Great attorney!!

You’ll be in good hands with Melissa. She’s realistic, fair and very reasonable. I loved that she was straight to the point and gave us her honest opinion. She will fight for you and you rights. You won’t be disappointed if you retain her at all. Best legal decision I’ve ever made.

Professional and Courteous

Ms. Vainik made my divorce easy and quick. She walked me through each part of the divorce, making sure I understood everything. I recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer.

If you can get your partner to agree, and the need for a divorce is mutual, perfect Lawyer for the job! Very knowledgable, and explains everything throughout the process. Everything went so smooth. She made sure we hAd everything we needed and signed before we even went in front of the judge! We were... completely prepared, that the judge went over everything with us and signed it at that moment... It was so nice that we didn't have to go back to court! I would completely recommend this lawyer for all uncontested divorces!

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.
