Involved Attorney

Melissa is a caring and hard working Attorney. I loved the way she took the time to explain, in detail, anything I didn't understand. I was also impressed that she's not afraid to say "We won't accept that" and "We will have a trial in court"! She's also concerned about what you as the client recove...rs not just what she will be paid. I had a great experience with Melissa. I'll recommend her to anybody!

Smart savvy lawyer.

I had 4 attorneys before finding Melissa. The details the other lawyers were scared of, Melissa handled with ease. Some of these lawyers advertise with Milwaukee media. So its safe to say she was smarter. She navigated the legal system with ease. This was a slip and fall accident. Not easy to win. Sh...e got a settlement for me. In my opinion, some lawyers are settlers, never intending to go to trial. Some are incompetent, some are fighters. She fights. Don't make the mistake I did with other lawyers.

Works hard for a fair ending

Have you never needed to hire an attorney for an auto accident as very happy to find Melissa. She initially walked me through how the process works and as time progressed and the process was going she became more than just my attorney she actually asked me questions in regards to my life in general. ...She is not a forget your name type of interning she knew who I was and my case it's in every time that we talked and it was like working with a friend. I met Jonathan growth and a few occaisions and he is well was very personable and Likable just like Melissa Fischer. I really appreciated her guidance and advice through the process. I would recommend her to anyone!

Incredible Experience

Working with Melissa was truly a pleasure from beginning to end with my personal injury case. She was always attentive, responsive and had my best interests in mind. Not only that, she was relentless with the negotiation process with the insurance companies, which ultimately led to more money in my ...pocket. I highly recommend Melissa's services and the Groth Law Firm as a whole. Thank you!!!
