Posted by Melany antio | January 24, 2022 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Don’t do it

She told me to give away my children because I had a DVRO against me which wasn’t tried yet. She also told me to give my ex husband a waiver of alimony. I paid 13 grand for her to give my ex husband everything that’s mine. Two years later my children are still out of state and every other attorney sa...id this was a horrible move.

Melany, thank you for sharing your experience. Due to my duty of confidentiality, I cannot comment on the specifics of your case, but I do not believe this represents a fair and accurate portrayal of events. That being said, I wish you peace, happiness, and all the best in life!

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.
