Horrible Attorney - Do Not Hire!

Absolutely horrible attorney. Melissa is narcissistic, dishonest, and incompetent as an attorney. In handling my case, she said numerous things that turned out to be completely false. When questioned about what she had told me, she became defensive and flat out lied about what she had said, even when... it was in email. In court, she was an embarrassment, visibly nervous and clueless about basic aspects of the law. The judge had to reprimand her several times. She took me so far backwards in my case that it has cost me a lot of time and money to attempt to fix her many errors. My subsequent attorney couldn't believe how poorly she had handled my case and the terrible mistakes she made. I really wish I had read the review before hiring her. In reading other comments, she has a contentious relationship with her clients and talks about "terminating" them. What an awful lawyer and abrasive person. Do not hire her under any circumstance! You will regret it.
