Melissa C. Mihok

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 took on a very difficult case, fighting against a large government entity. The entire process took 4-5 years and required persistence on her part to make any sort of progress. She kept me abreast of any new information and did not waiver on her position, regardless of the size of the agency... she was battling. As a client, it made the stress bearable.

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.
