Excellent Representation during challenging times

Melissa Greevy represented me for multiple child custody hearings. Lets face it Divorce is a less then ideal thing to go through. Add in figuring out child custody and its just down right miserable. As a father it was very important to me to to share physical and legal custody of my child. As a man I... thought this was going to be a challenging battle, because I bought into a common misconception that fathers were not treated as equals to mothers in custody court. The court process was lengthy and complicated I do admit, but not overwhelming with excellent advice and legal counsel from Melissa. I would recommend Melissa and Johnson Duffie to anyone looking for excellent legal representation during a challenging time. Their legal expertise and guidance will certianly give you peace of mind, and excellent legal representation.

Collaborative Divorce Attorney - Professional, Effective and Compassionate

The divorce process itself was extremely overwhelming and emotional. Melissa was compassionate with my goal of securing what was in the best interests of my children. Instead of pursuing a hostile courtroom divorce, Melissa's skills in navigating the collaborative divorce process were invaluable. To ...be clear, every divorce, even a collaborative process, has conflict, emotions and anger that creep into almost every discussion. Being able to manage that conflict and keep things focused on the end goal was critical, and Melissa was equal to the task. From our first meeting through the final divorce, Melissa helped me in establishing and clarifying my goals and expectations, clearly advised me on the law, kept communications lines open and was very responsive to questions or concerns I had going through the process. I was able to negotiate in good faith with my children's mother to secure the best possible settlement and develop a co-parenting plan that put our children first, and set aside any emotions from the divorce that would have harmed their future. Melissa helped me also negotiate a settlement that helped us avoid trial and further unnecessary time in court and costs. I cannot express enough how thoughtful, professional, skillful, and dedicated Melissa was as my collaborative divorce attorney, and I am profoundly grateful for her work on my children's behalf, and also my own.
