Melinda Faye Johnson

Review Title: Lack of Commitment and Care in My Custody Case I had a deeply disappointing experience with Melinda Johnson at Johnson Law Firm located Conyers. Ga. I hired her to help me secure custody of my daughter, a case that was extremely important to me and my child’s future. Unfortunat...ely, Atty Johnson showed little concern, effort, or urgency in handling it. Communication was terrible—I had to constantly follow up for updates, and when I did receive responses, they were vague and unhelpful, right before the court date. Instead of providing strong legal guidance, I felt like my case was an afterthought i.e. such as missed deadlines, lack of court preparation, or failure to present strong arguments. What upset me the most was the complete lack of empathy and dedication toward ensuring the best outcome for my daughter. Many conversations materialized into a condescending and accusatory meeting with me. It became so apparent of her thoughts, that one day I had to ask her “Do you even Like me”. Her reply was, “Well sometimes you come off as Angry”. As a black man today’s climate, her response was very alarming”. As a lawyer, not being able to distinguish the difference between someone being anger vs. Someone being passionate about the wellbeing of their child is beyond my comprehension. The lack of cultural sensitivity is also an issue with this firm. Custody cases are not just legal battles; they shape a child's future. I expected my lawyer to fight for me and my child, but instead, I felt ignored and unsupported throughout the entire process. I would not recommend Melinda Johnson of the Johnson Law Firm to anyone seeking a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and their families. If you need an attorney who will be proactive, responsive, and genuinely invested in your case, I suggest looking elsewhere.
