Incredibly unprofessional woman
I contacted her for services late 2022 and received NO response after 3 attempts. Luckily, this gave me time to read her reviews.

Above and Beyond
Desperate for direction and help, I called Melissa Huelsman out of the blue from a random internet search for an attorney and she gave me real direction and sent me the links I needed to resolve my major financial obstacles so that I can move on in life. She did this for FREE!. Believe it or not, thi...

Stop foreclosure!
Melissa Hulesman is tough no nonsense attorney who is NOT afraid to take on big banks! She knows the law and the ways that banks and mortgage companies operate. She speaks their language and she doesn’t back down. I would most certainly hire her again.

RUN
I read the review from September 2016 and can say whoever wrote it was telling The truth...exact same happened to me. I have the paperwork to prove it.
I am not going to be polite in this response and act like there is any merit to this review because this person has been lying about this for years. Most of her claims were settled by her entering into settlement agreements and receiving benefits from those settlements. One of her claims against Ameriquest was dismissed by the federal court, which was a travesty. I handled the appeal of that dismissal FOR FREE which was not part of our terms of retention. We lost on appeal. That's what can happen with lawsuits, unfortunately, no matter how good the lawyer work is. But because her life continued to be a mess after I represented her, she has publicly blamed me in various settings. No one has found any merit to her assertions and they remain untrue today. The only paperwork that exists is the paperwork which makes clear that I did my job well and helped her get some resolution. It has been more than 14 years since claims were settled. Move on.
