Melissa Dawn Eckstrom

I am very grateful for Melissa representing me in my family law case. This was a highly vulnerable and difficult time for our family. My family and I were dealing with false claims and a CPS report that came from my child’s school. The timing was unexpected and unforeseen. We feared discrimination b...ias towards our national origin. Melissa brought confidence and support with her. I felt much safer having Melissa by our side. She was compassionate, very informative and supportive from the moment I called to consult with her. I consulted with another firm but I felt that Melissa cares about my family’s wellbeing. In times of crisis, communication and compassion are of most value to me. I hired Melissa remotely even though she was outside of our local county. It was the right call us. She coached me and was with me over the phone as I prepared to speak to CPS. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance in their family law case.

Melissa is an excellent attorney and I will forever be indebted to her for how she helped my family out during an exceptionally difficult time. She is such an amazing advocate and navigated an incredibly complex and contested dissolution case that involved DV, high confidentiality needs, as well as c...ustody of young children. I honestly don't know if my kids and I would be safe and thriving as we are today if not for Melissa's help. I feel so incredibly fortunate for Melissa's help and don't think I could have found a better attorney to help me through this process. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond in every way. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney who is smart, ethical, empathetic, persistent, and thoughtful.

My daughter is the most important aspect of my life and so I was diligent in my search for a great attorney. I had fired a previous attorney and had consulted with a few others in an attempt to find an attorney that I believed would strongly fight for my case. I was not disappointed when I found Meli...ssa. Melissa represented me in a family law case that went all the way to trial. Throughout the entire process she offered guidance and advice that steered me in the right direction when making important decisions revolving around my case. She was in constant contact with me and would do her best to get back to me as soon as possible if I had any questions. She told me that her policy was to get back to clients with non-urgent matters within 48 hours maximum, but 90% of the time I heard back from her within just a couple hours. I don't want to go into too much detail on my personal case, but I do want to say that Melissa went far above what I paid her for. She is an attorney that is actually passionate about her client's case and fights hard for a positive result. I started my case (without Melissa) with just 8 hours a week with my daughter, and I walked away from trial with 50-50 residential time and primary custody. Thank you Melissa
