Melissa Christensen Platt's Lawyer Endorsements
"Full disclosure: I am married to this attorney. Nevertheless, I have worked with Melissa now as an associate / partner at Platt Law and know the quality of the work she produces. She is very careful and thorough with each case she works on. Her capacity to retain details of a case at the forefront of her mind as she works on matters is extraordinary. Such a trait is extremely valuable when applying complex fact patterns to the law and making recommendations for action that may have permanent consequences. She is an extremely capable attorney, and a valuable asset to our firm and to our firm's clients. From a professional perspective I endorse her and would recommend her without reserve. From a personal perspective, I wouldn't have enough room on this form to even begin singing her praises."
