Disappointed

I hired her, and was extremely disappointed. She was not nice when I called, and almost played the victim card when I called to ask questions, she was short and abrupt. If I am paying for help, I do expect the drive, compassion and assistance in ideas etc to win a case, but she basically gave up and ...I never have been so disappointed, felt like I wasted money on nothing. In the end had to hire another lawyer.

I actually asked you to hire another attorney. I recommended someone to you and even worked with that person in getting the two of your together. I forgave your remaining balance. We were not a good fit, despite having a good experience on your previous case. A good attorney knows when to step away from a case. I'm glad you ultimately had success with your new attorney!

Melissa really helped me out of a very tough situation. She was compassionate and most of all listened to me. I have dealt with many attorneys in business and most of the time they tune you out. Melissa took the time to explain the circumstances to me and guided me accordingly. I highly recommend her....

Adept Attorney

As a first time offender, I was terrifed at the thought of having to hire an attorney. Melissa handled my case with care, knowledge and finesse. But for hiring Melissa, I would not have received the outcome I did. If you are looking for an attorney who will give you the big picture while helping yo...u through each step, I would highly recommend Melissa Trollinger.

Competent and Compassionate

I hired Melissa on the recommendation of a friend in law enforcement. I was like a dear in the headlights as I had never been in anything close to this kind of situation before. Melissa patiently listened to my story and explained all of my options every step of the way. She clearly knows the law,... the system and the players all of which made a difficult situation much less painful. I am working with her again to wrap up some details of my case and would recommend her in the strongest possible terms.

We win!

Melissa Trollinger was great from the moment I met her. She consoled me in my awful situation and made me see some light. I felt confident immediately after speaking with her that the case would be dismissed. Our meetings were very informative and relaxed. She made me feel at ease. Melissa won my cas...e as she expected and I couldn't be more relieved. Thank you Melissa for you hard work and calm demeanor! f

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
