Only cares for $$$$$

She did not seem to represent me but the other party she was on their side instead of mine the one who hired her. She likes to make decisions for her clients that are not what the client is asking her to do. I hired her to defend my rights as a mother and to defend my child and all she seemed to care... about was how much money I could give her her starting the cases is $1,500.00 her retainers are biweekly $750 plus $350 the only thing she did in my case was file and I paid her over $2000.00 She does not care for the childs best interest all she cares is about the money. I thank God I hired a different attorney to represent me in court and fought for my childs well being. Having Melody as your attorney will leave you with no money and her false promises to fight for your case.

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.
