Excellent Experience

It's a daunting task ro search for a really good attorney. You're worrying about fees, are they worth it? I can certainly say, hands down that Ms Wilson is a great attorney. I would recommend her to anyone needing her service. She is down to earth, personable and knows the law. I had the best exper...ience, her team is great to work with. Martha was awesome, anytime I had questions, she made sure I got the answer. Never was I left wondering. Martha kept me in the know! Ms. Wilson was sharp, very attentive, organized and well prepared in the court room. Also, I felt she was very cognizant of my time and money. She kept conversations on track and to the point. Thanks Melissa and Martha!

Mrs. Wilson and her legal team are an Absolutely amazing group to work with!! They were able to always answer any and all my questions regarding my children’s legal name change. Everything was done in a timely manner and very professional! Definitely recommend the group for legal needs!!

Very thorough and professional

I would highly recommend Melissa for any legal needs in the area of divorce, which is the area for which I retained her. She was very knowledgable and thorough. I would use her again.

BEST Choice

I recently just went through a nasty divorce/ family court case. My ex did everything he could to make me look bad. I called Melissa's office on 11/15/2016 and hired her we spoke and went over everything. Melissa and her staff made me feel comfortable. My divorce went from November 2016 and was comp...leted on September 2017 with all the paperwork being signed off by the judge. Melissa and her staff knew their stuff and how to handle my case. Melissa won my case for me. I have my son and we couldn't be happier. If I ever need a lawyer again I will call Melissa and her staff.

Divorce

I couldn't ask for a better attorney. Ms. Wilson is extremely knowledgeable and AMAZING in the courtroom. She was very responsive to my questions and gives outstanding advice. I can't thank her enough for helping me through this life changing experience. Her staff was polite and supportive of my need...s. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a family law attorney.
