Melissa Walker Sullivan

Melissa got me through the worst time of my life. It's scary to navigate the legal system by yourself. Melissa immediately put me at ease She was honest and straight-forward from the beginning; Extremely thorough in explaining how things work, and what I can expect (best and worst case scenario). Thr...oughout my case, which lasted longer than most, I always received same-day responses and excellent communication from Melissa and her team. From start to finish, she worked hard for me - she really went above and beyond. Even after my case had ended, I had to deal with DOL. She guided me through that process well. . Thank you Melissa for your professionalism and being by my side throughout a really difficult time in my life. I'm forever grateful to you.

Melissa Sullivan is a ROCKSTAR!!! She helped navigate charges against me during a pandemic and world crisis. She was quick to provide context about how the pacing of legal practice had changed because of the COVID-19 epidemic. Despite the pandemic, Mellissa dug deep for the truth in my case. She w...as able to unpack the dynamics of a very complex family system and circumstance, allowing her to understand what had transpired, what motivations were at play, and identify all of the key players involved with my case. In the midst of the proceedings, the prosecutor's office became unresponsive and she diligently pursued them. She attempted to transmit the key information of my case to them and actively worked at obtaining reasonable agreement terms with them. Finally, she offered advice and left the decision making up to me. There was never an interaction where I felt talked down to, belittled, or that I was less than because I didn't understand legal practice as well as her. She was always respectful, direct, and professional.

I was charged with a DUI following a minor car accident. Melissa was recommended to me by a family friend and now I know why! From the beginning Melissa was confident, reassuring, and compassionate. I immediately knew I was in good hands and had full confidence in her ability to fight for me. Melissa... checked in weekly with updates and reassuring words when I was worried. My case was dropped to a lower non-criminal charge and completely dismissed by the DOL. I am forever grateful for Melissa and everything she did for me during the most stressful time of my life!

I had never been in trouble in my life, so getting arrested for DUI was a real stressful situation for me. Melissa walked me through all of the steps to get my license reinstated, and we managed to successfully plea for a lesser charge in court. She was quick to address all of my concerns, responde...d to emails swiftly, and was a calming presence when my anxiety was off of the charts. She is an honest and very nice person. I'd recommend her to anyone who has made a similar bad life choice, she'll get you through it!

I first went to Sullivan Law Group PLLC over 5 years ago, after going through a particularly difficult time and getting multiple DUI related infractions within a week timespan. Her business partner and husband, Brian Sullivan, assisted me with those cases in a prompt, and capable manner. He managed t...o help combine the cases and set up a deferred prosecution, which not only put the charges on a relative "hold" but also helped to turn my life around- all while being understanding of my emotional and financial situation. Five years later I mistakenly misunderstood the terms of the deferred prosecution by committing a traffic infraction that violated the terms and put the entire deal at risk. Due to this misunderstanding, I had also managed to get a warrant out for me. I called their law firm in a panic after receiving information about the potential consequences of my violation and they quickly called back and set up a meeting. From there, Melissa took charge of the case and discussed all the possible outcomes with me in a realistic yet optimistic manner. My original lawyer, Brian, came out of his way and into our meeting to say hello and assure me I was in good hands. A very personal and appreciated touch. Melissa advised me of all documents to gather and kept me updated on what her steps, hopes, and needs as my lawyer were. Within two weeks we had a court date to get warrants quashed, as that was the most pressing issue, but thanks in large to her preparation all cases and problems were settled and my deferred prosecution was ended on good terms with no further legal repercussions. I have recommended family members to this law firm, and will absolutely call on them again if anything ever occurs. Melissa was kind, gracious, and understanding while still practical and very hard working. She was also more than happy to talk through the "legalease" and explain what was going on when she could tell I was panicked by the unknown potentials. She fought my case with professionalism, compassion, and care. My thanks can't be expressed enough for all the Sullivan Law Firm, and Melissa, have done for me and the family I've been able to build and maintain in part to their hard work!
