Melissa Anne Jesmer

I reached out to Melissa during Covid needing some immediate help and representation, for what ever reason covid had an impact on attorney availability and Melissa took appointment with me right away. I had reached out to at least 4 other attorneys and all were months out. At our forest meeting I ...was so impressed with her attentiveness as I described my situation. She assured me that my case would be approached with the best interest of my children in mind and a focus on meditation. That is exactly what she's done and her ability to achieve positive outcomes is appreciated. Melissa is easy to reach and always responds quickly. I recently had an issue with the other party not complying with court order on a Sunday morning, I reached out to Melissa by text on her personal phone and she replied immediately! I felt bad for bothering her on a weekend and told her such, she replied, "this is exactly the reason that clients have my cell phone. Don't worry about bothering me on the weekend." That to me is above and beyond! I'm so thankful for Melissa and her expertise in navigating family law and her willingness to not drag every little thing before the court. She will reach out to the other party and try a resolution through conversation and negotiation. Thank you Melissa Atteberry!

This Attorney is one of the most incompetent attorneys I have ever met. She tries to sell herself as being compassionate with an ability to resolve things through mediation. Unfortunately she is none of those things. In the Courtroom she is unable to follow instructions from judges and is never pr...epared. She always has an excuse of not having received documentation from other parties or has misread court calendars. She shows up in the wrong courtroom or is always late and is never prepared, does not read declarations filed by opposing parties prior to court, and then tries to tell the judge she just received the document, even though dated days and sometimes weeks before. Unfortunately all of the above isn’t the worst. Here’s where it gets really bad. She will continue to take your money and tell you that there is a hope of winning even after losing on your issues multiple times she will continue to appeal with no bases for the appeal. The only interest she has is your money. As far as trying to mediate with opposing sides, there is never any compromise. Her only goal is to continue to litigate your case for as long as she can so as to optimize the amount of money she can get from you. My advice you’re better off on your own than to have her as an attorney.
