Melissa Walker Sullivan

Melissa was SO helpful in getting my case declined. She worked hard in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and once she had information for me she was calling me with updates as soon as she knew something. She fought for me and fought for justice and she was so helpful and kind and answered all me ...and my parents questions.

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!

My case was unique and there where a lot of problems within it. After I even had my free phone interview with Melissa I was re assured that I had strong backup. I’m not going to get to far into detail but the morel of the story is she got my case dropped. She responded in a very timely manner to any ...form of communication and kept me informed to any and all decisions. she knows the laws inside and out and what pertains to the guidelines within those laws. She is worth every sent of what she asks and I personally found my legal representation for the future if need be.

I was referred to Sullivan Law Group by a coworker last year. I met with Melissa immediately after my incident and she was amazing. I quickly felt the peace of mind that I needed to continue my life given the trouble I would face in the coming months. I hired her on the spot and just now is my case c...losing so I can finally give her a full review. I highly recommend Melissa, she will be with you every step of the way and truly make you feel connected as well as informed. My case was incredibly complicated and needed quite a bit of understanding of who I was as a person to truly fight for me. She got to know me and how to best represent me pretty quickly, which I really appreciated. She made me feel worthwhile and worth the effort to defend, that's a rare quality in a person, in general. A million thank yous and if you're looking to hire her, do it!!!

When I first talked to Melissa over the phone I knew she was the one I wanted with me on this case. She was eager to help and confident she could resolve my situation. It was after a long talk on the phone I figured out I was interrupting Melissa while she was on vacation! I couldn't believe she woul...d take the time out of her vacation to cater to my needs. That goes to show how real and genuine she is. I was arrested at the Canadian border (heading into Washington) when the random search of my vehicle revealed forms of MDMA. The unfortunate part of my arrest being that these drugs did not belong to me, nor did I know they were in my vehicle! It was the passenger I was traveling with who had them hidden in her purse. Why didn't they arrest the passenger? Because I claimed ownership of the car (which is true), in turn everything inside the vehicle. Things did not look good for me... Upon the explanation to Melissa of the details leading up to that moment we needed to examine the four police reports provided by the border patrol. In ONE of the four police reports it clearly stated that the substances were indeed found in a MK purse which also contained a female's license and other belongings. I am a male who does not own such a purse. Melissa was able to use this along with other relevant facts to make a deal with the judge and get me the best outcome possible. I was offered not one- but two best outcomes; one being the possession of a controlled substance/poison charge being backed down to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct in the 2nd degree, and two being a years worth of a clean record in return for a complete dismissal of the case. I was eager to close the case and move on, so on my court date I chose option one. Imagine my surprise when I see Melissa talking with an officer at my arraignment when she gives me the good news of the judge deciding to dismiss the charge all together and then write a new citation for disorderly conduct as if I had never been cited in the first place! I was thrilled considering the situation. Through this three month endure I was able to relax knowing that Melissa was hard at work to make this possible. The same day after I hired her she told me "now all you have to do is relax and show up in a couple months". The relief I felt was unimaginable. Not only did she keep me updated every step along the way, she was able to give me great life advice as the repercussions of this case took a toll on my life. If you're looking for someone who is honest, kind, determined, and a true friend- look no further and CALL MELISSA!
