Best Experience

I am writing this review to express my sincere gratitude for Melissa's outstanding work during my child's recent legal matter. Throughout this challenging time, Melissa has been absolutely amazing. My child felt comfortable with her from day one, which was incredibly reassuring. I truly appreciate...d Melissa's upfront, firm, and kind approach. She clearly explained the circumstances to my son while maintaining a sense of hope, which made a significant difference. I have already recommended Melissa's services to friends and will continue to do so. Melissa is an excellent attorney, and I am deeply grateful for her dedication and expertise. Sincerely, Vanessa

Melissa is The BEST criminal defense lawyer for juveniles

We found ourselves in an incredibly difficult situation. Our son was facing nine felony charges. During one of the most challenging times in our lives, we were fortunate to find Melissa. From the beginning, she demonstrated deep legal expertise, genuine compassion and understanding. Melissa is highly... respected in her field and clearly knows what she’s doing. She took the time to help us understand the seriousness of the charges, the legal process, and all of our options. Her ability to communicate clearly and empathetically made a world of difference. She understands the complexities of young people's brain development and how it affects their choices. She is personable, thoughtful, and never judgmental. When it came time to fight for our son, Melissa showed her strength and determination—she is a fighter, and we saw that firsthand. If you are in need of a juvenile defense lawyer, I highly recommend Melissa. She was a lifeline for our family, and we are deeply grateful for everything she has done for us.
