HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

Took so much money and left his clients with nothing. No wonder the last reviews are dated 2019, he is nowhere to find. I'll go after him to get my money back. I know where he works... I'll contact the board of association as well

Worse Attonery

I strongly recommend you keep a far distance from this attorney, better yet a teacher haha. The worse experience and/or position you can place yourself between. The rates this attorney charges for his level of experience is extremely OVERPRICED. PERSONALLY I wouldn’t hire him to cut my grass nor clea...n my car :)). He often displays his credentials/education which is complete meaningless when you have zero success to show for it, let alone when you actually experience his unknowledgeable , Disrespectful, careless personality. Check your emails once a while and take some time to put some mind in to what you write and how you write. 3yrs

elder law attorney

Steven Melnik is very knowledgeable we hired him as an elder attorney for our parents. Their case was handled well and despite the longer time frame we expected we were happy with the outcome in the end.

Thank you very much Steven

On behalf of our family I would like to express our great appreciation to Melnik Law Group for resolving my father SSI package issues. The proficient and competent team helped to resolve the dilemma. Special recognition and satisfaction to high qualified paralegal specialist Dmitriy Nemirovskiy. His... dedication, accuracy, attention and hard work created appealing atmosphere - the central point from the moment we approached the office.

5 star service

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.
