Divorce

Melissa and her team were excellent in guiding me through the process of my divorce. They are professional, courteous, and caring. I felt they had my best interest in mind and truly cared about me and my wellbeing. I highly recommend Melissa Hill Doss and her team if your looking for someone ...to have your back.

See anyone else

Melissa is not a good custody lawyer. You'd be better off seeing someone else.

Don’t hire

Made legal recommendations that cost me thousands of dollars. Made deals with opposing counsel that were not beneficial to me. Please be aware.

Hi Carlos, I am familiar with your case, and this was not how it played out. I am sorry you were unhappy with my representation, and I hope the representation you found, you were pleased with. I wish you the best of luck, Melissa

Buyer beware

Buyer beware only tells what you want to hear buyer beware likes make excuses when cornered on questions

I'm sorry you feel this way. I take pride in NOT telling clients just what they want to hear, as I know that does not benefit them in the long run. I hope you found an attorney who worked for you and that you had a great experience. Thank you, Melissa

Custody Case

Melissa was very proficient at explaining what needed to be done, what to expect and how we were going to achieve custody of my brother. She was easily accessible when I had questions and explained the process in terms that were easy to understand. She is not only a competent attorney but a humble, c...ompassionate individual that truly cares for her clients. I would recommend Melissa to any one needs Family Law services.

  • 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.
