Posted by Erika | April 25, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Professional and Compassionate

Melanie Baillie is a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer. With her help and guidance I was able to won my custody case, and secure a future for my daughter that was in her best interest. I highly recommend Melanie to anyone who is needing one of the most experienced, trustworthy and hardworking lawyers..., especially in cases involving children. Even months after she continued to offer additional knowledge and expertise that related to my case. I will be forever grateful for her help and guidance with my custody case.
