Exceptional Legal Representation
I cannot recommend Melissa and the Mayes Telles Law Firm highly enough! As someone who has never been in trouble a day in my life, I was suddenly thrust into a nightmarish situation involving an extremely abusive ex and his mother. It was a long and grueling battle, but Melissa truly did the impossib...

Exceptional
First and foremost, I would like to kindly say thank you for all of the hard work and attention to detail you performed during my case proceedings. This was my first time ever seeking legal counsel on a legal matter and I could not be more happy about how Mrs. Baugh handled everything. She not only t...

Liar
This lawyer did the bare minimum for my case, promised to help me petition to have my probation removed then reneged. Do not hire this lawyer she is unprepared and inexperienced.
Hi Scott, I’m sorry to read this and can certainly understand your frustration. However, I did not renege on my word. I recently transferred firms and unfortunately lost contact information for my prior clients as that stays with the firm upon transfer, so was not able to reach you. I figured my new contact information would have been provided to any clients who called or emailed looking for me, following my departure. I’m sad to see that was not the case and will be addressing this to avoid future issues. However, this is certainly a misunderstanding. I’d still love to help you get that taken care of, as I offered to do the last time we spoke. Here is my direct line at my new firm: 602-639-9018. Please give me a call tomorrow so we can discuss.

Great attorney
Melissa took my case and listen to my side. She fought for me and got me a deal that I could have never gotten on my own saving me thousands from raised insurance. I would definitely recommend this firm!

Went above and beyond
I called and spoke to several attorneys in Mesa and Tempe…. most of them failed to break down my situation and explain it in a way that made sense and honestly, some of them were mainly focused on me knowing what their “rate” was. During the free consultation, Melissa and David actually took the tim...
