I do not recommend Melanie S Berks

My experience with this attorney was frustrating and unprofessional. Communication was poor, emails and calls often went unanswered for long stretches of time. When I did get updates, they were vague and unhelpful, leaving me feeling more confused than reassured. What was most disappointing was th...e lack of genuine care and effort. Instead of feeling supported, I felt dismissed and like just another case file on the desk. Legal matters are stressful enough without having to chase down the very person you hired to help. I would not recommend Melanie based on my experience.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
