Steven Vyacheslav Melnik

I retained Mr.Steven Melnik for his services after meeting with him at his office in the Rockefeller center in NYC for $6,500.00 at the end of 2014. Since which I have repeatedly tried to speak to Mr. Melnik (or his associate Mr. Johnson) but never got past leaving a message with his secretary, whom... assured me each time that I would receive a call back in regards to my case. I have no idea if anything was even submitted by either one of them. So aside from my 20 minute initial consult I have not spoken to or heard from Melnik Law Group. There was an error made by Mr. Melnik on my contract, which has not been corrected due to the fact that I can't reach him. It is now Tax season and time to file. I am upset, worried and in limbo.

I would like to start off by saying that Steve showed professionalism to me during our very expensive consultation which his secretary told us he would waive if we decided to retain him. I decided to retain him because he sounded knowledgeable and he still charged me for the consultation. Once you re...tain him, the professionalism goes out the door. He was retained to perform a trust which he promised would be ready in a couple of weeks. A month and a half passes by, my credit card was charged and the trust was still not ready. I called his office many times trying to get in contact with him. Secretary takes down my name and tells me that someone will call you back. After the fifth time calling throughout the week, I got in contact with one of his assistants and was told that the trust has been finished, reviewed and was being mailed out. Two weeks passed and I never received any documents. This is insane. With the thousands of dollars he charged me the least he can do is call me to tell me what is going on. Never did!! You will never get in contact with him. Getting in contact with him or his unprofessional staff is very difficult. Please do yourself a a favor and stay away from this expensive unprofessional attorney who puts on a good show during consultations and takes a very long time to deliver breaking deadlines he mentioned in the consultation. Stay Away!

We went to several attorneys prior to coming to Melnik Law Group and afterwards we knew we came to the only lawyer we would need. From the moment we arrived we had an amazing experience. All of our questions were answered before we even had a chance to ask and most importantly we were provided with o...ptions that no one else ever discussed with us. We were told the pros and cons of all the choices we had and it made it a breeze to choose the route that would serve our family best. The trust and medicaid planning work was completed as promised and we were helped along the way by the amazing staff of Mr. David and Gayana are superstars!!! Thank you so much and I have already sent 2 more people to attend their free consultation.

Since 2014 Melnik Law Group was very instrumental in resolving my legal issues and Gayane Galstyan, as a part of its team, proved to be very responsible, knowledgeable, honest and caring professional. I found her advice/s to always be the most helpful, thus she is on my “first to call” list when I ha...ve any legal issues. I thank Melnik Law Group for having such a great paralegal, as well as the rest of highly professional staff on board.
