Amazing Lawery and Amazing Lady

We are so thankful to Melissa and all the help that she gave us. We knew we needed a trust and will since buying a home, she helped us every step of the way and answered all our many questions in a professional manner. I will be using her again if I ever find myself needing a lawyer in the future.

If I could give Melissa 20 stars I would shes amazing!

Lets just say if you do not hire Melissa to represent you in family court than you are making a mistake. Melissa is not a materialistic attorney her main concern is the well-being of your child and its not about whats best for her as an attonery its about what best for her clients children and god sh...e was their for me, every single step of the way. My case even considering how dificult it was and how much anxiety i had throughout my case. Melissa held her ground with me and she helped me become stronger, smarter, and a more determined parent than i ever hoped to become. It was like she knew exactly what i needed to accomplish and she did it with her educational insights along the way. Shes the best attorney in las vegas. She gave me my life back with my child! I can't even stress enough how lucky I am to of found and hired her. She kept my daughter in her heart throughout my whole case. I am so grateful Melissa!! You should be the number 1 family attorney in Las Vegas you deserve that recognition! And Ashley you rock!!! I can't begin to thank you enough for answering my calls and listening to my issues you are so fantastic Melissa made the best decision selecting you!

Excellent and compassionate family lawyer

Melissa represented me in a child custody case that went to trial and we got the outcome we were hoping for! She was so compassionate in that stressful time and helped build my confidence in seeking the right thing for my child. She really kicked butt in the court room as well, showcasing her knowled...ge and professionalism. All around awesome lawyer!

Posted by Emanuel | August 31, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Emergency Vehicle Traffic Ticket

Received a moving violation ticket out of state. When looking for legal help, nobody would respond. It was frustrating because I didn't want points on my record. That's when I found Melissa & she took the case right away. She was very helpful and gave me peace of mind that she would do everything pos...sible to lessen the ticket. She got this settled in less than a month. If you are looking for someone to help you, Melissa Barry is the one to choose. Do not look anywhere else or you'll be wasting your time. Let Melissa Barry represent you. Only paid $98 for the ticket (which was lessened to a parking ticket).

Extremely thankful

Melissa is beyond wonderful when it came to my case. At one point I had hit a bump in the road during my time in Veterans Treatment court but she handled it quickly and efficiently. I never thought that I would build a great and trusting relationship with Melissa throughout the process but she really... pushed for the best outcome for me. I highly recommend Melissa because she really did help me through the whole process and actually made me get back onto my feet again so i could truly make a change in my personal life.

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.
