Very professional and helpful

She is very helpful and courteous. She helped me getting divorce and stood by me even though the divorce was getting complicated.

Excellent Service

Attorney Vainik was contracted to handle my divorce case. From day one she has exhibited a professional, follow through, take care of business attitude. I am completely satisified with the services provided and would highly recommend her as your choice for a lawyer.

Above and Beyond

My experience was pretty simple, but ended up better than I thought. I mean it's a divorce, so how good can it be? Well, I did a search for quick and easy divorce on the internet and Melissa responded immediately. She made every single step not just easy, but informative as well. My profession pu...ts me in contact with lawyers frequently. Most enjoy dragging things out as you can imagine. But Melissa did the exact opposite, while showing me personal attention regarding my situation. She was informative while being pithy. It's odd to say, but my divorce was a great experience! If you're looking for professional, strong, fast and informed, Melissa is the way to go. I'd recommend her to every single person I know going through the rigors and stress of a divorce. If divorce could be a positive experience (which is what we'd wish to experience given the situation.) Melissa is your counsel. I made sure to leave my email with this review, so if you feel the need to ask me any questions, please drop me a line, I know this can be a pretty rough time. Thank's again Melissa! -David

Divorce

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.
