Everything went smoothly...

I made the right choice by hiring Melissa. She is very professional, and was able to answer all of my questions. She was also excellent at communicating with me via e-mail and phone throughout my case. No complaints here.

Picking a good attorney for Workers Compensation cases.

Melissa is very knowledgeable and confident when it comes to workers compensation cases. She helped me tremendously. She was quick to pick up on my situation, and knew how to handle everything right from the start.

Excellent...

Melissa was very helpful and informative through out my whole case. Listens to what you have to say and gives you options and informs you of things you may have never thought about. Notified me anytime an offer changed. She does look young but she knows her stuff. I would recommend her to anyone with... a workers comp case. Keep up the great work Melissa...

Nothing But Success

I was very afraid when it came time for my disability hearing, thinking that the judge would not recognize how serious my disability is. I was equally scared when I met Ms. Leininger face - to- face for the first time. She appeared to be very young, and my thinking was that she can not have much expe...rience at this. Once the hearing began, all of my fears went away; It was clear that Melissa had done her homework on me and my disabilities, and she was knowledgeable of the causes and symptoms. She presented my case to the judge in a manner that showed all medical reasoning for me to be listed as disabled. Her line of questioning on me, brought home every detail of my daily struggles, and clarified how horrible life must be for me in certain situations. She did an excellent job. Also, during the process, she gave me tips on how I could save on paying some fees; and they say lawyers are evil, Melissa was very helpful, and very plesant.
