60% percent of marriages end up in divorce. One has to understand that protecting yourself and kids is important, but also has to realize that goods acquired have to be protected as well.

More Than Just a Great Lawyer

Going through a divorce was one of the hardest and most emotional experiences of my life, and I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through it without my attorney’s support and guidance. From day one, they treated me with compassion, patience, and genuine care while still being incredibly profes...sional and strong when it mattered most. They always made me feel heard, protected, and informed throughout the entire process. What could have been an overwhelming situation felt much more manageable because I knew I had someone fighting for me every step of the way. I’m beyond grateful for everything they did for me and I highly recommend them to anyone going through such a difficult time

GREAT WORK ETHIC AND SERVICE!!

Melissa has truly been great as my lawyer. She supported me through so much and took the heavy stress of divorce off my shoulders. Her determination to resolve my case really impressed me. I’m very happy with her, her team, and the work they did.

Melissa’s Review

The best divorce firm in Miami! I went to their Doral office (Suite 450) and was so impressed by the level of service. Being able to communicate in my native language (Portuguese/Spanish) made a world of difference in understanding the complex legal steps. Melissa is sharp, experienced, and really fi...ghts for her clients' best interests. The new office in Downtown Doral is beautiful and very welcoming. If you need a family lawyer who actually cares, this is the place.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
