Steer clear of this deceitful character

She handled my case very poorly. I tried to show her evidence of domestic violence and the other parent posing a clearly visible threat to my child's well being.. she ignored it and told me to turn off the video then went on to speak to my ex as if I was the problem. After I kindly fired her, she wr...ote me an email falsely claiming that i came ther harassing her and her staff. When the receptionist and I were speaking, she had more compassion for what was going on and was extremely apologetic for things turning out the way the did. I should've known Melissa was shady when I noticed cobwebs in her office. She didn't listen to anything I said..on top of all that she told me to sit in another room while she was in other room pandering to the opposing party like she was her friend. I wish I would have checked the reviews because I would've never hired her. Everyone who has experienced this type of behavior should report her to the BAR. I know I will be.

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.

Great Attorney

She rocked! I fired my first attorney because she wasn't working my file and his attorney was waling all over her. When I hired Attorney Rohrer she was very aggressive and always had my best interest. She got me custody of my children and child support and I will forever be grateful.

Don't be tricked by her smooth talk

Melissa represented me for many years. I thought at first that she was a bulldog and would get everything done in the best interest of my child. My first round through court ended great (after spending over $10,000). After having to go to court for a filing from my ex she acted like a know it all tha...t wanted me to do things I didn't want. In most of my meetings she talked about other clients and her own life instead of focusing on my case. Believe that she will do the same to you. A lot of things were filed with misspellings and errors. I'm looking for another lawyer that isn't all talk.

BEST FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY

Ms. Rohrer is amazing! She put forth hard work, detailed dedication to my case and my needs. She put forth the best interests of my child. She didn’t let opposing counsel bully her or me. She listened attentively to all my concerns. Always replied promptly to emails or phone calls. Ms. Rohrer eve...n put up with me. I have experience in family law and she put up with my suggestions and input in my case. I HIGHLY recommend Ms. Rohrer. If you want an attorney who will fight for you, Ms. Rohrer is the one!
