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.

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!

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!

Amazing!!

My experience with Attorney Melissa Rohrer could not have gone any better. I entered her office as an unmarried dad who was frustrated with the family court system, and the lawyer I hired before her. During consultation I told her that I wasn't seeking the traditional custody arrangement and that my ...ex sat on the other side of that fence. I wanted something more real and something more shared. She never dismissed my wishes, however, she did inform me that the road wouldn't necessarily be easy. Once, I officially hired her, she began going to work. She dismissed my other attorney, and corrected documents he screwed up on. Then she phoned opposing counsel and informed them that she was my new representative. Upon talking with them she knew that a collaborative agreement was not possible, and she recommended a custody evaluation. I hired her in February of 2015, as a frustrated and defeated father, and I am writing this review as a father who could not be happier with his custody arrangement. I see my son more than most dads do, and he spends a significant number of nights at my house. If you are a dad struggling with visitation, Melissa Rohrer is the attorney for you. She always has your back. She defends you, if you screw up, and she responds promptly to calls and emails.
