Excellent Attorney

She represented me in a case that I was arrested for and thought for sure I would be sentenced for. My case was not processed for several years until I hired Melinda and it only took two short months until she argued my case and had the charges dissmissed. Thank you Melinda, you are truely a God sent... person, honest and really cares about the people you represent and will fight for our rights! i can never thank you enough or show my appreciation to reflect how I feel at this moment; I hope anyone who sees this review will talk with Melinda and see what she can do for your case.

Experienced and Reliable

I had an assult charge that was dismissed due to her expertise and experience. She held my hand through the entire process and was quick to answer my questions and concerns. She fought on my behalf in a way that I knew she cared. I was very pleased that I had her in my corner.

Single Mom thankful for my lawyer

I'm a single mother of two kids. I was in a bad position this Feb. 2015. I had a failure to appear I didn't know about from a case back in 2013. My family contacted Melinda about me being stuck in jail w a bench warrrent on me. She came to the jail and talked w me about what could be done. And let me... know that she would get my bench warrant lifted right away she stayed in the courthouse for days getting the right people to sign my papers to get me back to my children. She also was a great friend through out the whole thing. She got my case dropped to timed served on April 26, 2015 . She is a wonderful lawyer. I highly recommend her to all. She has a great heart and is good at what she does. Thank u Melinda!!
