Melissa C. Mihok

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.
