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.

Terrible representation

I paid 2k and she never spoke with me after I retained her. Showed up for our settlement hearing unprepared, spent more time helping opposing counsel and my ex. Was very demeaning and did not support my case at all. Waste of time and money! I should have listened to all her terrible reviews because t...hey were right. Settlement ended she walked out of the office never spoke to me. Horrible.

Handled Divorce case

This is the single worst attorney I have ever used. The only thing she accomplished in this divorce was collecting lots of money from us. She has terrible listening skills, preferring to listen to herself instead of her clients. She does not follow thru on items pertaining to the case, and gave every...thing up to the opposition. I would not recommend her for any case.

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.

Would recommend services

The consultation went good. Communication thru the whole divorce process was excellent. She is very focused at her job and got me the best outcome possible. I would definitely recommend her services for your divorce needs.
