Best Business Attorney We've Found in 25 Years

My partner and I have do multiple real estate transactions (both residential and commercial) each year, and have bought, built or sold three companies in the past four years. Melissa has flawlessly handled each of our transactions since late 2012 and we could not be more pleased with our relationship..., which we intend to continue on with for many years to come. She is a brilliant mind, a brilliant strategist, a brilliant writer and a brilliant listener. And once she has gathered all the facts and details, Melissa works quickly and efficiently. For anyone needing a terrific attorney on their side, we highly recommend Melissa Sayer.

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.
