Amazing attorney and strategist!!!

I have never written a review before, but I felt compelled to do so now because of how well Melanie represented me during the worst time of my life. Melanie starts by meeting with you and laying out different options and strategies that you can pursue . She was very honest about what you could expect... throughout your time with her. Watching Melanie litigate on your behalf in the courtroom is truly something special. She's very fierce in her arguments but gentle in how it comes across. On more than one occasion, lawyers from different firms asked for her advice. She is highly respected by her colleagues and the courts. The bottom line is that Melanie will work tirelessly and effectively for you.

Wonderful divorce attorney

Ms. Griffin was incredibly knowledgable and made me feel comfortable in an otherwise very difficult process. I would definitely recommend her.

Great Family Law Attorney.

Melanie was able to successfully argue my case to transfer shared custody (80/20 towards their mother) to full custody to me and supervised visitation for their mother.

Great Divorce Attorney!

Melanie helped me through a very difficult divorce & custody dispute. It was a very challenging time in my life, and it was great to know that Melanie was in my corner. She was very up front with the situation, the potential paths and long term impact on me and my family. At the same time, she was... reasonably priced, and was very sensitive to my financial situation. I am very happy with the results and couldn't think of a better, more approachable attorney to help you out.
