Had to Fire Melanie

Just like another poster said. I would swear she was out to help the other side. When she would attempt to "explain"...she would always say "..you know wadda mean?". And no. I didn't know what she meant. It was as if her little quip was to smooth over her lack of professionalism.... Horrible. I... fired her and hired another firm. They took care of the situation. If you are a man, do NOT hire Ms Bugbee for ANY family law matter you might have.

Poor Service and didn't understand the situation

I finally had to fire her. Every penny that I gave her was useless. She paid little to no attention to my case. And one point, and I swear it seemed like she was out to help the other side. I do not believe she stands by her oath as a lawyer to serve her client's best interest. I fired her and re...tained a professional firm who took care of my situation flawlessly. I can't believe she still has a license.

She was willing to fight for me!

I was a wreck when this all happened, but Ms. Bugbee kept it strong for me. She was very knowledgeable of the Judges and she has been doing this for a very long time. At times I will be honest she can seem harsh, but she is being honest and not trying to sugar coat things for you. I wanted to take... a risk and she advised me otherwise, but she still fought for me and it worked in my favor. She was so helpful and I thank her so much for everything!

Melanie was fantastic

Fair. Clear headed. Excellent. When I was a mess, she was a rock. Sensible. I can not say enough about just how fantastic she was.
