Melissa Hayes Shirey

She failed to do the job she was assigned to do. She didn't conduct an investigation and clearly didn't read several documents that she billed as she had. She doesn't understand the difference between a court order, a motion and an ex parte report. She doesn't seem to know much about family law, bill...ing practices or courtesy. She was secretive and liked treating everybody as if she was entitled to order around. Delivered a badly written product after her time was up that does not have any validity since she didn't even stamp it at the prothonatory. Her staff will talk endlessly without allowing you to state your point and will interrupt you at every chance. She made a judgment without having met us after her paralegal's behaviour was less than desirable. She doesn't have detective skills or any common sense. She doesn't understand teenagers and parental alienation, and she likes imposing her own views of the law and never learned manners either. I have always found Erie to be a cradle for bad lawyers, but she turned out to be even worse than my last one. I can't find anything good to say about this person other than her office being in a nice location with relatively easy parking.
