Smooth, Stress-Free Experience

Melissa is everything I want in a lawyer! From the get-go, Melissa was very responsive to my emails regarding my speeding ticket. She truly guided me throughout the process and promptly addressed any and all of my concerns. As a result of her help, the whole process went smoother and less stressfully... than I thought possible. I ended up receiving a nolle prosequi—the best possible outcome in my scenario—due to Melissa’s invaluable advice. I have no complaints whatsoever and could not recommend her enough!

1 Day Divorce Mediation

Literally 1 Day!! My wife and I decided to separate. After meeting with another attorney first who wasn't listening to our needs we where referred to Attorney Smith , she helped us prepare all the paperwork, charged us a fair price for her time and made it super easy. The paper work was submitted... and lo and behold the judgement was approved the following day! The whole process was seamless, and Attorney Smith's communication was clear and consistent. Amazing!!

Family case

-A job well done! -Highly recommended -Amazing legal representation If you are still searching for an attorney, I highly recommend Melissa. Melissa worked hard from start to finish. She did an amazing job representing me in court and we won! As a defendant, Melissa was able to get the case ...dismissed! Melissa worked hard from start to finish and I always had confidence in her because she worked hard on this case and always kept in frequent contact with me. I highly recommend Melissa.
