Great Lawyer
She listened to everything I said and was on my side completely. I was against some things that were actually in my favor and she tried to help me as much as she could. I would def recommend her for legal help. Her assistant Robyn was very nice and helpful also.

It is unfortunate that your experience was not as positive as you expected. For the most part hiring a busy attorney is a good thing to do because we know the judges, we know our adversaries (opposing attorneys and prosecutors), know the law, and have valuable experience that can help in your case. The down side however, is we can get so busy that we are not able to meet our scheduling demands as quickly and as efficiently as we would like. Again, I am sorry for this experience and feel free to call me to discuss.

Can't say enough about Ms. Melton!
I don't even know where to start with how great an experience I had with Amy as my attorney. I guess the best place to start would be the fact that she was the ONLY attorney that answered my call at 8pm the night before my first hearing. She had me meet her at her office the following morning befor...

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Amy was my opposing counsel on a difficult child abuse case. Amy was prepared, compassionate and an excellent advocate for her client."
"In my experience, Ms. Melton is a dedicated advocate. She is very focused on obtaining the best possible outcomes for her clients. Sometimes, that means litigating a case all the way to trial; often, that means reaching a settlement mutually beneficial to all parties. Ms. Melton balances negotiation, mediation, and litigation very capably. In my opinion, Ms. Melton is an excellent family law attorney."
"Amy is a former Public Defender with a lot of successful trial experience, is very knowledgeable and willing to put in the time needed to properly research the law pertaining to each case."
"Amy Melton is an outstanding attorney with talents and skills in many areas of the law. I do not hesitate to refer cases to her and highly endorse her."
