Melissa Barris Rocks!

From the day I retrained Attorney Melissa Barris to handle my divorce after 22 years of marriage. I felt comfortable and completely confident that she had my best interest at all times. She was very honest about all outcomes, whether it was good or bad. Her paralegal Elettra was always at my disposal... to get information to Melissa and always presented herself in a professional manner. Attorney Melissa Barris always returned my phone calls immediately, always remained calm and professional, and stood by my side until the end. I am extremely happy with the outcome, and will not hesitate to refer future clients to Attorney Melissa Barris. Melissa is AWESOME and ROCK like no other!!!
