      Review Melissa Nelson

      Best lawyer

      Posted by

      Melissa is the best lawyer, extremely knowledgeable and willing to help. Helped me get out of felony drug charges with a 6 month diversion program because of her I still have a clear record. She even called to follow up and check on me months later to see how I did with it all. She truly cares and knows exactly what she's doing.
