Melissa is outstanding in every way!
I have used Melissa on 2 extremely complicated custody cases and would recommend her to anyone. She is organized and compassionate. Her staff is competent and both of their communication is excellent (which is something I've had huge issues with, with previous attorneys). She is as tough as it gets...

Full-Time Single Dad
I met my wife in the military and after we finished our enlistment we came to Lubbock for school. After a year, it just wasn't working and my ex and I filed for divorce.

Great family lawyer
Melissa went above and beyond to help us with our custody case. She was always available to answer any of of questions, even years after she had won our case. We never felt like she didnt care. She was just as concerned about our case as we were. Overall, shes a great lawyer who does her job well.
"I absolutely endorse Melissa. Melissa exemplifies the full spectrum of what I believe a good lawyer should be. She is smart, tough, and works very hard. She listens to and respects her clients while, at the same time, clearly communicating to her clients expectations that are the most reasonable and achievable. She does a fantastic job of taking on issues in a case, even if it causes her a great personal inconvenience and diminishes her "bottom line." Finally, she treats each client with the utmost respect and carefully communicates with her clients regarding developments and strategies in their case. I never have any hesitation in recommending her to my own friends and family."
