Melissa Veronica Caballero

I moved to Chicago after separating from my husband in another state. Melissa helped me weigh the pros and cons of filing for divorce in Illinois, and then laid out a clear path for how to accomplish that when a petition had already been filed in another state. I could not have found a more intellige...nt and experienced attorney than Melissa to represent me and successfully manage the process of moving my divorce to Illinois. She was always on top of the details of my case and always watching out for my best interests. She has outstanding people skills, knows the law, works efficiently, and truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome. Melissa is the absolute BEST!!

Feeling hopeless in a custody case that had been dragged out for years, Melissa immediately restored my faith in the judicial system. Working with a couple of lawyers who had seemed to dig me in to a deeper hole, Melissa really had her work cut out for her. However, Melissa got to work quickly and... was able to make movement in my case in a matter of months as compared to the work of the other lawyers who seemed to be going nowhere fast for the past 3 years. Melissa is very knowledgeable of the law and knew exactly what to do in order to help me and my son. Melissa executed flawlessly, she is a real fighter! Before Melissa I was unable to see my son as much as I’d like to. I can’t thank her enough or truly put in to words how amazing this woman is! I highly recommend Melissa. Not only is she on top of her game, she is also so sweet! Thank you again and again Melissa!

I was so stressed and felt lost looking for a divorce attorney who could help me with my case. I looked into Melissa Caballero’s profile and now I’m one more of her forever grateful clients! When I talked to Melissa about my case, she listened very carefully, I never felt rushed and she explained h...ow the proses was going to be and what to expect. Melissa always kept me informed about my case throughout the whole proses and was available every time I had any question. She earned my trust and I felt secured and less stressed every time. She’s very profesional, disciplined, and yes, she knows her job. She fought for my rights!!! Melissa Caballero and her assistant Josie Norton went above and beyond helping me with my case, They’re the best!! I absolutely recommend them.

I contacted Melissa to discuss post-decree custody issues. I wasn’t sure what my options were. My relationship with my ex wasn’t great, but I also wanted to do everything in my power to maintain any respect we could salvage. Melissa recommended a few options and ways to proceed that were very appr...opriate for our situation. She explained a few angles I hadn’t thought of, and listened to exactly what I wanted to accomplish. Melissa was able to handle my entire case only speaking to me via phone and email, so it was minimally intrusive on my work/home life. We also discussed budget often and she was always very transparent about costs I should expect as the case proceeded. Melissa successfully navigated a pre-trial conference and settlement negotiations on my behalf. I was able to obtain sole decision making over my minor child, while keeping the current relationship with the child’s father intact – which was a large part of my goal. Overall, Melissa is personable, knowledgeable and reasonable, but also knew when to push back and when I needed to be encouraged to do so. I completely trust her judgment and ability to fight for me and my family. It’s such a relief to have someone like her on my side, even if I never need to use her again!

Hi, Melissa Caballero is wonderful to work with, my X was trying to pursue a fraudulent protection order against me to tarnish my image. Melissa was able to transfer this case into divorce case and then vacate the protection order. Once the divorce process started everything was handled very well. ... My X was trying to pursue money from me, but she did not want to go through discovery process. So we where able to settle based on the original agreement without any changes and everything was resolved quickly at the end. She is very smart and really saved me from a bad situation that could of hurt my future. I highly recommend her.
