also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. As a client... I cannot be happier with her work on my behalf.

Couldn't Be Happier!

Starting a business was something I knew nothing about. Melinda was very informative and helpful guiding me through the process. She always set up a meeting quickly and was completely honest. She shared useful tips and had a genuine interest in my business. What else would you want from a lawyer?

Wonderful Attorney

When my husband of 30+ years came down with terminal cancer and was only given a few short months to live, we had to put our affairs in order. Attorney Kwart was responsive and compassionate to our circumstances. She walked us through the process and made a horrible situation bearable.

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.
