Very pleased with the service

She is very helpful and to the point. My first experience with her when I spoke to her on the phone and she was extremely helpful and was not like other attorneys who just want money for any information that they provide. She answered all my questions and gave me all the legal advice needed. At that ...point, I decided that I was going to go with because she seemed very genuine to help and will not overcharge me. She was available at all times via phone or email. I highly recommend her and can assure you that you will have peace of mind with you case with her

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!

Great Lawyer! Couldn't ask for a better lawyer/client relationship!

Melissa helped me through my divorce. She was very knowledgable, precise and told me what to expect and made my mind at ease. Even when I got into another situation and needed help, but couldn't afford an attorney, she gave me as much advice as I needed to represent myself, and made me again feel a...t ease with my situation, and told me everything would be okay, which it was! I trust Melissa, and if I EVER needed a lawyer, she would be the first person I would call. She really cares about her clients, she's not one of those - "just hand me your money and I'll get to your case when I get to it". She is always available and very easy to communicate with. Not just a great attorney, but a good person with a great spirit.

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.
