Melina Shalysse Benninghoff

My family retained Ms. Benninghoff to represent my sister who was facing felony charges in Fresno County. Ms. Benninghoff worked hard on the case and produced a result of no jail time...informal probation and some community service. She worked hard at mitigating the situation and we were impressed wi...th her knowledge and dedication.

I hired Ms. Benninghoff about a year after being charged with 3 felonies. She took over my case, which was a very large case, and caught up fairly quickly. My case was a very publicized case in San Luis Obispo County and she handled everything amazingly! She is a very knowledgeable attorney and goes ...above and beyond for your clients. When we went to jury trial, she was amazing! She did not let the DAs Office mess around with my case and violate my rights which allowed me to get a fair trial. Due to her knowledge and skills, I was acquitted of ALL of my charges. She is amazing! I would recommend her to anyone! She is a very busy attorney because she is very good at her job and cares about her cases. A busy attorney is a good attorney. Slow attorneys, probably aren’t that good. The money I spent for her to represent me was beyond worth it. I can’t say it enough, her and her team are AMAZING! I recommend them over and over again. Ms. Benninghoff is the best around!

Melina represented our family member in a highly-publicized and politically-charged criminal case. She was a calming influence in every step of the process. In the courtroom, she was professional, tough, and very well-prepared. She fought hard for the truth to be exposed and in the end, the jury knew... that she proved her case. She and her investigator were simply amazing.
