Melissa C. Mihok

I have never in my life ever written a review about a lawyer. I intend to file a bar complaint about Melissa Mihok. I have never been more stressed out in my entire life and disgusted with the behavior of someone I trusted to take care of me. DO NOT, ever ever hire Melissa to manage anything legal fo...r you unless you're willing to lose everything because that is exactly how it feels to hire Melissa Mihok. I could not believe the lack of professionalism she exhibts. At one point I actually wondered if she was truly was licensed to practice. My legal care has been severely neglected, and she has actually jeopardized my case. What a complete and utter nightmare. I cannot wait to be done and over with on my case, I cannot stress enough - DO NOT HIRE MELISSA, DON'T DO IT. IT IS NOT WORTH THE ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE OF WORKING WITH HER.

This attorney was difficult to reach and, although contracted by my union in September, did not begin working on the case with me until months later. I had to enlist the help of a union representative to get her to respond. She seemed to follow a template-style procedure and did not seem to consider... the matters in my individual case.

Melissa Mihok recently represented me in a legal matter.She immediately put me at ease, answered all of my questions and was always available for me. One of the things I'm most happy about is Melissa Mihok responds to my text messages and emails timely. She is always prepared for hearings, depo's a...nd the unexpected. She will always be my "go to"attorney in any future legal matters. Melissa Mihok will give you 150% of everything she has as your attorney.

After having several consultations and being told sorry unfortunately we cant take your case. I was forced to be my own lawyer. This is how the system is set up to make the employee loose. After almost a year of working my case, I went searching again for an attorney. I met with Melissa and she took ...my case. I could not believe I had heard her correctly. That day in her office gave me hope to fight my employers with their round the clock attorneys. Melissa has been very professional in providing and guiding me on how to approach all the phases thus far in my case. She responds quickly when I call or email any questions or concerns. There is also a website Melissa provided that I access with my user name and password which allows me to review everything that has happened in my case to include documents, phone calls and billing invoivces. This site also allows me to communicate wirh Melissa and her legal asssistant and is secure enough to also pay any fees that are charged monthly. Melissa is very reasonable with her fees and breaks down on my monthy invoice item by item what she did, how much time spend and the total cost for each item. With this I am always abreast of what she has done on my case and how much I will owe. This makes me comfortable and allows me to trust her with my case and monies spent. If it were not for Melissa, I would have given up on my case a long time ago. I am grateful she decided to take a chance with my case. With her knowledge, skills and professionalism, I am confident she is fighting for me to win my case.

Ms. Mihok lacked the knowledge to handle my case, which involved a specific area of employment law, but failed to inform me of such. She seriously undervalued my case and scoffed at me when I tried to explain why I valued it differently from her. She refused to include the parent company of the entit...y I was suing because she stated it was not listed as the parent company, although the sale of the entity I was suing to the parent company was widely covered in the news and business media, copies of which I provided her. She refused to look into the discrepancy. She told me my case had been filed, then three months later emailed me to apologize that it had not been filed, as she had stated, but had been found on her secretary's desk, unfiled. Secondary to these and other inadequacies, I was forced to seek the advice of another attorney. She was informed of this and out of courtesy offered the opportunity to remain on the case. She refused. I had to pay my new attorney to re-write and re-file her original filings. At the time of our separation I was under the impression our account was current and paid. However, months later she presented me with a substantial bill, stating that if I did not pay it she would send my account to collections and file a lien against my case, which she did. She refused to provide me with an accounting of her bill that I could access. Terrible lawyer, terrible experience.
