Beyond helpful

I recently had an appointment to see Mrs. Melton. Unfortunately, due to a conflict of interest, she was unable to help me. She went above and beyond what she could do to steer me in the right direction and referred me to someone who could help. She did a wonderful job in helping me and giving me hope... on a case that I thought was lost. I can never thank her enough for her help. She truly works like no other attorney that I been to and makes sure that her clients had the best representation that she can give. I will recommend her to anyone that needs legal help.

hard working and great communication

Ms. Melton went over and above representing my interests in a custody case. She listened and worked hard to help me resolve the issues and do what was needed to take care of my children. She asked a lot of questions about my situation, and advised me on the information that I needed to gather to p...repare for my case She always returned calls, responded to my requests, and clearly explained everything to me. I would highly recommend her services.

Very Pleased and Thankful!

We hired Mrs. Melton to represent our son. She exceeded our expectations. She worked very hard, and was able to get charges DROPPED. She made us feel as if she really cares about her clients. She even rearranged her schedule to get us in for consultation (due to the extreme short notice we were given...). We are so thankful we found her and highly recommend her!

Experience and dedication

I have known Ms. Melton for years and you could not ask for a better attorney nor one with more experience. I have watched her in the court room stand toe to toe, against the biggest names in the business of this area. She is a strong woman who will fight when it is needed, she doesn't let politics n...ot big names back her down. She has helped me with many family issues and is the person I turn to when I need legal advice or representation.
