Posted by anonymous | July 26, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Ten foot pole

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.

These comments are deeply troubling. We have a full time receptionist staff and our phones are answered from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. In the event of an after hours emergency, if someone in need leaves a voicemail message, real time alerts are received via cell as well as via email. We pride ourselves on accurate billing. If anyone ever has an issue with an entry on a billing statement (which is actually quite rare), we address the issue and make any necessary corrections. My passion and my life’s work has and continues to be helping those in need. My staff is beyond dedicated, often reaching out to clients after hours and on weekends, simply because they are concerned about someone’s well being. Lastly, our firm does not advertise as this commentator tried to assert. The vast majority of clients are referrals from previous clients, other attorneys and professionals in the area.

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.
