Melanie E Beauchamp

I hired Ms. Beauchamp to represent my son in a marijuana DUI case in 2015. She was presented all the facts of the case before she accepted it along with a steep down payment. At each opportunity she could, she delayed the case/court dates and then demanded further payment to continue the work. As ...our case became 12 months old and our total bill neared $10K, she said she would consider "capping" the amount yet the bills kept coming and we were no further along on his case. As we approached $15K in payments, she apparently realized that Gilbert Court was not going to accept her proposal for a plea agreement causing her to go to a jury trial and suddenly she dropped us as clients!!! When we requested our complete file for another attorney, we found very poor notes, missing interviews with witnesses, toxicology report with missing pages, etc. In addition, she charged us a premium for the incomplete records! She is unethical and is truly out to make fast money by doing as little as possible. She had no intention of representing my son in a jury trial and when that became evident, she lied to the judge in order to drop our case. I would warn anyone considering her services to RUN as fast as you can away from her office. There are many other reputable and ethical attorneys in Phoenix as Ms. Beauchamp is not one of them. I never should have hired her and regret it to this day.

Melanie's law office were completely professional and their online services provided exceptional communication. Melanie is confident, aggressive and thorough. She found the injustices of my case and represented the facts as they occurred and delivered a flawless argument that lead to a dismissal with... prejudice! Thank you Melanie and your staff!

I had already interviewed several other attorneys from mega size offices and was impressed with their credentials but over whelmed with the size of their office and all the fancy titles (like of consul, etc) and the "layers" of services they offered and frankly shocked at the flat prices I was quot...ed which were going to be non-refundable plus I was going to be responsible for a lot of extra expenses like travel time, xerox copies and who knows what else. This really bothered me and was the main reason I kept looking. I read a lot of reviews.. some excellent, some good and a few that almost made me cross this lawyer off my list. That would have been a mistake.... a huge mistake! A few minutes on the phone with the friendly and knowledgeable person who answered (I think a paralegal) convinced me to make an appointment for the very next day to meet the attorney to discuss our case. Her office was located just off the 10 at 44th street (Ahwatukee) and was just the opposite of the other offices I had visited. We were greeted by a very nice receptionist who had us sit in a nice conference room and brought us bottled water while we waited a few minutes for Melanie to join us. I am pretty sure her practice is just her and at least one paralegal and the receptionist. When she came in she made us feel very welcome for this interview. I was very impressed with her knowledge, experience and most important a feeling that she was really interested in our case and after listening carefully to the answers we gave to her questions I was honestly totally shocked when she said that she really felt that paying her a lot of money for her help was unnecessary. WOW! She also offered if there were problems that we still needed help with that she would be glad to become involved when we called back but she seemed confident that this case would have a positive outcome without her direct intervention. I kept her card and hope that we do not need her but if we do need her or if any of my friends do I will absolutely recommend her.
