Estate Planning

Melissa is terrific! As estate planning attorney for my wife and I, we found Melissa very personable, and certainly knowledgeable as she patiently answered all our questions, what-ifs and how-to's. We never felt rushed to just get it done, and she endeavored to ensure we understood the processes. Doc...ument presentation was impressive! Highly recommend!!

Melissa Ahlers was amazing

Attorney Melissa Ahlers was appointed to me when I was going through my case with Juvenile Court regarding my 1 yr old daughter. The process was very stressful and it did not make it easier that my ex girlfriend was very difficult along the way. Melissa was very informative, understanding and took th...e time to help me understand what was going on. She was very proactive, motivated and got everything done in a timely manner all while keeping me in the loop. I STRONGLY reccomend Melissa Ahlers.

She really worked hard at helping me get back custody of my kid. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer.
