6 years to 1 year

Nobody wants to leave their family for long periods of time no matter what mistake we make...sometimes the court system itself is the wake up call we need...and after watching my kids cry about my situation Frank was able to help me get my time offer from 6 years down to 1 year during motions...very ...thankful for that...but even more grateful that I still owe him 1500 and told him the process of paying him might take a bit cause I had other traffic cases I needed to pay and school clothes shopping to do for my children before I left which he was very understanding about...never been comfortable with putting the time of my life in anyone's hands but very glad I chose to put my life in Frank's hands...he did a very remarkable job and filed great motions on my behalf...never once judged me as a criminal or anything less than him...but judged me as I should be judged...a man with a family trying to survive the life were given...and I would recommend this man to anyone...thank you Frank

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Rome NY

I heard nothing but positive feedback regarding Frank Mellace which is why he was the first attorney I reached out to when I found myself in legal trouble. He was able to reduce my bail by 50% and had me back at home with my family within two days of being arrested. I found Frank to not only be knowl...edgeable, but he was also very easy to talk to and always handled our interactions in a professional and respectful manner. He told me what he could do for me regarding my case and followed through with his word. He was also very responsive if I had a question regarding my case and usually got back to me that same day if he wasn't in the office upon my initial call. I would highly recommend Frank Mellace to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Highly recommend!

Excellent criminal defense attorney, highly recommend. I was able to easily reach Frank whenever I had questions. He is a good listener, very easy to talk to. The motions in my case were extremely well researched and written. Frank explained each phase of the court proceedings and my options from... onset to conclusion. It was obvious to me, watching him in court, that his experience and professional demeanor has earned him the respect of the judges and his peers.
