"Melanie was the prosecutor on many of my DUI cases while she was with the Forsyth County Solicitor's office. The fact that she now practices with one of the preeminent DUI firms in the country is a testament to her tenacity, intelligence and ethics. She was an approachable, hard working, and reasonable prosecutor and I can only imagine that these traits have carried over to her practice as a criminal defense lawyer."

"Melanie joined our law firm after working for 2.5 years as a Forsyth County Prosecutor. During her time in Forsyth County, Melanie had the opportunity to litigate many cases as a Prosecutor. Melanie brings her trial experience as a prosecutor to court in defense of her clients. She is a great advocate for those she represents and is effective in negotiating in pre-trial situations with officers and prosecuting attorneys. The other side understands that Ms. Ellwanger has been in their shoes and that she is a zealous advocate in a trial setting. These litigation skills coupled with Melanie's networking abilities and knowledge in the area of DUI law make her a formidable opponent to deal with. I strongly endorse this lawyers work."

"When I first Melanie, she just started law practice as a DUI prosecutor in Forsyth County. She was working in one of Georgia's busiest criminal trial courts, and carrying half of a massive calendar of cases. She also was the DUI Court prosecutor, so she handled the toughest calendar of all --- repeat offenders. Some months later, she and I discussed the possiblity of her joining our firm once she had been to trial on lots of contested DUI cases. Over the next 18 months, she tried some very difficult cases against some of Georgia's best criminal defense attorneys. Many of these lawyers had been practicing before Melanie was born! Yet, she won every case! So, I hired her. Melanie brought her excellent courtroom skills and her extensive connections to our office. She continues to announce "ready for trial", but now she is doing it for our clients. She is the full package, and is a prosecutor's worst nightmare,"
