Highly Recommended for Many Reasons

I hired Melissa for a case and it was a positive experience from the very first interaction. Melissa & her assistant were always timely with correspondence, went above & beyond to accommodate my hearing disability, and won my case in court! If you are looking for a lawyer who is passionate, determine...d & energetic about her job & clients- look no further and definitely hire Melissa Willem.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
