Should be ashamed to call himself an attorney

I have dealt with a lot of legal professionals over the years. I hired Melnik Law Group and can easily say that this is easily one of the worst law firms that I have ever had the displeasure of doing business with. Melnik Law Group advertises itself based on Steven Melnik's expertise in law and... accounting. I wouldnt know if he or his firm really have this expertise because once Melnik Law Group had my money they refused to answer any legal questions I had regarding the services they were supposed to provide. They effectively treated me as a stranger, not as a client, after taking my money. Melnik himself will be happy to show you his resume and his education credentials. Dont be fooled. Melnik's education credentials are meaningless - it is as if they dont exist - if he is not using them to provide you with the legal assistance you need. If you are considering using Melnik Law Group, I would advise you to find someone else.

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.

I usually dont write reviews, but couldn't resist of sharing the great experience with Steven's expertise. Due to my family circumstances, I needed a trust. After the consultation, when I received all answers to all my questions, Steven and his team completed the work within terms we discussed. Also ...I was impressed by not only professional, but a very friendly and humane disposition.

Best attorney

A couple of years ago I hired the Melnik Law Group to create a Trust. My initial consultation was with Steven Melnik. He was very attentive, listened to my situation, and then - made some specific recommendations and transferred me to the trusted hands of his assistants. They, in turn, told me in de...tail how the trust creation process proceeds and in what time frame I could expect it to be completed. The face-to-face and phone conversations with the office staff were professional and pleasant. They answered my many questions clearly, in great detail and made necessary adjustments to future steps. I would like to say a special thank you to Gayane Galstyan who worked on my case extensively. She is exceptionally professional! I always found her to be incredibly attentive, tactful, polite and patient. If she wasn't able to answer my call and I left a message, she gave me a call back almost immediately. Any time that I would call her or stop by the office, she knew exactly what was going on with my case. As a result, all the documents were collected and signed on time. After the creation of my Trust I never encountered any issues with it. I look back on my experience with the Melnik Law Group with gratitude.
