Family Law

Working with Ms. Melton was a great experience. I had interviewed with several attorneys in the area before, hiring Ms. Melton. I needed someone that would be flexible with my schedule since I work long hours. Ms. Melton made this process extremely easy. I was able to communicate through text, emails..., and calls after hours. Ms. Melton built trust with me, and I valued her knowledge and advise given which solved this case. I would recommend anyone searching for an attorney to call Ms. Melton office. They are very polite and professional.

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.

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.

Disappointed

Our 1st day in court she came & pulled me out of court room & took me to a little room downstairs & sits down with this man & starts talking to him asking him questions then looks at me & says "well what do u think?" I looked at her confused for a moment & the realized she had me confused with anot...her client. I thought he was an attorney for my ex husband & he thought I was her paralegal. She gots facts mixed up during court & later when I pointed them out in the paperwork she got mad & started yelling at me. I would have fired her but I had already paid her & couldn't afford to start over after 10 months.
