Professional and compassionate, a “ Go Getter”

For the first time in my life I had to hire an attorney. Divorce is never easy. Melanie made sure that I was informed all the way and guided me professionally and with compassion through the process with an outcome way better than I expected, which was due to her detailed research and her great abili...ty of questioning in the courtroom. I would highly recommend her and I would hire her again.

Could not be more pleased with Melanie!!

She is absolutely the most dedicated and caring attorney I have known. I never had to wonder what was happening because she was always there when I needed her no matter what time it was. Every step of the way I was well informed and given expert advise while still being allowed to make up my own mi...nd about things. I felt no pressure from her at all. Divorce is not an easy thing to deal with. Melanie handled it with such professionalism and more importantly, with respect for me and my feelings as well. She absolutely looks out for her clients best interest without causing unnecessary expense on top of it. I will forever be grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anyone!

She was awesome! Helped us with an (out of state) property recovery dispute against a family member!

My 85 year old Father and I live in Pennsylvania. We had a family member who lived in Tennessee with which we needed to bring legal action against. I made numerous phone calls to several Attorneys in different locations. Ms. Lane was recommended by 3 different individual Attorneys as the person who... would be best for handling our situation. We ended up retaining Ms. Lane after consulting with her about our problem. Ms. Lane and her staff dealt with all the difficulties that come with having out of state clients with the utmost patience and professionalism. She arranged for my elderly Father to testify by phone so he would not have to travel. I traveled down from Pennsylvania to testify at the hearing. When it came time for Court, I found Melanie to be prepared, professional,and quite frankly, absolutely tenacious! We were awarded 100% of everything we asked for and I didn't even have to testify! I would absolutely hire Ms. Lane again if I ever had another Legal issue in Tennessee. On a scale of 1 to 10.....My Father and I would give her a resounding 10! Do not hesitate to hire her if you need legal counsel in her area!

Caring, Dedicated, and Driven

Melanie is honest, hardworking, and dedicated to her clients. She stood by me during our entire court process, even when I was scared or discouraged - she encouraged me and helped me find my on confidence in myself again (which I had lost a very long time ago). She is compassionate but also say...s what needs to be said in order to do what she feels is best for the situation. She is extremely meticulous, she researches and get's the facts. When she says she works for you, she means it, she will not give up or lose focus. I highly recommend Melanie Lane!!
