Very Professional

Melanie will have your best interest in mind when she takes your case. Melanie was considerate of my time. She was very transparent throughout the divorce process. She is strategic and methodical in her approach. I would highly recommend her for anyone that is seeking a true professional. The divorc...e process is very rough, but thanks to Melanie my kids and I can heal and move forward as a family.

Maintenance Adjustment

I was so thankful on the quickness Melanie worked with me. I had only 2 weeks and she really pushed to get the documents done and accurately. I would recommend her services to anyone. Thank you so much.

You definitely want her on your side

Melanie Haynes went above and beyond in defending me in my case. She took the time to learn about me and my specific situation to offer an in depth, personalized service that far exceeded my expectations. She was very thorough and knowledgeable. Communication was exceptional, she made sure to confirm... every decision with me beforehand and ensure I understood and agreed. She knows what she is doing and doesn't waste time and in the end, saved me months of time and thousands of dollars.

Fabulous!

I could not have asked for better representation than Melanie. She was patient and thorough and helped me to understand my options. She was always available to answer my questions and responded to my messages in a very timely manner. And on top of all of that she was a comforting presence while goi...ng through an emotional time. Would highly recommend.

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.
