The Attorney That Made It Happen!

Attorney Melanie Mfume, protected me from what might have been one of the worst tragedy I faced in my life, homelessness. The cards were so stacked against me and my situation, yet she took my case; without reservation went to bat and gave the chance to redeem myself and get myself repositioned to ge...t back into life… Went above beyond expectations and set me right. Her professionalism and knowledge of her craft is what did it for me and anyone that’s needing a win, she’s the one. Ever so grateful!!!

Professional, responsive, swift

Ms. Mfume listened carefully to all of our concerns during our initial consultation and quickly offered a variety of insightful, practical avenues for resolving our issue, therefore earning our trust and respect from the start. She handled our landlord-tenant matter with utmost professionalism and he...lped us reach a favorable settlement quickly and efficiently. She is easily reachable via text/email and makes an effort to keep clients updated.

Best Lawyer for Military Male Members

My name is SSgt Gonzalez, Adam and I would like to leave a real life testimony about my attorney, Ms. Melanie M. Mfume. I had a very 1-sided marriage and battled a toxic separation for 2 years, during a pandemic to get time with my son and financially on my feet. Being Active Duty Military I was stil...l obligated to provide shelter, food, funding and transportation for my significant other while surviving on my own to carry the weight and not have any contact with my son. I've been riding a bicycle for the past 2 years and still was paying for rent, car note and all other bills/utilities for my ex, and had to work a side job on the weekends just to be able to pay everything. My ex refused to work and it was a very toxic marriage. After I was blessed to get Ms. Mfume to represent me, I was able to get joint custody with my son without my ex being and controlling the time with him and am finally not paying over $2,500+ a month and am saving up for a car, while slowly climbing out of 8 yrs of debt. Her attention to detail, care for dads that want a relationship with their son and financial peace as well as seeing too many dependas burn good guys helped make my life feel normal after such a long time. Words can not explain my gratitude and gratefulness from getting out alive and justified at the end from a battle I was fighting alone for such a long time. I personally recommend her for any Good Dads out there that want time with their children or are being manipulated by their evil spouses. You are never alone! Very Respectfully, -SSgt Gonzalez, Adam USAF, JB Andrews, MD
