Very Helpful

My experience with Melissa was very good. She gave me excellent advice and listened with compassion. I would recommend.

STAY AWAY!!!!

ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE 100% CORRECT. TALKS REAL BIG AT FIRST THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME TO TAKE ACTION COMPLETELY CHANGES HER STORY AND THEN TELLS YOU OTHER THINGS. LIES ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF THE OTHER ATTORNEY AND JUST WANTS TO RUN UP YOUR BILL. FIRED HER AFTER 1 MONTH . DONT KNO...W HOW SHE IS STILL IN BUSINESS

WATCH OUT! YOU MIGHT REGRET THIS CHOICE!

Specifically for me, hiring this attorney was my worst night mare! She told me what she could do for me, but it was the exact opposite of what she said. After court, she told me to sign a form that I did not complete. I never got a chance to see what was on the form. She said that she would complete ...it and turn it in. When she was asked for my court transcript, she stated that it was misplaced during her office move. She is deceitful. She did not give me all the receipts for monies paid for her service, claimed she did not know where her receipt book was. Her practice is moral turpitude.

Unprofessional and dishonest!

PLEASE do not hire this attorney. She acts like a teenager as far as sitting in the court room and giggling and gossipping. She told my opponents lawyer out ENTIRE CASE which allowed them to plow over us. Please, hire anyone else. You can tell by taking to her how inexperienced, inarticulate and just... bad she is. I'm sorry but please save your money.

DO NOT HIRE

She does not do what she says she won't return phone calls and when u do talk to her she talks n circles just to run up her time she will change your papers doing less than she said and charge you for things you do not ask for. She doesn't seem like she really cares about anything but her getting mor...e money from you after telling her how much you can pay you will get your bill down to almost paid then she quits doing anything for you stating the other attorney is hard to work with and charge you for things while actually doing nothing
