We hired S Melnik in 2012 to present my parents case. We paid $5000 for initial consultation which lasted 30 minutes. After that we never saw neither heard from him. We tried many times to reach him for his advice and future actions to be taken. Every time his secretary directed us only to his associ...ate voicemail box. Many times his associate was not able to answer questions and we had to wait several days to get an answer. In many instances it was too late. His service is well overrated for this price. Never again I go with this lawyer. I won't recommend anybody to use his services.
