Melissa Suzanne Vanzile

I am incredibly grateful for Melissa VanZile's professionalism and dedication shown throughout my custody matter. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of strong and strategic representation. I changed my representation from a different firm a few months before trial due to the ...prior attorney’s lack of responsiveness and forward movement in my case. I am extremely glad that I made that decision. From day one, Mrs. VanZile took my case seriously and invested the time to fully understand the facts and talk me through the perceived challenges I had as a father fighting to maintain 50/50 custody. In a high-conflict matter, her steady and professional approach made a significant difference. From start to finish, Mrs. VanZile was wonderful to work with and her expertise gave me confidence during a stressful time. I appreciate her commitment to ensuring that all of the details were handled thoroughly and with care. Mrs. VanZile is a fierce advocate. Working with her was absolutely the right move for me, and I remain deeply grateful for her dedication and skill that helped me walk away with what I wanted - maintaining 50/50 custody of my daughter.

I was a father who had originally agreed to share custody with my ex. The arrangement was in place, but I had not signed. My ex had moved, had the kids in new schools, but was making decisions that I believed were not in the kids' best interests. I had retained one attorney at the cost of several tho...usand dollars but was dissatisfied with the progress. I met with Mrs. VanZile, and within minutes she had an understanding of my situation and the type of person (my ex) I was dealing with. I always felt like I had someone fighting in my corner. At trial, she was able to expose my ex's motives and ultimately I was awarded a change of custody. My coworkers, who came to the hearing for support, witnessed Mrs. VanZile's performance and a couple have reached out to me in the years that followed for her name and contact info. I gladly share. My kids are young adults now, and the conflicts have long since settled. Your experience may vary, but as for me, I am grateful for the help I received.

Melissa has represented me before, during, and after my complex and contentious divorce case from an abusive ex spouse. She is professional, prompt, organized, and detailed and always advises and explains options and possible outcomes. In numerous court hearings (including custody, property divisio...n, appeals, support) she has been a skilled, poised and effective litigator, fighting for the best possible outcome for me and my child despite the complexity of the situation and numerous changes in counsel for the opposing party. Compassionate, consistent, and professional, I highly recommend Melissa.
