Took my $3,000 and will not reply to me

I was in the middle of a divorce and going through foreclosure on my home. I hired her via her rep Dena Tribbett, who was referred via a friend and paid the $3,000 fee. I informed them that I wanted a short sale (I guessed) and I was not made aware that I had the option to do a loan modification on... the home. I have now completed the loan modification paperwork with my lender and the 3 trial payments. I have reached out to them to refund my money and they will not respond. I even told them to take out what fees they needed for the emails and 1 phone call that I was given. No answer.

Melissa Karp, Esq, Family Law

I reached out to Ms. Karp for assistance in a Marriage Dissolution (Divorce). Her initial assistance was pro bono where she pointed me in the right direction for things I could do myself. Later, when we found out it could take ~120 days for my case to get in front of a judge, she then provided exce...llent support to get on a court schedule within a couple of weeks. During that time she provided invaluable assistance identifying forms that were required. The entire hearing went as smooth as could be expected thru her highly professional leadership. Additionally, she provided leadership in executing a Quit Claim Deed, which also went quite smoothly. I found Ms. Karp by performing a Google search of Family Law attorney's. It was my good fortune that she was available to assist me in these regards.

She ended my nightmare!

Melissa negotiated a settlement in my long running divorce battle in a matter of weeks. Something no one was able to do, I wish I would have had her from the beginning as this would have been resolved months ago. Melissa is very professional and accessible. I highly recommend her for any of your lega...l needs!

Melissa Karp is personable and very dedicated to her clients

Attorney Melissa Karp is currently litigating a Foreclosure on my behalf. When my ex-husband abandoned me and our daughter, I was unable to manage the mountain of debt I was left with. Melissa came to my rescue. She helped me create a strategy to get me back on track and I am forever grateful for her... expertise and guidance.
