Melissa A. King

I had a complicated case. Melissa never remembered my case, advised me wrong. I even went to have a second opinion from a lawyer that basically said everything she was doing was incompetent. However, instead of doing the smart thing of releasing her, I wrote her a letter about how I felt she wasn't a...ttentive to my case. We had a meeting and I was convinced she'd go forward with my best interest. Which did not happen! I can't express what a horrible job she did at not being present or knowledgeable. Thankfully after being represented by her I was able to get a new lawyer and reverse her horrible representation. Had I been better briefed on my own rights and able to advocate better for myself I would have ran far and rest for better representation!

Melissa king was the worst representative for me in a custody case. She messed up the case numerous times, never had answers, was completely incompetent. Halfway through I even contemplated hiring a new lawyer as the other lawyers I consulted with agreed she didn’t seem to know what she was doing. Sh...e absolutely takes advantage and is the worst lawyer ever. I honestly felt compelled to write the bar about how terrible and unethical she was. Go else where. I could have represented myself. She did absolutely nothing.

From the very beginning I was misinformed. I fought the whole time to get her to pay attention to anything. She wasn't knowledgeable or responsive. I constantly didn't know what was going on with my case. She would make decisions all in which were never agreed or discussed. I had to constantly remin...d her of the circumstances of the case. It's such a shame, I had really thought I found a lawyer who I could trust, and feel confident in. I heard good things about Kimberly, and was hoping the lawyer I was assigned would be just as capable. She wasn't. Hire someone you feel is genuinely going to represent you and your rights. Melissa King was not that person.
