Thank you

Days before trial I was in need of professional help in a hurry. Melissa McDowell Gutridge was able to meet with me, actually listen to what I had to say, provide legal advice and prepare me for every facet of what ultimately led to a dominant position in the courtroom. Melissa McDowell Gutridge was... very keen, and applied an extensive amount of practical knowledge to my case. I thought I was a lost cause before meeting at her office. With her fast acting professionalism and vigor for law I was able to proceed confidently and efficiently through my hearing. I'll let everyone know that I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future. Thank you!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
