Melissa H. Dalkert

I was introduced to Melissa Dalkert the hard way. I was arrested and jailed for a Class(B) misdemeanor. I had never been in trouble B4 and couldn't afford an attorney. She was appointed to me by the court. Still I liked her immediately. She knew I was apprehensive, no scratch that, scared silly. She ...assured me that she could get the charge reduced to an ordinance violation, but it would take time. A Class(B) misdemeanor is punishable with a $1000.00 fine plus court costs and/or 90 days in jail and it leaves you with a criminal record. The ordinance violation leaves you with a much smaller fine and court costs and no criminal record. Melissa Dalkert was able to get the charge reduced to an ordinance violation and a fine with fees. I did not have to spend another day in jail, past the first 2 days right after I was arrested. We also never had to go to trial. I've done some research and found that she did an excellent job on my case. Other attorneys have said to consider myself fortunate. Many of these cases have a less fortunate outcome. That's a very good thing for me as I was ready to climb the walls after just 2 days. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case and would be happy to use Ms. Dalkert again, however Melissa, no offense but I hope that never happens.
