Professional, courteous and efficient

I worked with Melissa and her assistant Andrea when I was planning my Family Trust. My meeting with Melissa was thorough as she explained in detail all of my options, So thankful for her expertise and knowledge on this topic. Andrea was prompt and efficient with all paperwork that need to get com...pleted and followed through with any loose ends. She was very flexible with scheduling and worked around my busy work schedule. Highly recommend this amazing duo.

My 'until she retires' lawyer!!!

I was referred to Melissa through a friend. My parents were having a tough time with a lawyer the were working with. We brought the materials to Melissa's office after talking with her Administrative assistant, Andrea, who made sure to advise us on everything we needed so that everything was efficie...nt. That made the process go smoothly. The across the board price was very fair too, for it being one lawyer. Honestly, we will be going back for any law help.

Excellent Estate Planning

Melissa was by far the easiest attorney I have ever worked with. She was extremely friendly, professional and worked diligently to meet my needs and timelines. She is very knowledgeable and was always able to answer any questions I had about the entire process as it was something completely new for... me. She puts in the extra time and effort to make sure that you are receiving everything that you want throughout the process and would gladly use her for future planning as well.

  • 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.
