Excellent Attorney

Melissa worked together with Jessica Swenson on my case and stepped in when necessary helping me navigate through a tumultuous, and complicated custody trial with professionalism, and a firm approach. She was great to work with. She kept me informed during the trial process, helping me to successfull...y do what needed to be done. Also, unlike other attorneys I interviewed prior to hiring her firm, she went over costs every step of the way so I knew what to expect and there were no ugly surprises in the end. She successfully helped me to get the best outcome possible for my situation. I am eternally grateful to her and would recommend Melissa to anyone facing a difficult situation that requires knowledgeable and efficient attorneys who know how to get the job done.

Expert in Family Law

Melissa defended my son twice from his father and stepmother who continuously made false allegations and wanted full control over any and all visitation. Melissa is absolutely an expert in her field. She was fabulous in writing responses and was fantastic presenting in court. She got the best ruling ...for my son. Because of her knowledge and expertise, my family is happy and free of drama. I would recommend her to anyone seeking the best representation!

Melissa has an adept ability to maintain a professional, calm demeanor throughout the mediation/divorce process. Her thorough explanations are reassuring and her gifted talent to keep the process moving forward is unparalleled. I admire her professional experience with emphasis on divorce, custody ...and visitation, child support, pre-nups, separation agreements, division of assets, alimony and spousal support. Melissa’s professional staff is extremely helpful and efficient. They expressed courtesy and empathy with every conversation and returned calls promptly.
