Fantastic Lawyer, Cannot Say Enough About Her

I retained Melanie in a post-divorce matter that was complex and filed completely to harass and intimidate. Melanie is a busy woman, working in private practice, but her responsiveness is amazing. She is tenacious, unafraid, familiar with Lake County courts, practical, fair and I only wish I had us...ed her for my original divorce. I've worked with attorneys for over 20 years, and used many in my case and Melanie by far was and is the best.

Melanie was great to work with. Very professional approach and made me feel like her only Client. Has the demeanor to bring calm to very stressful situations. Incredible knowledge of Family Law and a nice person.

Konstantin

I have utilized Melanie Caspi services for several years for my child custody case and I was very impressed with the service. Melanie was always good about returning phone calls and was very responsive to any questions I had. As an attorney Melanie appeared to be very familiar with workings of family... court and appeared always prepared. The difference that I have noted over the year between her and other attorneys I used in the past was that she gave a reasonable advice and options with out trying to increase tensions in the case and was able to give right advise at the right time.

Melanie is an excellent, detail-oriented, professional attorney

Melanie advocated for me during my divorce in a compassionate and helpful way. Although my divorce wasn't contentious and was mediation-based, it was still a difficult process emotionally, and she did a great job of advocating for me, explaining my options, and making sure I understood everything. S...hould I need family law services again, I'd definitely come to her first.

Positive experience working with a results driven, ethical attorney

Melanie was a referral to me by a friend who is also an attorney. She came highly recommended and throughout my process I found she is well respected by her peers and in the legal field. My personal experience with her was very positive as she was compassionate, patient and always supportive. Conve...rsely, she was very tough, strategic and educated with the opposite party and their legal team and always had a great Plan and a great Plan B. Most importantly she is honest, fair and always worked toward the best outcome for me and my child. Her hard work and the end result has had a positive and lasting impact for me and my family.
