SHE HAS NO MORALS WHATSOEVER

Hope she gets exposed for all the ILLEGAL things she has done ( BEHIND THE SCENES, OF COURSE!) over her years as a 'lawyer'! ...she had my 7 y.o. LIE and said I hit her ( when it was my daughter's 4 y.o. nephew who hit her shins many times!) to judges. ..after 5 years, to this day, I still dont hav...e 50/50 custody of my child. NOW my daughter realizes what she has done, but the damage has been done. My daughter was told by rudeass to say I knocked her BABY TOOTH out by punching her. My daughter DIDNT FALL FOR THAT ONE THOUGH! she is a piece of sh*t! .. gets CRIMINALS OFF THE HOOK! WHY would a woman hire a DEFENSE lawyer like her?.. TO WIN, no matter if LIES are told..RUINED MANY OF FAMILIES! TRUTH DONT MATTER WHEN SHES IN COURT. GREAT LIAR!

Worth every penny

Melissa is a fantastic attorney. She has been with me my entire custody battle and divorce. I highly recommend her!

Awesome woman

Melissa Rudas is an outstanding Attorney , she helped me significantly and was always there to answer questions. She isn't money hungry because she helped me out knowing I was a single mother of 2. Several of my friends used Melissa and got great results also. Melissa even called me back at 9pm at ni...ght after office hours to me it says she is a loyal attorney. I never had to worry about anything but signing papers , my custody / divorce went to trial and I won my case and she NEVER asked me to lie. I was with her for 2 years because we had a fight on our hands with custody. Melissa even let me finishing paying her 6 months after my case was closed. To all of you negative people you must have been on the other side because you definitely were not a client....
