This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Michael O Melder

I have had Michael perform a range of services from collections to corporate issues to employment law issues. Michael gives personal attention to me as a client and performs all services with great diligence and efficiency. I have known Michael personally since he was 18 years old so I know him to be... a solid individual in terms of work ethics and morals. I strongly recommend him to any potential client.

Seasoned Employment Law Expert

Michael has provided legal advice to me for over 5 years on a variety of employment related matters. I rely on Michael without hesitation, as his advice has always proven to be accurate and beneficial to my business success. His wide range of experience on both sides of the employer / employee rela...tionship, gives him unique insight into my specific issues and allows Michael to provide a well-rounded and comprehensive response.

Affordable and transparent legal services

Melder Law is perfect for small businesses and entrepreneurs! I've used the services of Melder Law for my start up company. Rather than worrying about "the clock ticking;" you pay for a subscription (if you're buying a Starbucks every day you can afford this). For a set price you get unlimited acces...s to legal advice... Perfect if you are on a budget and can't afford to blow the bank on legal advice. And as I have learned the hard way in the past... The earlier you get advice, the better - well worth the nominal cost!

Business lawyer | Jul 28

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Michael represented the opposing party in a business divorce case. Tensions were high between the parties and remained high. These types of cases almost always end in a lawsuit and often sooner than later. Michael worked diligently to get the case resolved without litigation. If you need a good lawyer that can help you resolve a dispute without litigation if possible but with litigation if necessary, I recommend Michael."

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.
