Melissa A. Powell

Well, the title says it all; this woman was in the middle of dealing with our case. She, quite literally, ran away from it. If I could give her zero stars I would. For backstory, my mother came to her with a divorce case. Throughout her marriage she was abused along with her four children (myself in...cluded) for upwards of 25 years. This woman talked as if everything would be handled within the year and had all our evidence. To make matters worse, the only way she could have a job at her firm was to have experience with our kind of abuse. We thought everything was going to be okay. Fast forward a few months and, without and notification to us, she left to Michigan. We haven't heard from her since. Ever since she left this same firm has moved us from attorney to attorney and not done anything with our case. To this day we have paid upwards of $20,000 to try and handle our case and nothing has been done. They have threatened to release us, go after us for non payment, and sue. Knowing the stress we have been under. We have had to now, contact the bar. Do not contact this woman, she helped make our lives worse.
