Great Experience!

Best experience going with the Law Offices of Mel Hatamian! I researched other attorneys but chose Mel. She was honest, and NOT pushy at all. During my initial consultation she simply explained the process to me without any obligations. She is the opposite of many

Quick Results and Outstanding Representation!

I needed legal help regarding a car accident I was involved in. Ms. Hatamian was very proficient and kept me informed throughout the process. She was able to get me a quick settlement. I just wanted it all behind me and she was able to get it done.

Family Law Savior!

Mel recently helped with child custody and visitation issue that I was having for years. Unlike other attorneys everything that she predicted went as planned. I'm very thankful for her service.

Avvo Rating

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.
