Beverly D Melontree

My husband was given this poor excuse of a lawyer in court. He was out on bail. Trying to uphold the terms of his bail we constantly tried to contact this b>*@h. She is rude, she does not show up for court. She will tell u not to show up becuz she has it handled. LIES!!! WE FID WIT SHE SED NOW MY HU...SBABD HAS BEEN IN JAIL FOR OVER 4 MONTHS, WE CANT REACH THIS PIECE OF CRAP NO MATTER WUT WE DO. THIZ IS THE WORST LAWYER IVE EVER MET. RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. SHE COMES TO COURT DRESSED LIKE A HOBO. SHE ACTS LIKE THE WORLD OWES HER SOMETHING. SHE NEEDS TO BE BARRED!!!!

Good experience

I’ve dealt with Ms Melontree twice and got favorable outcomes each time! She’s no bs and if you’re soft or impatient it will bother you but she gets the job done! She’s connected and informed so if she tells you to ‘be cool’ just be cool…

Great job

My attorney goes above and beyond for her clients. She is not rude, but a very stern woman who does not play about wasting her time. She definitely helped me in my situation and I have seen her in court fight for her clients like a pitbull fighting for their lives. She is one of the best black female... attorneys in the Texas area. I had a great experience with her.

Very Rude, Unprofessional

She was unprofessional from the time she took my sons case. She doesn't follow up with her client. She belittled myself and my son when we had questions. She will tell you she has other cases to tend to as if you're not a priority as well. She threatened my son to take a plea that he did not want to ...take in court and if he didn't she was not going to continue with his case. She does not speak like an attorney. She does not dress appropriately in court, in fact she had on a pair of nursing crock shoes with a dress. She was late to court. Not one time before my sons court date did she visit him or contact him about his case. She is rude, talks over you, and her attitude is nasty. This is not the person you would want to represent you or a loved one. She will not fight for you.

Not a good lawyer

Hired by my nephew, and she has not contacted him or talked to him. When asked by relatives she got very rude. We don't what to she the money. Should we ask for a refund? Never will she be involved with this family again. I don't know how she makes any money.
