A horrible experience

I wish I had known beforehand that this attorney is apparently on probation for professional misconduct (according to this site). I must admit that I'm not surprised. Melanie forgot important facts relevant to my case, and was immensely disrespectful towards me on numerous occasions. She would often... ignore my emails, and neglect to return phone calls. When I complained about my experience, she retaliated by dropping my case without warning. Please save yourself the potential grief of experiencing what I went through, and find another attorney who will behave professionally, and treat you with respect.

Do not use this lady.

I urge you do not use this lady. I won't even call her a lawyer. She does not care about your case, she never returns call. She was very incompetent when we attended court. It was so embarrassing for me. If your making payments she will keep delaying your trial until you have payed her in full. DONT ...TRUST THIS LADY!! I fired her after the first court appearance and still waiting for my money to be returned. Once I fired her she took it upon herself to schedule me another court date seven days away to be honoree, not giving me time to seek new counsel.

It was like buying a fake purse you thought was %100 authentic!

I hired Melanie to work on a DUI case where I was wrongly refused legal counsel at time of arrest. Basically I paid $6000 for copies of paperwork and a small scene she caused while in court with the judge that just made my situation worse. The only time I heard from her was when she wanted her money.... This was my first experience hiring a lawyer and definitely the worst. I will never refer this law office to anyone. She is highly overpriced and all I got was the run around. She even sent another lawyer who had NO experience in dui's for my sentencing.
