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.

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.

An Attorney Everyone Should Have By Their Side

Unfortunately an attorney is someone you mostly only look for when a grave situation has arisen. As in my own situation with my son's mother attempting to file for principal custody of my son. However, Mr. Meliti is not just an attorney during those times but also a real person who comes at your situ...ation with the respect and support you would expect from a friend. His vast knoweldge of the law and general understanding of not only the legal aspects of the situation but also of the human aspect and how much of an impact one makes on another. Simply put, Mike is not trying to win a case but be victorious in your stance.
