Posted by anonymous | January 23, 2008 | Child Custody

Smart, Level Headed, Kept within Budget

We used Ms. Scott for a custody hearing and for child support. She is now helping us with college expenses. Ms. Scott kept everyone calm and didn't guide into needlessly escalating the issues Her understanding of our needs and the needs of all children involved helped us keep the focus on the kid's b...est interest. Our custody was resolved in our favor and we will continue to see her guidance

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Melinda and I recently worked together on a complex, international investment transaction, and because it involved several areas of U.S. and international law, it required collaboration by several attorneys. Melinda was the conduit that made everything happen, and I would look forward to working with her again."

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.
