David W. Melnyk

I hired David Melnyk to represent my husband in a federal/state case because his pre-sentence credit was incorrect and we tried to get it done but it was a very frustrating issue because when dealing with duel custody state will say one thing federal (bop) will say something else. So I hired David ...and he had to deal with state, federal and me and always maintained a professional relationship with all involved. We went back to court and was unsuccessful but David didn't STOP he continued to try other routes and was able to get us our jail credit we was due. So I would recommend him and say he is very friendly, professional, and will work for you, and he makes himself available for his clients, he drove twice 2 1/2 hours drive one way to sit down and talk with my husband, and how many lawyers do that??? Just to make sure he was doing what my husband wanted. He is the right choice for anyone and I very highly recommend him.

I paid Mr Melnyk $2800.00 in June of 2019 to handle the custody case of my granddaughters. Once i gave him the money he never answered a phone call, never returned an email or a text message. He never filed a single paper, never showed up in court. Nothing. He took my $2800 and never did anything t...o earn it. I would not recommend him to anyone for anything. He took my money and did absolutely nothing to earn it. He still has not returned a single call or message.

I paid him to handle a traffic violation which seems to be easy for any lawyer. Took him 3 months before even contacting me after paying him. He never showed up to court for me and it's impossible to reach him. Horrible service. I'll probably end up paying another lawyer to clean up his mess. A waste... of time and money. I've read worse reviews on him and I may take further action to bring justice to everyone else he's screwed over!

Awful lawyer. I got a Driving under suspension 2nd offense ticket. I was referred to him by another lawyer. He charged me a grand and DID NEXT TO NOTHING. You can never get him on the phone and he won't return calls or emails. At our consultation he said it'd probably be easy to get the charge droppe...d if I got everything straight with the DMV. Well I did that (and emailed him all the proof) and 2 months go by with nothing from him. He finally called me 2 days before trial and said he could not plea down the charge because the cop was being "a hard ass". I said to him "well what did I pay you for? I could go plead guilty and it would have saved me $1,000." He then called me back the next day and said he got it down to first offense. He couldn't even tell me what the consequences were for that! I had to take it and ended up paying a fine and having my DL suspended again for 3 months. Then he never even showed up for court. It was at 2pm. At 10 am he called me to tell me he OK'd it with the judge for him no to be there. He had a doctor's appointment. Really? Total Shyster.
