Swift and Thorough

Miss Ivey is extremely organized and assertive. She met with me and became familiar with my case very quickly. She also was attentive to not only closing this case with the best possible disposition, but she was also attentive to future education and career goals. She immediately offered me sound adv...ice on what may need to be done on my part to earn a dismissal, which I completed and provided her with the documentation concerning same. My initial court date was scheduled during a time in which she would be on vacation and she was upfront with letting me know that an associate would be taking her place in court that day. Better yet, she quickly contacted me and informed me that she would be requesting a dismissal prior to leaving for vacation, which was also a week prior to the scheduled court date. Better still...I received a phone call from her stating that my case had been dismissed and I am eligible for an expunction. I will be consulting her for assistance with a petition for expunction. Melissa Ivey is articulate and poised yet still approachable and comfortable to talk to. I highly recommend her services. (Enjoy your vacation!)

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.
