Michael Meliti- Professional All The Way

Michael Meliti is an outstanding attorney. He has handled tenant issues and rental lease agreements for our church for several years. In addition, my husband and I have used Michael to re-do our wills, powers of attorney, and advanced directives. Michael is very knowledgeable and offers many great... suggestions when issues come up. He is patient and willing to go the extra mile to be sure that his clients are satisfied. If you want an honest, compassionate, professional and committed lawyer, look no further than Michael Meliti.

Review of Michael Paul Meliti, Esq.

Michael Meliti has done an estate will, living will, facilitation of property transfer and change of beneficiaries for my family. He and his staff have always been courteous, prompt, and have consistently gotten us prompt results, and always go the extra mile for us. Especially appreciated during th...e loss of our mom, and throughout the aftermath. Whenever any situation arises, I feel that we are in great hands, and this truly gives us peace of mind. I have already recommended Michael Meliti to a family friend in need of legal services.

Excellent Family Court Attorney

Mike Meliti is a caring attorney who really helped us navigate the family court system. We've encountered enough sleazy lawyers to know that Mike is different. He was honest about what can and cannot be accomplished in court, and even advised us on how to avoid excessive legal costs by doing certai...n steps ourselves. Mike helped us develop a strategy that was fair but aggressive, and which ultimately succeeded in exposing the falsehoods that were presented by my ex-husband and his attorney. As a result, we won our case, and the judge even granted my request for legal expenses. We count Mike as a friend and trust him 100 percent.

Michael is a genious

Mike is one of the best laywers out there. He is able to work on any type of case. I had worked with him on three very different cases over the years and we have won all three. I have not had such a great experience with any other lawyer in my life, and I have two in my family.

They mean business!!

It is great to know that ....real lawyers still exist in a corrupt legal system. Family Court is a place I wish no other to be in. I recently handed over a case I had attempted to battle on my own for three years over to this firm and I have never felt so protect and at peace. I now know my rights... will be protect with a basis of the law as my foundation. One gets divorced to end the fighting and the wars, however, there are some individuals that will use the law not to serve the best interest of the children involved but their own. As I am now the father of additional children ....I am so happy that all my dependents have this firm behind them in order to protect the RIGHTS OF ALL CHILDREN INVOLVED.
