Exceptional experience

I had a consultation with Melissa that was the measure to what I shall now hold any future lawyer consultations to. I felt from the first moment her and I spoke that she had a genuine care for my circumstances and would tackle anything and everything necessary in order to get things straightened out... for me. Melissa was very thorough and organized and after our meeting I felt immediately relieved to have all of my questions answered and a better view of what I was up against. The only thing that I wish would have been different is if I could have had the opportunity to work with her post consultation. Certain circumstances prevented that from ultimately happening but I wanted to share my experience in hopes it can help someone who might be in a position similar to mine and I’m need of a professionals assistance. Melissa was hands down the kindest and most caring lawyer I have ever associated with and in the future I can promise that she will be the only phone call I’m making when I need legal aid.

A light in the darkness

After an unfortunate choice, in what was probably the most difficult time of my life and all I saw was fear, hopelessness and shame, I reached out to Melissa to represent me. After the first meeting with Melissa, I immediately felt, heard, and seen, and that I had an advocate. She treated me as a pe...rson with respect and compassion. Not just a business relationship I felt cared for and in very capable hands. My case took almost 4 years to resolution and Melissa was there every step of the way. Representing me as a person, relentlessly advocating for the best possible outcome. She is a straight shooter and didn’t sugar coat anything but also offered expert guidance, encouragement, and hope. Thank you, Melissa, for taking such good care of not only me, but also my family through a very scary time. If you need a defense that TRULY is on your side and will fight for you do not hesitate to call Melissa.

Review

I have retained Ms. Segers counsel on two occasions now. Both times resulted in positive results. If you want someone who is familiar with Adams County and will fight for you, I highly recommend Ms. Segers.

A blessing with charm.

Melissa Segers is a lawyer that you could only hope for and never expect to find. A lawyer with a heart that cares. I could not have been better represented if my own mother or father were attorneys. She took the appointment to meet me even when her calendar was basically full. She wanted to help, so... even though her plate was full, she asked to bring on an additional lawyer just to make sure my case got the complete attention that it needed, a Moorea Diamond. It barely affected my fee. I can not express how grateful I was to have found Melissa. She protected me when I was the most vulnerable. She made me feel like my back was covered no matter what, and let me say she absolutely delivered. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement. She is incredibly insightful and present. When I called, she answered. When I was doubtful, she reassured me. Honestly, I have no words to describe properly what she did for me. I would trust Melissa a thousand times over to handle any legal issues that may come up. I want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you, Melissa. You have restored my faith that there is justice. If they retain you.
