Client

Attorney Melanie and her team have been exceptionally outstanding since retaining her for my divorce. Her stance is diligent, and one of great dignity. Her representation has always been “ to the point” and she supports her clients in all capacity. She is not an attorney that will use unnece...ssary tactics to delay your case because she understands the pain and hurt that it places on the children of these divorces. Her commitment and respect to you the client, and the courts as well is by far, top tier. I highly suggest anyone looking for an attorney with integrity, utilize her services. She has been around for quite awhile and she’s not an attorney “out to make a quick buck”. Her overall rating is beyond the stars the you place in these reviews, because Attorney Melanie, and her team, “still operate with high morals, ethics, principles and within law, so that the system and other unethical lawyers, don’t take advantage of her clients!!!! I could literally write a book on the service and commitment that Melanie and her team have exhibited!

The Best Attorney Ever!!

I would like to give Fenwick Thompson & Associates a huge THANK YOU!! I was referred to Attorney Melanie Fenwick Thompson from an another attorney that couldn’t take my case because of the county I reside in. That attorney referred me to Attorney Melanie Fenwick Thompson. Melanie and her team provide...d me with a quick detailed consultation so that I could explain my case and she explained my options. Her and her team are very thorough and got my divorce moving fast. All our communication was done on there client portal for tracking purposes which really helped. This way if I couldn’t remember something I could always go back to my portal. It took about 8 months to get my divorce finalized and everything was done via email communication through the portal. I never had to appear in court or to Melanie’s office for anything. I would definitely recommend Fenwick Thompson & Associates to anyone who needs a good attorney on their side. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent me. Thanks again! Nyisha Clements

My daughters will know me because of your representation

Prior to hiring Attorney Melanie Thompson, I made the mistake of hiring a cheap lawyer who cost me way more than money. Because I made the mistake of hiring the wrong lawyer, I had over 3 different judges look at me as a person with no dignity, no integrity, no honor, which almost caused me to lose c...ustody of both my children (ages 1 and 4 months). After hiring Attorney Melanie Thompson, she quickly restored my dignity, integrity, and honor to the judge in court. Not only did she take me on as a new client (while she was on vacation), she showed empathy and offered another viewpoint that gave me hope. I had faith in the process and her wisdom as an experienced lawyer. I’m happy to say I have both my children and grateful that they will know me, their mother, the one who birth and cared for them, all thanks to the hard work Attorney Melanie Thompson and her team did to restore my credibility. I am truly grateful! I got more than hope back, I got my life back! Thank you all again 10 times over!!! If you are in a situation where you need a lawyer, don’t go to the cheap lawyers, they could cost you more than just money, they can cost you your life and your freedom. Hire Attorney Melanie Thompson and her team as they are professional and they will provide you impeccable representation.

Excellent attorney

Attorney Fenwick-Thompson and her staff were amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce. She is very knowledge, experienced and professional. Her staff was diligent in processing all paperwork and responding to my inquires in a timely manner. I am so happy I had her ex...pertise to help me navigate the divorce process- she managed my expectation, clearly explained the process/details of my case and was always available. Ultimately with guidance of Attorney fenwick- thompson my divorce was finalized in a timely and very favorable manner. You will be in good hands with this firm.

Above and Beyond my Expectations

I was very fortunate to have the support of Melanie Thompson and her team of efficient Paralegals during my time of stress and need handling my Family Law dispute. My initial consultation was both pleasant and comforting, as I was confident that Melanie would represent me to the fullest extent. I was... amazed at the promptness of getting my documents filed and how organized everyone was in compiling tons of information to effectively prepare for my case. Melanie's knowledge and experience especially shined in the courtroom as she argued my case passionately and thoroughly. Not only did Mrs. Thompson's argument convince the Court to not grant the Plaintiff's unreasonable requests, but she was able to get the previous court order modified in my favor as well. I can't say thank you enough to Fenwick Thompson and Associates for providing such a professional and stress free experience during my time of need. I will definitely contact them again to stand by my side should another family dispute arise. I would, without hesitation, recommend anyone to contact Melanie if they need a Family Law expert to represent them.
