Divorce Case

Mrs. Cooper is very understanding and amazing, she helped me through my divorce and explained all my options and step by step procedure. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR CHILD'S LIFE, MELODY COOPER IS NOT RECOMMENDED

This woman did nothing for me and my family but took all the money she could get out of us. we hired her for my daughter's custody case back in 2006 and expected some kind of good change in what was current PP. My daughter is now 14yrs old, going to crime victims counseling and her dad is undergoing ...investigation of sexually abusing my daughter from the when she was 6 to 11. Now Melody Cooper is handling my son's custody case for my unfit ex-husband. This woman ruins children's lives and does not care for your child nor cares for the best interest of the child. Not to mention she takes every single penny she can squeeze out of you and then she is done with you. My daughter wants to go to her office to let her know that she was the one that helped ruin her childhood. i do not blame her at all. She is a horrible over priced lawyer that should not even be a lawyer. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS WOMAN TO ANYONE!

Very Satisfied customer.

I went to Melody Cooper in 1995 for a divorce,and child custody,as well as a restraining order. She charged me a total of 3,000.00 dollars.1500.00 to begin,and the rest before going to court. Which I happily paid. She was ALWAYS available,responsive,helpful,kept me informed.I paid her in full very ...quickly,and she never sent me a bill, or asked for more money. My case was in court and settled,even with some extenuating circumstances in less than 4 months. I was VERY pleased with, her performance. I have recommended her many times.She seemed to care a lot about my Childs welfare,as well as my own. However the last time I saw her in 2007,she looked very ill. Had lost a lot of weight. This could account for her poor reviews.
