Melanie Ann Haynes

I have known Melanie Haynes for nearly 20 years. It has been fun to watch her career unfold from a former law enforcement officer to practicing law. She is one of the brightest attorney’s I have had the privilege to know and I have worked with many of them. She is the total package. Possessing a ...combination of high intelligence, strong analytical and advocacy skills and ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing, she is a powerful force throughout the divorce process. It was these reasons I had reached out to her a few years back when it came to my own divorce. I’m a male and I was married to an abusive woman. For anyone leaving an abusive relationship it is difficult to break the bond of control. I was confident Melanie could handle the complexities of such a case. Looking back, I remember one instance where I could have legally filed a PFA during my divorce due to the harassment and threat of further abuse. Melanie was patient and consulted with me about the pros and cons of such a decision. In the end, we agreed to hold off on the PFA but have it ready. I learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes even if you have the power of law on your side it is wise to slowly think through all legal decisions. A PFA would have made the divorce more complex than it needed to be and I am thankful for Melanie’s guidance. Finally, Melanie is extremely respected among all other divorce attorney’s. She is able to communicate with the other attorney involved in the case which assists in litigation. In the end, I was able to keep the assets that mattered most to me yet reach a fair deal with all parties. I often refer others who are strongly considering divorce to meet with Melanie. A consultation is the first step towards reclaiming your life!! I highly recommend Melanie Haynes as a divorce attorney and am forever thankful for her services!!
