Absolutely Terrible

Melissa was appointed to me during my PFA....She was barely awake during the trial, very spacy and uninterested. I was to have witnesses and as we were walking out she said "O I forgot about your witnesses" Despite them being there. There was a lot of hard evidence I wanted used in court and she woul...d not use any of it (police reports, text messages, emails etc) . When my husband was on the stand she questioned him for maybe 3 min were his lawyer questioned me for approx. 30 +min. We had to have our trial postponed due to time and I confronted Ms. Bleecher about not using my witness or all the hard evidence and she withdrew from my case leaving me with no one. I pleaded before the judge that she should not be able to abandon me mid trial all because I want her to use my witnesses and hard evidence and he said he (the judge) can do whatever he wants. So without reason she was allowed to abandon me mid trial. Even if she is given to you free as she was with me due to filing a PFA DON'T take her. While in the waiting room to go into trial she was rude and very flippant with me. When she left the room the other ladies waiting to go into their trial with Ms. Bleecher said they disliked her and she's rude and one of the ladies said "I actually had to tell her to start fighting for me and not my ex". Terrible, Terrible Lawyer-

review

Not a good attorney at all, she was in my opinion barely functionalble. I actually had to file a motion and represent myself because she would do absolutely nothing and I won! She didnt file any motions nor responded to any of my requests I actually had to subpoena my own file from her because she w...ould not give it to me I would not reccomend this lawyer to anyone called me rude etc. I had to represent myself thats how bad in my opinion she was.
