Melissa Cass

Counsel Schroeder, Literally told me that she was NOT going to read my parenting plan, that I was supposed to sign it word-for-word, and stated in her email, “You are the one signing, not me.” I was already beyond broken, and then I paid someone thousands of dollars to treat me the way she did. She... will not see you as a person: zero empathy, zero compassion. This woman is just a facade of a “good Christian”; she is just there to drain your bank account and treat you like one more case number. Stay away from her; poor attorney services; you are better off doing it Pro Se.

She promised moon , stars doing intake. Took a month to send the first email. Burnt most of my retainer to get everything opposing legal counsel wanted, through her robotic paralegals. then withdrawn citing health or mother surgery , some such reason. She did zero defense, when there were false ac...cusations. I would rather plead my spouse, to reconcile than working with these hypocrites. Stay away.

She is dishonest as they come. She promises to help the abused yet further continues the abuse by not responding, not doing her job, charging for not doing her job, and talking down to you. They never answer their phone and communicate back with you at their discretion. She is too busy (greedy) to gi...ve anyones case her full attention. If you want to throw your money down the drain and have your case ignored, hire Melissa! If you want to have to call them to ask them if they're doing their job and then get charged for that phone call, by all means, call Melissa. I bet, though, if you have a domestic violence case or are trying to keep your kids safe, you are looking for someone who will fight for you. Your kids are worth it. Your money is worth it. She advertises to the demographic of people who do not deserve to be treated like this, because they have already been treated like this and are trying to get away from abuse. There are good attorneys out there. Save your mental health and your money and go elsewhere.

Very disappointed with her representation. Basically got billed for many hours with nothing to show for it. Many times tried to drop off paperwork and the office was closed and locked in the middle of the day. To this day, the paperwork I dropped off I never received back after I found new represe...ntation. Looking through my billing statement was actually funny because hours were charged for services I never received. Highly suggest looking a different direction with your hard earned money. I'm out thousands of dollars with literally nothing to show for it.
