Melissa Justine Cantwell

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.

I have had the misfortune of requiring legal services twice and the pleasure both times of hiring Melissa Cantwell. She takes the time to learn about the entire situation, asking questions to fully understand and explaining the possibilities of outcomes resulting from different legal avenues to take.... Honest, direct, knowledgeable and professional I would hire her again without hesitation.

Melissa is a fantastic lawyer and works very hard for her clients. I've learned a great deal from her throughout dealing with divorce and ongoing custody matters which has only helped more as time has passed. She has always been very patient and willing to answer all of my questions and I would recom...mend heher in a heartbeat.

Melissa was recommended to me by a friend to do legal paperwork my father needed when he was very ill (will, living will, POA). She was so kind and accommodating, meeting us at his rehab facility to go over exactly what he needed his documents to say. She was very patient and thorough, and explained ...what everything meant in real-life scenarios. She also dropped the documents off at my father’s house when they were completed. My wife and I also hired Melissa to do our wills. Again, she was very thorough and addressed all of our concerns. As a member of the LBGT community, it’s rare to find a professional (doctor, attorney, etc) who is aware and thoughtful enough to confirm that terms and pronouns are being used correctly, and Melissa did that during our meeting (this is a HUGE deal and much appreciated). Melissa has a notary and witness on site, so we were able to have everything notarized at her office, and she presented the paperwork to us organized in a folder with her contact info. We also found Melissa’s fees to be very reasonable and affordable, which was especially appreciated by my father who is on a retiree’s income. Melissa comes very highly recommended!

Melissa was timely, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. She made the process seamless and pain free. She clearly communicated what was required from me and answered all questions I had about the legal terminology and process. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for legal services... in the area.
