Kevin Hagan, DUI and DWI Attorney
Relationship: Co-worker
Melissa is a former co-worker of mine. She is a tenacious and talented trial lawyer with diverse experience and excellent personal contacts. I work in tandem with Melissa on matters that require persistence and attention to detail. She is a proven winner in the trial context and a tough but diplomatic negotiator. I trust and recommend Melissa for any legal matter!
