Melissa Ann Graham-Hurd

A very respected attorney acquaintance had recommended Melissa about 10 years ago for my divorce case. She was, and has been, very straight forward with her opinions, which are very well heeled in past practices and experiences within the Domestic Relations Court. She also keeps records of EVERYTHING......which came in very handy when I needed a document for my pension. Thank you Melissa.

Melissa Graham-Hurd is an excellent attorney. She came highly recommended from several other attorneys so has the respect of her peers. In addition, she knows both the law and the Summit court system and its people very well which is a notable advantage. She is highly professional and always stay...ed on top of when things were due and when we needed to appear in court. My divorce was very contentious and went on for several years including going to the Court of Appeals so we got to know each well. She took time to answer my numerous questions about the law and what would happen in court. She was also willing to fight for what I wanted but would provide me valuable feedback when she thought what I was requesting would not be to my advantage. She did a phenomenal job presenting my case to both the Domestic Relations Court and Court of Appeals. I highly recommend her services.

When I went looking for a divorce lawyer I was overwhelmed. I read a lot of profiles and one word stood out when I read Melissa's. Compassionate. I was a mess and needed a strong, experienced, yet compassionate attorney. I also did not want to find myself paying for needless hours of attorney fee...s and a bill equal to my years salary. My first and second meeting with Melissa were fact finding missions. When it came time to pull the trigger, I knew I was in good hands and that all would be handled efficiently and at a very reasonable billing. Between Melissa and her staff, my timely needs and requests were filled to the letter. I would highly recommend Melissa to any man or woman needing a compassionate, experienced, strong and fair attorney in their corner.

When I first went to meet with Melissa, I had no idea what to expect, but all I had were some preconceived notions about how it would go with a divorce, along with a head that was jam packed full of advice from experienced and inexperienced peers who knew in their own minds what I should do, wha...t I should "go after", what is best for all concerned. Needless to say my head was spinning out of control. I was nervous and unsure. I soon changed my way of thinking, because with Melissa and her staff I found professionalism... an ethical and fair treatment of the issues that came up along the way ( for both parties involved)... a calming confidence in their knowledge of the law... they were patient with me in my impatience, and also a willingness to just listen when things got a little crazy for me. Thank you Melissa, Rebeca, and Melissa.

I came to Melissa shortly after my X husband said he was finished with our marriage last February of 2016. From day 1 Melissa was encouraging and helpful as she walked me through the difficult process of filing for a divorce. 16 months later and with the divorce finalized we are still working on som...e finishing touches but I could not have walked this walk without her. She is a true professional and does her job well, very caring and encouraging out of court and a confident defender in court. I would highly recommend her to anyone else going through this most difficult process.
