Awesome lawyer

Melissa is an amazing, understanding lawyer. She is down to earth, easy to talk to, and she gets it. She helped my son and I with a couple of felony juvenile cases he was facing. All of which have now been expunged. Without Melissa's help, I am certain my son would have done jail time and would have ...been stuck with these charges as the public defenders office basically had him written off. Melissa knows her law and I 100% trusted her with my son's future. Melissa will fight for you and your rights.

Exceptional

From the moment we met with Melissa, we knew she was the right person to represent our son. She listened to our situation, did not pass judgement, and was very honest with us. She helped us understand our rights and our son's rights. Melissa is authentic in her approach and her communication. It ...was very clear to us what steps we needed to take and how to go about the processes. Melissa made us feel valued and human, especially our son. She connected us with the right resources and our son has thrived because of it. We are extremely thankful for her services.

I can sleep now...she is an excellent choice.

A lady you want representing you. I was so nervous and had no clue what to do who to ask, finding Melissa was a blessing. She listened to me, answered my questions, her staff is professional and courteous. My English is good but not perfect, she and the staff had no problem with my accent. She made e...very effort keeping me informed about my case. My case was very old and never had been dealt with by the first attorney I paid for. I found out I had a 15 year warrant and possible charges still. I was fearful I would not get my license renewed in my current industry or the hospital job I was working towards, because of this. She took my case and after talking to her just twice I felt comfortable with her representing me. By email and phone calls she informed me every step, what she needed from me and what and how I may achieve these goals, I didn’t feel worry anymore. The judge dismissed my charges and sealed my records. The best outcome I could have wished for. M

Honest and persistent

Melissa was extremely honest in letting us know what she could accomplish with the charges and things she didn't think she could get the parole board to change. She was easy to contact and was patient with us during a very stressful situation. We couldn't have had a better outcome . We appreciated he...r passion for what she does and felt like she genuinely cared.

Won't take no S#!% from the prosecution

Mrs Seagers represented me in Denver county prior to her going to this law firm. I'd have to say that she wasn't there just for a pay check, she cares about her clients & really stands up for your rights. Straight up & honest with her clients & won't stand for no bull from the prosecution. Mrs Seager...s is compassionate about her line of work. She will do great things & i highly recommend at least meeting with her cause you will know by the end of your consult that she means business. This law firm is lucky to have her!
