This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Harper is extremely brilliant, empathetic, and thorough. She has represented me, with excellence, through the most difficult time of my life (divorce). Melissa listened to me and fought for me very well. She deserves the highest legal commendation bestowed upon a U.S. licensed attorney. I ...highly recommend her, with five glowing stars, without prejudice and without any singular reservation.

An Amazing Attorney

I was unsure where to turn when a friend of mine recommended Melissa. I was unsure about having a women represent me but the moment I met Melissa she put me at ease. She was honest about what she could do to help me. At the end of it all Melissa was able to do everything I asked and more.

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.
