Provided ACCURATE advice!

Melissa answered my complex question is simplistic terms and encouraged me to follow an action plan. Melissa used understandable language that was relevant and meaningful. At no time was did she have a disparaging tone towards me regarding my unfavorable situation. I am confident that if you are with...in Melissa's service area you would benefit from her services.

Excellence

Melissa was very professional and sensitive to my situation. My divorce took longer than normal and had many "bumps" due to my ex husband's criminal case. She explained everything in a very clear and precise manner. I knew exactly what to expect throughout my divorce proceedings. I had many ques...tions and never felt like any of my questions were trivial. She is a very straight forward, intelligent, and honest lawyer. I was entirely satisfied and had a very good client, attorney relationship.

Excellent

Melissa worked very hard on my custody case and ended up getting me maximum days with my twins. And even though case over, she is there to support me and and answer all my questions. She's amazing.

Couldn't have asked for better...

I could not have asked for better representation during the tiresome period that is a custody agreement. From day one she worked with me to understand the reality of my situation and was completely 100% realistic, upfront and honest. It is so obvious that she cares about the client first and foremost.... She explained to me what the obstacles were and was extremely attentive on how we would tackle each.
