Expert in the field

I found Melissa through several reviews online. I was in need of a prenup which was originally from my fiancé’s attorney and she was able to walk me through and make the much needed suggestions. She was always available to either speak on the phone and very quick to respond on email. I felt she ...was empathetic as well as knowledgeable and professional. We were able to come to an agreement for the prenup in a short time and she was reasonable and her rates. I also appreciated her patience concerning my lack of knowledge in this area. God for bid that I’d have to execute down the road, but if I do, I would hire Melissa to represent me.

Best Divorce Attorney in the Atlanta area

Mellissa D. Strickland, not only protected me but got me twice as much money as I had hoped for. She was always calming and voice of reason for me. She did such a good job the other team had to pay Court and Trial Fees, Joint Custody, and Alimony!! Couldn’t have done it with out her. Thanks again... Melissa

So much more than a great attorney

Melissa is the most passionate, caring attorney I know and I come from a family full of them. In a situation that is stressful and upsetting she is such a bright light to guide you through it. She takes the time to know you and will go above and beyond to help you. Even after she was no longer my att...orney she would still call to check on my daughter and I. I wasn't happy about needing a family law attorney but so glad to have met her.

Genuinely caring and honest Attorney for my custody case

Melissa did an awesome job with my case, she was not only upfront and honest with me but she genuinely cared about me as a person and my son as if he were her own. Her honesty kept me from spending more than I would if I had an Attorney who was more concerned about the money than their client. Melis...sa is one who has a heart for her clients which is hard to find in a lawyer these days. We settled my case in February and I’m very happy with how it turned out. Most importantly, my son is happy. I would highly recommend using her!
