Pretty good lawyer

The law office of Melissa Dacunha recently represented me on a small claim suit. Melissa conduct and communication before, during and after the case was professional and exceptional. She equally provided me information on how to make recovery without demanding for payment. Thank you so much. I am gra...teful.

All she cared about was money, she never finished my case.

I had a horrible experience with Melissa da Cunha. I had a simple child support case and she took 14 months to finished. It only was done bc I couldn't pay anymore and settle with my ex husband. She never finished my case. I felt that she wasn't on my side. She never defended me. All she cared about ...was money. She failed incompletely papers and until today my case is not done yet. I do not recommend Melissa Da Cunha at all. Be careful when you hire a lawyer. Do your research. I didn't and now I'm paying the price :(

Melissa Dacunha is unethical, untruthful & unprofessional

Melissa Dacunha is extremely unprofessional and I’d advise against anyone from obtaining any service she has to offer. I paid a retainer fee of several thousand dollars, and in return she gave absolutely no legal counsel. Melissa Dacunha met with me one time and assured me she would win my civil suit.... After receiving payment from me, she never met with me again, Melissa Dacunha showed up to court late and dressed unprofessional, and also provided no legal counsel. The Police got involved as well as the Florida Bar. Melissa Dacunha tells many lies, and is extremely unprofessional and unethical, to say the least.
