LaFayette GA Attorney

Ms Melton was outstanding in helping me and my partner in resolving a legal issue with our business. We were forced to vacate our building after siging our lease and opening for business. Ms Melton worked diligently on our behalf to get the issue resolved for us and our business is now thriving. If n...ot for her hard work, I'm not sure how long we would have been closed or of our business would have survived.
