Melissa Fried simplified everything for me!

Melissa was the constant professional in handling my lawsuit. What could have been a time consuming and difficult process for myself, was made simple and uncomplicated by Melissa and her team. She went out of her way to keep me in line and up to date on all the details involved. I would use her again... and definitely recommend her to anyone.

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.
