Melissa A Kucinski Esq

A year ago, I unexpectedly found myself needing a divorce lawyer. I was utterly devastated and had absolutely no idea where to turn. After gathering a list of referrals from friends in the legal community, I began making calls to attorneys. They were all extremely well-qualified and competent, but in... all of those interactions, only one -- Melissa Kucinski -- made clear that she saw me not just as a case file number, but as a human being. I told Melissa about my situation -- what was happening, and my uncertainty/total lack of knowledge about how to proceed -- and her first response was not to launch into legalese or detachedly quote her hourly rate, but to acknowledge my pain and tell me how sorry she was to hear what I was going through. That meant the world to me. She spent ample time patiently answering my many questions and give me a basic idea of how the process would unfold -- all before I hired her, or even committed to doing so. That same blend of kindness, empathy, and incredible professional skills/expertise that stood out so strikingly on that first phone call would come to characterize the entirety of my experience with Melissa. She's brilliant, she's thorough, she's fair, she's clear-headed, she's caring, she's unflinchingly honest, she's generous with her time, and she's hard-working. In short, Melissa Kucinski is everything I could have possibly hoped for in a lawyer, and far more. I would never wish a painful divorce like mine on any other person. But they happen -- and if I'm glad for anything about the experience, it's that I had someone like Melissa Kucinski to guide me through it, advocate on my behalf, and reach a resolution that protected me and my best interests as I began the difficult process of rebuilding my life. I cannot fully express my gratitude to Melissa Kucinski, nor can I recommend her highly enough.
