I endorse this lawyer for her conscientious and professional attention to the case. I've dealt with her both as an opposing counsel and as a colleague in matters where we were lawyers in a case of interest to us. Melissa is friendly, compassionate and gives attention to detail which is very important in our business. I could recommend her without reservation and in fact have done so when I have been unable because of scheduling to handle a case myself.
