Melanie Avril Maxwell

Melanie helped me through a really difficult legal matter. She stayed in close communication and allocated enough time to get it resolved in my favor. I appreciate her professionalism and her sheer grit. She did what was necessary to take care of it and didn't overcharge. I really appreciate her hone...sty.

Nice to talk to on the phone but shoves you aside when she's busy. I've been waiting a while for her to help. Nice lady but seemed to busy to work my case. Why didn't she communicate in a reasonable time ? I don't know. She claims that she responds to requests promptly? This can't be further fro...m the truth. There were multiple times that she did not bother to return my calls and was unapologetic for her procrastination. She was also acting like a counselor and telling me how i should handle my oldest son and how I should talk to him. She rambled on like she is some counselor or physiologist. I found this inappropriate and disturbing. I felt like she is not personable whatsoever and is quick to denounce her own faults and blame me as potential client when posting a negative review.

I hired Melanie under recommendation from a friend and then was warned by that friend that she was screwing him out of return of money that was paid for a retainer and suggested I do not hire her. He is currently filing a bar complaint and had her contacted by another attorney to get some money back.... I HAD ALREADY SIGNED AN AGREEMENT SO WAS STUCK. She literally did nothing she promised, took no action or gace no advise on home, did not follow through on any ideas or promises based on initial consultation and then 8 months in sends me a letter she quits due to the fact she will be out of town for a personal issue - asked her for court dates and nay info pertaining my divorce status to be sent to me and she said look at your old emails to find anything - SHE SHOULD NOT BE WORKING AS AN ATTORNEY - You expect an attorney to guide you through process and suggest what to do throughout - DO NOT HIRE THIS LADY SHE IS A SHAM
