Amazing at what she does

Melissa helped me to feel safe, secure, and confident in my legal journey. She is always willing to take a phone call, answer a text message or email, and even meet with me no matter what time of day it is. Melissa has a way of connecting on a personal level which helped to ease my anxiety and fears ...about my case. Inside the court room her presence can definitely be felt. She is not easily shaken and stands her ground on your behalf. With her I was able to obtain more than expected in my custody battle. I wouldn't have any other lawyer.

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.
