Rick handled my case amazingly!

Hiring an attorney for any type of legal issue is incredibly stressful and even more so when it involves family. Rick balanced straightforward answers with understanding and compassion for my specific legal situation. I was comfortable asking as many questions as needed and felt like he was well ...prepared and confident to represent me at my Court hearings. I was more than pleased with the Court's ruling and would not hesitate to retain Rick again if needed.

"Rick is a thoughtful and careful lawyer who methodically pursues the best interest of his clients. He is easy to engage with and is always willing to explore options.

"I wholeheartedly endorse Rick Mellen. I have referred many people to him for domestic issues, as I don't practice in that area. I have heard nothing but praise and appreciation for his thoughtfulness, legal acumen, pragmatism, knowledge, and effectiveness. Thanks for taking such great care of my clients, Rick!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
