Aggressive and Competent with a personal touch

If you are looking for someone who is well prepared and has a string knowledge of the law then Melanie ishould be your choice for legal representation. She is dedicated to her clients and promptly returns their phone calls and makes sure they are informed of the status of their litigation. She is hon...est and realistic in her advice to clients as they go through a most trying time in their lives. These important traits make her the first person I'd call to assist with my bankruptcy needs.

A most consciencious lawyer

I have worked with many attorneys on various issues; however Melanie has been the only lawyer who after the initial consult and retaining, will actually still be available to you, and not treat you like a nuisance. Quite simply, she cares about her clients, and is a wonderful human being. You will be... hard pressed to find another sincere, professional, knowlegable and honest attorney, who does treat a client simply as an income source. She will thoroughly work your case, and do all that is right to get fairness in a system that all too often seems only fair for people with deep pockets. If you have a bankruptcy case and want to get it resolved without a constant run around, then call Melanie Sacks.

Unbelievable !

I met Melanie Sacks back in 2009; which was the year she became our bankruptcy attorney. My husband and I filed for a Ch.13 Bankruptcy, the 5 year plan; and, I must say that Melanie and her team went above and beyond in helping us, let me explain. Melanie had to file several motions on our behalf thr...oughout the years, we experienced the 3Ds, divorce, more debt, and death. One year we filed for a divorce, the next year we both had cancer, and within the same year; my ex husband died, which left me to carry the burden of the bankruptcy alone. Well, at least that's what I thought! Melanie was there for me every step of the way until the payment was made. Any and every document(s) that was needed to be filed, she was on top of it, or her paralegal. Every phone call(s), I made, or questions I had, she answered, and I had a lot of them. She's more than just my attorney, she came my friend. If you're looking for a strong, and, smart attorney, who also has compassion; Melanie J. Sacks is the attorney for you. She know her business!

Personal/Friendly

When I was looking for an attorney to represent me in my Bankrupty filing I did some research and also asked a friend from work who he had used in his recent bankruptcy. After meeting with another attorney and then with Melanie I quickly realized that she would be the attorney I would use for my bank...ruptcy. She answered all of my questions without any hesitation or need to get information from a paralegal in her office. That is what I found when I was meeting with other attorneys. Melanie took the time to assuage any concerns I had by going over all of my information in our first meeting. She really took the time to understand my whole situation before giving me her proffesional advice on whether or not I should file, and if I did, which chapter I should file under. Melanie's staff is very friendly and really makes you feel at ease while going through such a stressful process. Carol is very easy to work with and has a great attitude. Ashley, Melanie's legal assistant is always there to help with getting all of my information organized and ready to turn into the Trustee. Ashley is one of those people that just seem to brighten your day no matter what. Filing a bankruptcy can be the worst experience that someone has to deal with in their life but Melanie and her staff make the process bearable. Everyone in her office are very easy going and not stuffy like you might find in another firm's office. They don't make you feel like an outcast because you find yourself in this situation. All of her staff, especially Melanie are very easy to work. I would reccommend them to anyone looking for a bankruptcy attorney!!!

Snake in the grass

I have no idea why these reviews are so good. My experience has been HORRIBLE! And so has the experiences of other clients of hers. She's super nice and helpful at first, but once she's gotten your money she falls off the grid. She won't return calls or emails very well, if at all. She messed up impo...rtant information in my filing and made it worse. Hire someone else. Seriously...you'll regret it if you don't.
