Melinda Jean Kovacs

Let's just say this was not my first rodeo! Sitting behinds bars she came highly recommend for the number of years working with felony cases in Superior court. I was looking at some serious time and needed a experienced, reputable, highly qualified, honest, attorney to defend me. Unfortunately, I ...have a lengthily criminal history I acquired in the past from my younger days. Melinda is quick witted and realized right away the lack of evidence on the states behalf. Since I hired Melinda, all files were dropped as felonies and refiled as misdemeanors. During said time, Melinda was real with me, she was a straight shooter and never blew smoke! I'm no stranger to the law so I knew right away that she was very experienced and could get the job done. More than just getting the job done though, after retaining her I could finally sleep knowing she would take good care of me. That's the feeling she gives to her clients! I was proud when Melinda entered the courtroom as my representation, she simply commands authority in a special "velvet hammer" way. In the past, I have often had such experiences to where after several phone call I still couldn't reach my attorney, they were late to court, or I had no idea what was happening next in the proceedings. Not the case with Melinda. I always know what's going on, she responds promptly, answers texts, and even calls to check and see if there is anything I need or any questions I have. I could only wish more attorneys were like her! I will continue to recommend Melinda Kovacs to anyone who seeks an experienced criminal defense attorney. Melinda would be an asset to any case and any defendant who needs a trusted legal counsel. She is very easy to work with and truly amazing at what she does. Let's hope I don't run into another legal situation, but in the event - I now have her on speed dial! If your thinking this review sounds to good to be true, message me and I'll give you my email or phone number for you to call me directly...

About a year ago I had a very serious allegation levied against me for a crime that I had not committed but still had the potential to destroy the life that I had built with my family. This was the first time I had ever faced such allegations and as such was unsure how to protect myself at the time.... 9 months later, still without legal counsel, I was arrested in my home and taken to jail for a very serious crime. My wife and I were both devastated by the sudden impact and neither one of us knew who to call. On advice from a friend, my wife contacted Melinda Kovacs. Melinda immediately jumped to action. She contacted the arresting agency, a reputable bondsman, the prosecutor's office and gathered all available information surrounding my case. The arrest occurred just before a weekend and Melinda went above and beyond throughout the weekend, sitting on the phone for hours with a bondsmen, comforting my wife and ensuring me that I would be well represented. Within 3 days I was released from jail thanks to Melinda's efforts. My wife and I met Melinda at her downtown office for a consultation immediately after my release. She took a great deal of time explaining all aspects of the case and was patient with us in answering our many questions. Her knowledge, considerable experience both as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, and professionalism were what stood out most during our initial visit. Based on her experience and the initial impression, I was confident at that point that she would be more than capable of vigorously defending my rights and hired her on the spot. Throughout the process Melinda and her staff have been exceptionally helpful making themselves available during regular business hours and on numerous occasions we have spoken after hours and on weekends. She has kept us completely informed with periodic updates and has always made us feel comfortable that we could reach out at anytime if we had questions or concerns regarding the case. This has been the most difficult experience of our lives and I honestly don't know what we would do without Melinda in our corner. The confidence of having an attorney of Mrs. Kovacs' caliber fighting every step of the way has provided invaluable peace of mind that has given this family with four children and two full time jobs the opportunity to focus on our kids and livelihood. Melinda is well respected in the legal community and I would recommend Melinda Kovacs to anyone looking for a highly experienced, compassionate and responsive attorney who will fight to protect your rights.
