Excellent Attorney
I have used Melissa Sosa's services three times over the past 5 years for various matters related to family law and real property. Her service has always been excellent, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in search of an honest attorney.

Replied last April 12, 2013In reviewing the firm's bankruptcy cases over the suggested time frame, I have not found a single one that wasn't successfully and/or appropriately resolved. Additionally, we have not had any bankruptcy clients with the first or last name of "Davis." If this is indeed an actual former client, please do give me a call directly at 813-917-2486 and I would be more than happy to evaluate what your complaint is. Client satisfaction is always our highest priority!
