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.

Master of her Craft

Ms. Strickland recently represented me in my divorce. She was extremely prompt and detailed in her follow up. She is extremely passionate about protecting her clients and will represent you, and your family, with unparalleled excellence. Her knowledge and experience with Georgia Family Law is supe...rior. Ms. Strickland understands the turmoil that divorce can bring upon a family and provides strong emotional support through the process. She continuously checked on me, and my children, to ensure our well being and did so with genuine care. She will fight to do what is best for your family and provides accurate, strong advice. She will walk you through the entire process of what should be expected, leaving no stones unturned. She maintains a very strong handle on your case and there was never a time that she was not able to answer questions or offer practical solutions. I would highly recommend Ms. Strickland for her ability and level of integrity.

Professional and friendly lawyer

Melissa was there with me every step of the way during my divorce. I met with several lawyers before hiring her and chose her because of the immediate connection and trust I felt after we met. I needed someone I could count on and she proved to be the best fit. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone go...ing through the pain of a divorce or separation.
