Melanie is extremely professional and truly cares about her clients. I needed information regarding my business and what would happen in the case of divorce. She was able to put me in the position to protect my assets and family. I also referred her to a friend who she took great care of. I highly recommend her to anybody who is in need!
Melanie graduated Cum Laude from Stetson University, after having obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology from the State University of New York. She is happily married with three children. In her limited free time, she enjoys reading, camping, and going to the beach. Additionally, Melanie volunteers for Meals on Wheels.

Excellent and Highly Competent
Not only did Melanie handle my case professionally and competently, she was able to help me see past the emotional aspects of my situation and deal with the financial and legal things as needed. Melanie offered solutions to sticking points in the case that I would have never considered. Also, she was good at listening to my complaints, frustrations and ideas which I believe helped us come to satisfactory conclusion of my case. While the term 'satisfactory' may sound a bit mediocre, from the beginning I did not have very high hopes of coming out with very much. Melanie's experience and sensitivity to my situation made a difficult process not only bearable, but reduced my anxiety helping me to focus on important family related decisions. Both Melanie and her assistant Lisa were a pleasure to work with.

Pleasure to work with
Melanie was a pleasure to work with. I truly appreciate all of her advice and guidance through the court processes. It was a very scary situation, and Nelanie was able to give me some relief by thoroughly explaining the process and ensuring my voice was heard.

Prenup Documents
Melanie came highly recommended and was very thorough and highly professional in getting this document put together. Her negotiating skills against a very tough lawyer were outstanding. Cant say enough good things about the job she did for us.

Professional with a Heart
Let me preface this review with the fact that I am writing this on behalf of my 89 year-old mother who was actually the client. The adjectives and ratings are hers. I am merely the scribe.
In our dealings with Mrs. Quattrone she was consistently professional. She made everything as easy for us as possible, especially considering my mother's limited mobility. Mrs. Quattrone was very organized. She thoroughly knew her material. Her patience and clarity in explaining everything was outstanding. Mrs. Quattrone's compassionate and cooperative nature made the experience of drawing up a will as painless as possible.

Effective, but like talking to a wall
Melanie was incredibly personable during my consult with her. I believe she worked hard for us, and was very organized, but due to absolutely zero bedside manner, I started questioning whether the divorce could have been finalized with less time and money. I felt judged at times.
Response from Melanie QuattroneNovember 22, 2023
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your acknowledgment of my hard work and organization. I am sorry about the way you felt. The divorce process can be difficult and I strive to progress toward a resolution efficiently, with the least stress, drama, and cost incurred by my clients as possible. I will take your comments to heart and try even harder to let my clients know that they are supported and that I sincerely care about them and the outcome of their case. -MQ

Family Law Issue
I have had several lawyers in the past. I retained Ms Quattrone for a family law issue. As nice as Melanie is, she was by far and away the most unqualified attorney I have had. She was not knowledgeable about the situation legally, gave me very poor advice and was not aggressive in my defense.
Ms Quattrone cost me both financially and personally because of her inadequate representation. If I knew today what I know now I would not have retained Quattrone FamIly Law.

Response from Melanie QuattroneOctober 30, 2020
As an attorney, I am constrained by the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar from responding in detail, but I will state that it is my belief that these comments present neither a fair nor accurate picture of what occurred. It is my practice to thoroughly discuss options, and the potential benefits and/or risks of each, with my clients throughout their family law process.

Terrible Experience
I hired Atty Quattrone based on the reviews on this site. I finalized the retention paperwork the week before Christmas and was told I should have something the next week. The next week I called just to find out she took the week off. Ok, no big deal, I get it. I did not receive the first document until Jan 10th, so close to 3 weeks. It took another week to get it the way we discussed. I sent a message asking if the documents had been sent to my ex for review and received no response. I found out 4 days later that they never sent him the paperwork. When I told her that I wanted my money and paperwork back so that I can move on, all I got were excuses for not doing her job. We went back and forth arguing before I finally called the Bar Association. It was not until I told her that I did this that she finally sent me my information back. My new attorney informed me of a parenting class that Ms. Quattrone never told me about in the 1.5-month timeframe that I was working with her. This other attorney also got everything done in about a week including getting everything filed. He showed me it was possible. Atty Quattrone clearly does not care enough about her clients to take care of them appropriately.

Response from Melanie QuattroneFebruary 20, 2017
I’m sorry that you were dissatisfied with the time frame of your document preparation. I do care about my clients and strive to provide personal attention and timely service. In family law, strong emotions and turmoil are often involved. Circumstances can arise and change rapidly, which sometimes require diversion of my attention to urgent matters. It was not my intention to make you feel unvalued as a client, and I assure you that you weren’t. I appreciate your feedback and will keep your comments in consideration as I continue to work hard on behalf of my clients. I wish you and your family the best.
