Exceptional Attorney – Truly the Best

I have been represented by Georgina Melbye since 2021, and words cannot fully capture how exceptional she is. Her knowledge of the law is vast, but what sets her apart is the way she combines that expertise with genuine care for her clients. She treats every detail with precision, never cuts corners,... and always makes you feel like your case truly matters. Over the years, I have seen her fight tirelessly, always prepared, always professional, and always one step ahead. In court she is sharp, confident, and persuasive. Outside of court she is patient, clear, and incredibly supportive. Thanks to her dedication, I never felt alone in the process, she gave me strength when I needed it most. If you are searching for an attorney with unmatched skill, integrity, and heart, I cannot imagine a better choice. She is outstanding in every sense of the word.

Georgina is a class act

Georgina began working on our child custody an divorce case over 5 years ago. Though she was able to open and close our difficult case within a year, I have been fortunate to consult with her since that time. She is wise, honest, helpful, and ‘tows the line’ in sticky situations perfectly! Highly rec...ommend.

Highly professional service that I would highly recommend to anybody!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the team of people over at Kalamaya Goscha, especially the services of Ms. Georgina Melbye. Since the very beginning of my DUI case, she was there making sure that I felt comfortable and in the know with everything going on. Being that it was my very f...irst court case ever, the whole process felt pretty scary and overwhelming. Having Georgina there made everything clearer, less confusing, and and overall just took a lot of anxiety off my plate. When it came to the sentencing of my case, instead of simply settling on the normal sentence the judge would typically address in this scenario, Georgina spent months and months fighting to get me a better plea deal from the DA. In the end, she did exactly that, and I am so grateful. She is professional, she works hard for her clients, and most importantly she is just really good people. Easy to communicate with, straightforward, nonjudgemental and compassionate. I can’t thank Georgina and the entire team and Kalamaya Goscha enough for their time and services through such a scary and uncomfortable time. Would highly recommend to anyone going through any legal troubles.

My first time having to get a Lawyer

Sometimes mistakes are made in life and circumstances require legal representation. This was my first time having to get a lawyer and I cannot tell u how happy I was that I went with Kalamaya/ Goscha. Georgina did everything she said she would do and fought for the best outcome possible. She took the... time to communicate all the legalities concerning my case and in a way that gave me confidence for a positive outcome in my case. I am grateful for how my case ended and would recommend Georgina to anyone who needs a lawyer
