Posted by Greg | April 27, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

My case went better than I expected!

I contacted Melissa because of the positive information I heard about her experience in town with time-sharing agreements. She was super easy to talk to, listened to everything I had to say about my situation and what it was I was hoping to achieve with my case, and always took action or helped me to... progress my case in notifying me of the next steps ahead of time. At the hearing Melissa helped me to reach an agreement that was more than I had hoped or expected, and helped me avoid a lengthy stand-off by advising the best action to take. I'm happy I hired this attorney because she helped me through a difficult time and stood by my side the entire way. I would highly recommend Melissa!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
