Melissa Eileen Adams

Melissa can handle the routine offense with a few simple court appearances and to "cop a plea", but if you are looking for someone who has the intellectual perseverance to muster an adequate defense, then I would move on to a more skilled and responsive attorney. If you are looking for an attorney wh...o will put you first and vigorously defend you at the most crucial times in your case, then I would look elsewhere as well. In fact, when you need her the most, she will not be there for you. My experience with this attorney is that when the case needed her attention the most, at a critical time which would have saved unnecessary pain and suffering, she is vacationing in Mexico instead. Even though she has other attorneys that could easily have assisted her, she chose instead to prioritize a vacation at a crucial juncture in my case which in turn caused undue hardships for me. She never asked one of her partners to stand in for her and she simply left on vacation instead. She is also very poor at responding to direct questions with direct answers and instead uses very vague answers and in some cases, she simply does not respond to the question at all. As an example - I had a very large cash bail I had posted and which I was very concerned about. I sent her correspondence asking for her assurance that it was secure, she simply responded with "It should be". This, along with several other questions and concerns I had asked her about, were never answered directly or succinctly, or even answered at all. In summary, hiring this attorney was a mistake and she failed miserably in prioritizing what was important in my case during a very critical time. I would not hire her again nor would I recommend her to anyone else. I gave her 1 out of 5 stars and even that was difficult for me to do.

There is no better team than Rien, Adams and Cox when it comes to criminal defense. From 2007 to 2009 I was facing some very serious DUI charges, multiple offenses, with possible prison time if convicted. This team literally wrote the book on how Law Enforcement fails to follow their own protocols. W...hen we went to court the DA had zero admissible evidence because they were able to have everything removed because of the fault of law enforcement not following the rules. They gave me a second chance and years later followed up to help remove (expunge) any remaining offenses from my background. I am forever grateful for their efforts. Because of them I have been able to resume my life as a productive part of society. I was given an opportunity to turn my life around, finish college, and now have a high paying job where I can give second chances to others. The process in working with them was painless, I felt comfort in knowing I had a team I could trust, and they were always straight forward and honest with everything that was going on. I could write an entire book on how amazing this team is, they literally saved my life and gave me a second chance... Thank you guys, you are amazing!
