Melissa Veronica Caballero

Melissa was a terrific advocate for me in my Allocation Judgement case. I was never married, but my daughter’s mother and I had been broken up for 11 years, during which we handled all scheduling on our own, with no legal agreement. My ex wanted to get our schedule officially nailed down and legall...y set. Melissa guided me through this process, protected my rights, and helped to negotiate our trouble areas. I never stepped foot in a courtroom at any point in this process. Melissa handled it all for me, and we were able to agree to terms and sign ahead of our final court date. Melissa’s biggest contribution was helping with the financial component. I am a professional actor, and my employment and income fluctuates constantly. She was able to help present a reasonable reflection of my income, ending with a fair, but very favorable support payment from me. My ex can be very demanding and difficult to work with, but Melissa was a massive help in negotiating this. I highly recommend working with her.

Once I met Melissa, I knew that I had found the right person to represent me during my divorce. I felt comfortable with her from the start, as she explained what I could expect throughout the process. Melissa was professional, knowledgeable, and always provided excellent guidance. I appreciated her p...rompt communication when I had questions and concerns. There was never any doubt that she was on my side and fighting for my best interest the entire time. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone needing a Family Law attorney.

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!
