Best ever

She is one of the best family law lawyers and divorce attorneys I have ever met. From the moment I first spoke with her, I knew I was in good hands. She showed genuine kindness and friendliness that made what seemed like a very stressful situation much easier to handle. Her caring attitude made me fe...el respected and understood, which is rare when you are going through a tough family separation. Throughout my case, she was incredibly helpful. She listened carefully to every detail and made sure I understood all my options. She took the time to answer all of my questions, even the small ones that can sometimes get overlooked. Her advice was clear, honest, and always focused on what was best for me and my family. I appreciated how she always tried her best, going above and beyond to ensure that my case was handled efficiently and fairly. What really stood out was her dedication. She worked tirelessly, often staying late or making extra calls to fight for my interests. She was proactive in explaining legal processes I didn’t fully understand and kept me informed at every turn. Her friendly and calm demeanor made it easier to face difficult decisions and emotions during a stressful time. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law lawyer or divorce attorney. Not only is she an expert in her field, but she also genuinely cares about her clients. Her kindness, professionalism, and helpful nature make her a standout choice. My experience working with her was so positive that I wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to anyone searching for a lawyer who truly listens, cares, and works hard to get the best results.

Hired Attorney

Melissa is an Amazing Lawyer and I would not hesitate to hire her. She knows her law and keeps the worry away from the client. Under a very stressful time she put me at ease with her friendly confident demeanor. Ive read the negative reviews about Melissa and I can tell you 1st hand I find them very... hard to believe. Do not hesitate to hire this wonderful attorney.

Shameful, unethical

All talk at consultation, left office very optimistic . At first meeting the assistant gathered necessary documents wrote notes on file for plan of action, documented on first page of file. The wrong info was used to file a paternity claim due to lack of communication and disorganization in the o...ffice, resulting in our lawyer dropping us via email 10 days before court. We sent the receipt picture of the documents as proof the assistant filled out for the list of issues to cover Melissa took no responsibility for not looking at it, and put blame at us for her mistake and immediately dropped us via a nasty text message. We should have read and headed the negative reviews before retaining her because all are true. She had our money, made the mistake, dropped us to avoid correcting her mistake, and claims she has nothing to do with her assistant’s notes on our file ( why have the assistant go over items with your on her behalf and have it in the file? ) ... lesson learned hard way head the reviews!

TERRIBLE

She doesn't care about you, she only wants your money. You never get to talk to her, and when you do she rushes you off the phone and makes you feel like an inconvenience. She will talk a good game when you consult her. Please don't fall for it. She will not make time to talk to you and you'll get em...ails left and right asking for money and made up itemized bill lists. She doesn't work for you at all. She works against you. Please don't waste your time. She only cares about money. Not her clients, she works against you and just tells you to agree to the opposing team, doesn't care about gou or your child or the safety of either of you, or doing the right thing. It's all about money to her. WORST ATTORNEY EVER! SHADY AND UNPROFESSIONAL AND TREATS YOU LIKE AN INCONVENIENCE.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
