Melissa Nicole Hawkins

Hello my name is Marcos I was married for 3 in a half years, and I recently filed for a divorce by my self, once I noticed I needed an attorney I looked up Ms. Melissa on google and she walk me through my entire process of how everything would go, I was very satisfied with how she handled my case. I ...was finalized in 3 months.

When I met Mrs. Hawkins I was in desperate need. I was about to break down. She was not only my attorney, she was my therapist. Counseled me and gave me some great advise. The services she provide made me feel at ease with my situation. I will say that her work was better than outstanding, she made s...he I was informed on every aspect of the case and requested very little from me. I really do appreciate everything that she did for me and the positive outcome on my case was very rewarding. If in the future I need an Attorney for anything she will be the person I go to and if she cant handle my case I feel confident that she will lead me in the right direction. Thank you so much for everything .

Hire Melissa Hawkins immediately!! I can not say enough good things about Melissa and the guidance she gave me during my divorce. Let me start by saying that I research every aspect of my life. So naturally for my divorce I did just that - I talked to family, friends and coworkers while researchi...ng representation online. I wanted to better understand the divorce process and pick an excellent lawyer. I scheduled 3 interviews with perspective lawyers - the first very well known attorney stood me up. The receptionist wasn't even present during my 45 minute wait. The second spent my consultation bad mouthing other lawyers. I settled on the third. Once I paid my retainer I swore my lawyer worked for my Ex-husband! He even got irate and yelled at me during a meeting because I wouldn't concede to my Ex-husband's demands and I dared question his advisement! Needless to say I was distraught. An already impossible time with 3 kids in tow being made that much worse. I fired him. Fast forwarding to meeting Melissa. Words can't express the sense of relief I felt from my first consultation thru the conclusion of my divorce. She is warm, personable yet professional. Never did I feel uninformed about my case. She ensured that at all times I knew the exact status of my case. She and her staff communicate every update. I always felt welcome to call or email if a question arose. Responses were immediate and detailed. And rest assured, she is professionally aggressive in the best way! Once you communicate your desires and you both agree on a course of action she truly goes to work for you! Another plus? You never have to wonder about how your retainer is being spent! She will clearly communicate how your retainer is being used. You will also receive monthly statements with detailed breakdowns. Last but not least I didn't feel cut off once the divorce was final. Again she made it clear that I could always reach out to her not only for any future legal issues, but she expressed that I should reach out to her if there was even the slightest breach to the content of the decree. She has a client for life in me.

I went to Melissa with a doozy of a case. My ex was determined to turn what should have been a simple uncontested divorce into an epic courtroom showdown. Melissa was compassionate, reassuring, and approachable from our first meeting until the day I signed the papers. Melissa didn't try to baffle ...me with legalese and she never pressured me into taking a course of action that I wasn't in favor of - although she was diligent in advising me against certain decisions. She clearly and patiently explained all of my options and possible outcomes at every stage of the process in a way that I could understand. She was honest about what worked in my favor and what didn't. She was sensitive to my need to make this process quick and affordable and worked hard to advocate for me. In the end, I got a far better outcome than I could have hoped for and that was because Melissa went to bat for me. She knew the law inside and out and had solid knowledge of the court system in my county. She used that knowledge to guide me towards a positive outcome and really put my ex's opposing counsel in his place. I'd definitely recommend Melissa, especially to those who are nervous about being ripped off by flashy or overly pushy attorneys. Melissa is down to earth but extremely professional, aggressive when she needs to be, honest, and fair.

During a rather chaotic period I was referred to Ms Hawkins. After listening to me ramble, she deciphered my challenge and guided me to separate my wants and needs. I was kept informed of my case and received encouragement as need. I am thankful for her knowledge and assistance. I know who I will... call in the future should I need legal advice.
