Todd Lorin Melnik

My husband was on probation and was subject to "probation sweeps" by LAPD periodically. During a sweep, LAPD tried to fabricate a case against my husband because they found 2 bullets buried in a pile of dirt, junk and crap in our garage that we had no idea was there. They arrested him and were trying... to give him 2 years in prison. I knew if I allowed the public defender to continue representing my husband, he would be sent to jail for a crime he did not commit. I called Todd Melnik and he met with me that evening and I explained the situation. He instantly went to work while I was sitting in his office, making phone calls and gathering info. He is very kind, patient, and always has a smile. He returns phone calls and emails very quickly, and always takes your concerns seriously. He was very accommodating with his fee, which is also extremely reasonable. Todd was able to have the ridiculous case dismissed during the preliminary hearing.

My experience with Todd Melnik was wonderful! From the very first appt, Todd made me feel comfortable starting with his warm and caring attitude. I was very impressed with how my case was handled. And in the court I was not even asked a question due to the work that Todd Melnik had put into this cas...e. He was easy to get a hold of and very informative. If I ever need another criminal attorney I will not think twice before calling him. I highly recommend Todd Melnik to anyone who requires legal representation.

I hired Todd to have an old juvenile record of mine selaed. Todd immediately looked in to the matter and got back to me within a few hours. He told me that it was usually a 6 month process to have everything sealed and completed. I told him the urgency I was facing and he said he would see what he co...uld do. Over the next 4 weeks Todd worked tirelessly to have my files brought out of the archives so they could be sealed. All while staying in constant contact with me. After using some of his connections at the DA and the juvenile court, Todd was able to have my file sealed 5 months ahead of schedule! Todd is a friendly and easy to talk to lawyer who is truly willing to go above and beyond what is expected for his clients. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend Todd to anyone in need of his expertise.
