Can't say enough good things!

Melissa represented me in a recent car accident. After the accident, I was totally overwhelmed. I had no clue how my medical bills would be covered, let alone the time I had to take off work. Melissa made everything easy. She removed the stress and allowed me to focus on getting better. She checked i...n with me regularly, and she really went to work negotiating my claim after I finished treatment. I trusted her to do a great job, but the results far exceeded my expectations. Thank you Melissa and GLP!

100% Recommended!

Melissa is the best. As with most people going through this process, I didn't really know what to expect, and she kept me informed throughout. I always knew she had my best interests in mind and would do whatever it took to ensure we received what was deserved. I went into the process anxious about t...he whole thing, but once I started working with Melissa I knew I would be taken care of. I would 100% recommend anyone who is going through a personal injury situation to work with Melissa. She was communicative and always quick to get back to me. She really is the best. Although I hope to never have to work with her again, I wouldn't hesitate if I ever needed to.

Top-notch attorney | Exceeds expectations

I highly recommend Melissa Westberg if you need someone to lead you through the challenge of recovering from car collision injuries. Melissa and the GLP team did an excellent job on my cases. Melissa is prompt in her communication, compassionate in her approach, and is top-notch with her ability to ...reach settlements that exceed expectations. I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so.

100% Satisfied with the outcome

I hired Melissa to help settle a case after I'd been in a pretty serious car accident at 8.5 months pregnant. After a multi-day hospital stay and the (gratefully) safe and healthy delivery of our baby, I didn't have the energy or time to think through and follow-up on a lawsuit. Melissa handled every...thing from beginning to end and completely took the stress out of the situation. As insurance companies do, there was what seemed like endless bills to reconcile and Melissa and her team were diligent and timely in their follow-up. I could not be happier with the outcome. I feel like I was well represented and appropriately compensated in the end. I am 100% satisfied and would recommend her to anyone who has been in an accident.

10 stars for Melissa!!

Melissa Westberg was fantastic! Melissa was great for a multitude of reasons, but allow me to list just a few... 1. She fought for me! There were times in my case that things were challenging and Melissa had to go out of her way to research, talk to doctors, and handle my insurance. In these s...cenarios she took care of EVERYTHING. After hiring Melissa, I didn't talk to the insurance companies one time!! This was a huge help as I was in a challenging place to handle those calls and would've really struggled without her. 2. She showed extreme compassion! I had a head injury after a car accident and Melissa was so kind, so compassionate, and so reassuring throughout the entire experience. She took away the stress and made me feel as though I could just physically heal while she dealt with everything else. 3. The money at the end was great! If I had not hired Melissa I am not sure I would've received one penny, because of her I do feel like I was well compensated for the head injury. 4. She was so patient! It ended up taking two years for my case to close and the whole time I felt so cared for. She updated and checked in on me regularly! All in all, I would give Melissa a 10 out of 10! She was fantastic and deserved every dollar she got. Anyone would be SOOOO glad they worked with her. If god forbid, I ever get another injury I will definitely be calling Melissa.
