Very responsive and knowledgeable!

Melissa was very responsive and knowledgeable. I was in the middle of a divorce and my previous lawyer got busy with another case and stopped responding to me. I found Melissa's website, setup a meeting with her, and then hired her immediately afterwards. She was extremely responsive to our situation..., very knowledgeable about the divorce process, and helpful in getting us to a resolution for our divorce. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again if I needed the help.

Quick, Thorough, and Professional

I thought I could do this all without a lawyer. I was wrong. I had taken the divorce up to the final judgment and needed the immediate assistance of a lawyer who could come in, understand what was done, and quickly help appropriately close the case. Melissa did a wonderful job. From my first meeting ...with her, I was confident that I was in good hands. She even convinced my ex-wife to move from a default judgment to signing a consent judgment. The final hearing went very smoothly and the judge even noted how thorough and detailed the final judgment was. I was very happy that Melissa helped me close this chapter of my life as quickly as possible. Thank you, Melissa.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
