Melissa Megan Willem

Melissa will make a great first impression. Take your deposit. Then not follow through on ANYTHING. But don't worry every time you reach out via text message to follow up on why you haven't recieved your documents she will bill you for "text communication". Highly recommend using ANYONE else if you a...ctually want to get the representation you're paying for. It took an office manager stepping in for me to get anywhere with even getting reassigned new representation.

After reading another recent review, Melissa seems to work unethically and take money from people and run. I gave a hefty retainer fee for an easy divorce case and did not get services worth that fee!! I got a constant run around, severe lack of communication, and excuses for missed meetings. I respe...ctfully asked for at least half my retainer back and nothing.

After years of battling with my children's father in and out of court, I never thought that I would feel as supported or as prioritized as Melissa Willem has made me feel. I have worked with many lawyers for a variety of different reasons during the last 20 years - from buying and selling my homes, m...unicipal court tickets, help with handling my family members estates, my divorce and then the custody and support motions that came after. I was represented by three different family lawyers over the years before I even met Melissa. After having those experiences through the years, I can truly say that I have never met a lawyer like Melissa, and honestly didn't think lawyers cared about much more than getting their bills paid. But with Melissa, I never felt this way for even a moment. From the moment I first spoke with Melissa and decided to retain her (during COVID), I felt like she was on my side and fought for me regardless of how much money I had or how hard the process became. She was honest with me, always explained complicated legal issues in a way that I could understand, and always made me feel important and prioritized. She even talked me through very difficult and overwhelming situations at night and on weekends. I felt supported and heard and will be forever grateful for her support through very stressful times, especially when my ex-husband would relapse or the police became involved. She was patient and understanding and kind. I was able to rebuild my life and focus on my children because of the perspective and advice she offered me in the few years I have known her - even when we were not in Court or getting ready to go to Court. I highly recommend Melissa, you will not be disappointed!

I retained Melissa Willem to represent me in a child custody case and she took my retainer and then never answered any phone calls or responded to any emails. She didn’t even show up to court which was virtual ! She left me high and dry without legal representation and still won’t return my calls. I ...DO NOT RECOMMEND MELISSA WILLEM !
