Melissa Justine Cantwell

My ex hired Melissa 4 years ago and our divorce still isn’t finalized. The Philly court told me to call them to ask why (I’m representing myself). When I called, they said they won’t give me legal advice and hung up on me. To be clear, asking for the status of a divorce that was filed 4 years ago isn...’t legal advice. And to hang up on a caller like that is rude and unprofessional. Not to mention that a divorce shouldn’t take 4 years to finalize.

The most incompetent attorney I have ever dealt with. She has no problem taking your retainer and underperforming. Melissa was highly unprepared for my case and when opposing counsel clearly lied she did not call him out on it. When I mentioned it to her she had the audacity to say ‘maybe he forgot a...bout the details’. Lady whose side are you on!? If you want to waste your money and question which side your attorney is on, hire Melissa.

Melissa has been my attorney since my children have been about 6 months old and I am SOOO GRATEFUL that I found her!! I most recently needed her services again a few weeks ago and she never disappoints!! She has ALWAYS been honest, knowledgeable, upfront, compassionate, and never have I reached out t...o her office and not heard back from her with answers to my questions. I, like many, probably wish we didn't have to go through support and other issues but I can say from my personal experiences with her that I would NEVER set foot in court without her! She has fought for my children like she is part of our family. I trust her guidance and gentle but extremely firm and knowledgeable approach with the various situations that we have been faced with. All I can say is 10 STARS I would recommend her to anyone needing help no matter how big or small there isn't anything she can't handle! She will forever be a part of my family and I am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!!!

Melissa was recommended to me by a former client of hers. I am so fortunate that I received the recommendation and I want to leave a review to support Melissa to others. She has been professional, responsive and has made me feel like I’m her only client even though I know that isn’t true! Even on a b...usy day in court she responds to my emails and she’s kept me informed throughout the entire time she’s been my attorney. She’s listened to details of my situation and has given me the straightforward and experienced legal advice I’ve needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal representation. She is an assertive, supportive and confident attorney and woman. She is exactly what I needed and looked for when seeking a lawyer to help me navigate the legal system during an extremely difficult time.
