Poor performance and communication

When you hire an attorney for a DUI make sure they have the evidence first before paying them. Melinda required $4000 in advance and was able to do nothing with the case once the evidence was in. I hired her for my juvenile son to try to protect him from having a record and at the end of the day s...he wasn't able to do anything more for him other than draw tbd process out. He would have been $4000 ahead to just plead guilty and get the fine. If you are a first time offender, just go pay your fine, do 50 hours of community service, the Suncoast Safety class, MADD course and move on. This attorney did the bare minimum and that is what you get in return...don't bother.

Our firm attempts to provide the best possible representation for all of our clients. This includes fully explaining and detailing possible outcomes of a case before a client retains our firm. It should be noted that individual facts and circumstances of a case ultimately determine the outcome. In some cases, the outcome we are able to negotiate may have been far better than the punishments being sought by the State Attorney's Office (prosecutor), but still not meet the expectation of the client. While we cannot comment specifically on the facts and circumstances of this case due to client confidentiality, we can honestly attest that we extend every possible effort to achieve the best possible outcome for every one of our clients.

The worst lawyer

I hired Melinda for one of my family members and by far she is the worst lawyer I ever hired every time she goes to court she never speaks up always postponing the case. she is on the witness side not her Own client side this is a criminal defense case and I don't think she could handle it. By the lo...oks of this case she is losing. I listened to the reviews on avvo.com but it's a lie she is made out for big cases at all. If I would of known this sooner I would of took my money back and kicked her to the curb. Please if you want a fair case don't hire melinda morris.
