Excellent Representative, very personal and professional

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.

My appreciation for her expertise and patience

I would gladly recommend Melissa's care, concern, and outstanding patience in her profession. Her professionalism and ability to remain calm, focused and provide me with a sense of calmness has benefitted me immensely. During a time of upheaval in my professional career and during a time of emotional... unrest for me personally and my closest friends and relatives, she has remained loyal, and committed to providing us with the best advice, and outstanding service possible. Even when my own patience has been tested and I have been hurt by the professional experiences that existed in my dilemma, Melissa has endured and has provided us with a sense of patience that I certainly benefited from when, perhaps, I didn't deserve. I am naïve in the legal sense of understanding the legal system of course and I tested her own resolve and her own patience, but she remained professional and she continued to provide me with a sense of well-being and a sense of reassurance that has given me a sense of comfort and calmness at a time when I could always use it in my professional circumstances. I appreciate her loyalty, her commitment and her willingness to overcome a client's emotional turmoil and she allowed me to vent, but she also reminded me about the goal and the objective professionally. I would gladly recommend her for her trust, her knowledge and her sense of understanding that simply guides clients through difficult moments in their lives.

Rescue Team

Atttorney Mihok exceeds requirements of a Union-backed lawyer. She is definitely a team player. She keeps me informed of each case status, and respects my input at all levels of the adjudication of my cases. She has excellent tactical oral and written communication skills, and strong analytical sk...ills to devise award-winning solutions. Despite my being distressed at times because of hearings after hearings, Attorney Mihok is always encouraging me to stay positive and to maintain my professionalism at all levels of my trials.

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.
