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

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

Review/Recommendation

Attorney Melissa N. Vainik helped me complete my divorce in a very professional and expeditious way. She was always available for questions, guidance, and handled all aspects of the divorce. I highly recommend her services; you will not be disappointed.

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.

Fantastic Representation from Attorney Melissa N. Vainik

I called Attorney Vainik with a last minute review of legal paperwork prior to a court date. Attorney Vainik returned my call promptly, set up a consultation, made substantial corrections and additions to my paperwork, came to my court hearing as my counsel and negotiated a better agreement for me.... Attorney Vainik was personable, attentive and kind during my legal matter. I highly recommend services from Attorney Vainik.

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.
