Melody Hartman Cooper

This woman seemed a bit "lost", for lack of a better word during our 1st meeting, but i thought well, this is about a child support issue and it can't be that hard...a common task for an atty. i should have trusted my instincts. she is "lost" in her words and doesn't come off as being very astute at ...even communicating, let alone looking out for her client's best interest. i must agree with several other reviews on here regarding her. she got her money in full and i never heard from her until i saw her in court the day of the hearing. she literally sat there and looked lost as to what the other atty. was telling her. she had to look at me like a child caught in a lie for simple facts she should already know!!! i don't know if it's medication or if she's just like that, but whatever it is...(besides basic greed).. she needs to revisit basic life skills and common courtesy for others and not leave her clients out on a limb to sink or swim...meanwhile your money is already in her bank acct. i would never advise anyone to hire her for any reason, esp. in any matters regarding the welfare of your child(ren). when she was on the city council board..she was bright eyed and with it!

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!
