"I wholeheartedly endorse Melissa as a family law practitioner. She is tough and aggressive when the situation calls for it, but she has also been trained in mediation and collaborative law and puts those skills to use when necessary. Melissa’s background and training give her a unique ability to resolve things both through litigation and settlement."
"Melissa is hardworking and knowledgeable. Her energy and passion make her a resourceful and zealous advocate. In addition, Melissa is a good listener, facilitating her ability to understand her client's wants and needs in order to advocate for them.
