We believe our clients are best served by attorneys who focus on their transactional needs and the avoidance of litigation. To this end, we try to provide our clients with strategic legal advice and contracts tailored to their specific business objectives, and often for a flat fee. We know you are looking for efficient and prompt service at a reasonable price, and we realize that such service is not always available. We aim to provide such representation, because only satisfied clients provide repeat business and future referrals.

Melissa Marsh is an excellent and remarkable real estate attorney

An extremely brilliant attorney dealing with real estate and landlord tenant issues. She has helped us with our family business over the last six years and has handled several very difficult cases for us with very favorable outcomes in all of them. Melissa Marsh’s rates are very reasonable and I consider the legal advise she provides the best you can get. Fred W

Melissa is a firecracker. All I can say is USE HER!!!!! Her advice is straight and direct. No BS. Second time I use her and I will always consult her before I hire an attorney.

Great transactional lawyer

I retained Melissa Marsh on a couple of transactions. I found her to be very accessible and flexible, thoughtful, thorough and conscientious. I shall certainly use her again if any legal issues I may have are in her area of practice. She is quite personable, too.

Savy Business Attorney

I was very fortunate to have found Ms. Marsh to assist me in restructuring my jewelry business. She was kind enough to spend time with me on the phone. About a month after our initial conversation, I retained her to restructure my business and her fees were very reasonable. She is professional, responsive and a straight shooter- she will tell you how it is, the good and the bad, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Melissa Marsh for all business legal matters.

Excellent Lawyer if you can get her

She does a lot of transactional work. But also great for advice on litigation. She graduated 3rd in her class from Loyola. This is the best inside counsel you could ever hope to have.
