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!!!

Excellent

It's not an easy thing to go through the paperwork of modification to keep from losing your home. It was both a scary and uncertain time for me to face. Attorney Mfume made me feel that there was hope, looked at every possible angle and made sure that all my paperwork was submitted properly and in a ...timely manner. I appreciated how she stayed in contact with me whenever I had a question or concern. She was very professional at my mediation and thanks to her, we were able to come to an agreement that helped me maintain my residency in my home. I would certainly hire her in the future!

AMAZING!

I had a nasty contested divorce case and was fighting for my children. My x was trying to take me to the cleaners as well. Melanie Mfume represented me in the case, her price was extremely fair, and at the end of the day I got the exact outcome I wanted with the case! As of yesterday I'm divorced, ha...ve split custody of my boys and am a happy man! She was quick with her responses and worked to make sure I felt taken care of! I'll recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

Melanie Murray

Melani Murray is one of the most professional lawyers I ever encountered. She has the best people skills and she really attends to the needs of any case, I would recommend her to anyone, she believes in law and would fight to the end on any case. She is very responsive to any question you throw at he...r and she will guide you on a successful case if you every encounter her. Melani help me in a case with my daughter and she guided me into having a successful case to have equal share of my daughter.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
