This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Exceptional lawyer

I'm very thankful to have found Melissa. I was being sued by a family member and it was an absolutely gruesome experience. The lawyer I initially had was an incompetent buffoon. I had tremendous anxiety every time we spoke and would literally be sweating. That lawyer took up my time with long phone ...calls that did zero to help me and and she wasted my resources pretty badly by referring to me to her friend, a trust attorney, who I paid thousands to just to find out what an hour long google search could have turned up. Getting ripped off by attorneys is too common. It's a jungle out there. Finding Melissa was the opposite experience from top to bottom. She was always available to talk but my own questions determined the length of the call so I never once felt she kept me on the phone unnecessarily while the meter ticked away. She was always to the point and told me what I needed to hear with the utmost respect without being scary. I always felt better after talking to her. She advised me to go to my own hearing which was amazing advice and that really paid off. The person suing me hid behind his lawyer and didn't attend. Melissa always listened to me and went above and beyond to help me. It was such a complex and horrible situation involving family members and a mess of a trust that was crafted years ago along with the personal element involved in such a case and being harassed and lied about. Melissa was able to hold so many things in her brain at the very same time that honestly I have never met anyone who could do this as well as her. She's even-keeled and understands the big picture of your case and the legal system in general very well. She's honestly amazing and you will not get more or better service from any other lawyer.
