Amir Showrai, Family Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have had two cases with Ms. Rogers acting as an opposing counsel (one of which is still ongoing) and I have mediated cases where I was the mediator and she representing one of the litigants. In those capacities I have been able to see how she works with her clients up close and personally. She is very intelligent, diligent, hard working, very aggressive when called for, and just as importantly, she knows when to back down in her own client's best interest, which is not always the case these days. Nuance is sometimes a lost art in family law. If I were not able to handle a case, she is someone I would refer a potential client to, and that tells you all you need to know about my unqualified recommendation.
Michelle Hull, Child custody Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I highly endorse this lawyer. She is not only a wonderful litigator but also a an amazing person. She works hard for her clients and rarely takes an intransigent stance. She is very easy to work with and has a great amount of knowledge to share with other lawyers and her clients! I would hire Melissa in a heart beat if I had a family law issue.
