Extremely Dissatisfied

We hired Meldie's Law firm to help us adopt a baby. When we first contacted her law office we were put in touch with an associate. She said all the right things, made it seem like they were successful in matching adoptive parents with birth mothers. They knew what they were talking about. It seemed p...erfect. After our home study was completed, we got matched with a birth mother right away. We agreed to move forward and create an adoption plan with this Birth Mom. This is when the services of both Meldie and her associates declined significantly. All they wanted from us was money. They did a horrible job interviewing this birth mom and their background check was less then par. The background check stated this women had no known Facebook. In one search, I was able to find her no problem. I was then able to find out that this Birth Mom was a fraud just by reading a few things on her Facebook. When we confronted Meldie about it, her response was "oh thats too bad". We had paid them several thousands of dollars. As some birth mom's do disappear with no word, and we were aware of that, Meldie and her team stated specfically " there are no red flags". Unfortunately, after Meldie charging us for every text, phone call, voicemail, email, related to this adoption plan, we lost most of the money we had given her. This adoption plan was disrupted. The contract we signed with them was for one year. We were hopeful we would get another match soon. Today is our one year since we started working with Meldie and her team. Since the disrupted adoption I heard from her associate one time and never heard from Meldie again. We are still without a baby and out a lot of money. Its like they took our money and ran. I would NOT recommend Meldie or her associates to anyone. They caused us nothing but grief.

We are very sorry you feel that way. We recognize that even under the best of circumstances the adoption process is extremely emotional and the outcome can be uncertain. As an adoptive mother and an adoptee, we dedicate our professional lives to making the process as stress free and successful as possible but we recognize and share the heartbreak when matters don’t turn out as we hope. The vast majority of our clients praise us for our exceptional professionalism and high ethical standards. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly regarding your experience.

Very caring

I just want to be a testimony of how caring and reliable Meldie has been to me. They are very understanding and trustable. If you have any case regarding adoption they are the right people and right law firm. I was very lucky to find them. I found them through googling because of their high rating an...d now I see that every testimonial was right. Thanks Meldie and Monica. I always pray that you continue to help people and be strong.

Excellence in action

We hired Ms. Moore to help us work through a difficult IEP case for our son and we are so glad we did. She is extremely knowledgeable in the field of special education law. She helped us mediate a resolution with the school district that resulted in a successful outcome and gained us the placement we... needed for our son. She was accessible throughout the process, thorough in her communications with us and the district, and a truly great advocate. She is professional and assertive yet in a non-confrontational manner. It was very reassuring to us knowing we were working with a competent, compassionate and experienced attorney. Hiring her helped to alleviate much of the stress we were feeling. I would highly recommend Ms. Moore to anyone who is seeking a special education attorney.
