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.

Custody case

Attorney Melissa would get the job done. My ex and I reached a very satisfactory agreement because of Melissa's mediation. She have a broad knowledge in family law and was able to locate the best strategy for my case. Melissa was very thorough and patient with answering all of my legal questions.
