Top rated Lawyer

Mykell Messman is amazing. I originally started with another lawyer and was getting nowhere. Messman was highly recommended to me by several sheriff deputies who had seen her in action. She is brutally honest which I respected. She didnt try to make me spend my hard earned money in areas that werent ...unnecessary. I was going through an extremely difficult divorce with a sociopath. Custody, child support and harassment were huge issues I had been dealing with. Messman resolved everything and was able to negotiate EVERYTHING I wanted in one single mediation. She does not play around and sees right through the B.S.. We were able to completely avoid going to court and paying tens of thousands because of her skills. Messman was a bit more expensive than my previous attorney but you get what you pay for. Don’t make the mistake of paying less because you will get less in return. Thank you Mykell for everything you did. I feel the weight of the world has been lifted off of me. Thank you for keeping me and my child’s best interest in mind.

Amazing Lawyer!!!!!!

I have had 3 lawyers and she was by far the best. Spent countless hours working on my case. Always made me feel at ease. Mykell and her team were always on top of everything. If she was at court or busy someone ALWAYS responded. She got me more time with my children and got my child support taken car...e of. She knows her stuff and is extremely knowledgeable of what I was to expect. Prepared me for every single outcome possible. Detail oriented and a stickler with everything. She would not set me up to fail. I wanted my children more and I got them more. I'd reccomend her to anyone. She's a pitbull and goes above and beyond. No need to stress with her in your corner. I thank God she is my lawyer. I'll keep her on retainer.

Horrible lawyer

She worked my case on child support and we never collected money. It would have shoe cause after show cause. Horrible then the last lawyer did it for 700, instead of her 5000 credit that went over. Horrible lawyer.

Highly Recommend!!!!!!! *Smart Agrressive Successfull*

Mykell Messman has been my lawyer for about 6 months now. She represented me on my child custody and child support case. She literally nailed everything down and got everything I wanted done. We walked out the court room together with huge smiles on our faces. She stayed with me for almost the whole ...entire time. She had other cases & was leaving time to time to check in court rooms for her other clients but she always came back & got the job done, kept me updated all the time. (that tells you right there that many client's hire her for a reason) She is very busy woman but an excellent multitasker. She is very aggressive and intelligent. She is successful in almost all her cases! She is willing to work with you on her prices. Her work is amazinggg! Trying to get ahold of her over the phone was abit of a challenge because she was always in court but, at the end, She defiantly made it up! Also her paralegals would help you the best way they could if you couldn't get ahold of her. Therefore, I highly recommend her! Now, I can finally get all this past me and focus on my family. My daughter got the help that she needed and deserves. I want to thank you for accomplishing this for me! Life changing experience for sure! Thank you soo much Mykell! You have nooo idea how much this means to me. I'd choose you to represent me over & over again! -Catherine & Anna The Streible Family
