Thank you for helping me & my family

Melinda went above and beyond to help out or family when my father got into some trouble. He was in the process of Renewing his Green Card and being charged with a felony was going to endanger him staying in the country legally. She worked very closely to me and my father and got us exactly the outco...me we wanted. He got to do minimal jail time and was able to get renew his green card. I will never stop thanking her for everything she did for my father and my family.

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.
