Serendipitous

I was in a Jefferson County court room requesting a protection order be granted on behalf of my son, Mr. Melihercik was in the same courtroom. I did not know Mr. Melihercik at the time, but would later come to find out how serendipitous this encounter would prove to be. My son was the victim of ...a very offensive hate crime, and his perpetrator was charged with a petty offense. Mr. Melihercik offered his advice and guidance. I was impressed by his relaxed manner, and agreed that Mr. Melihercik represent my son. Mr. Melihercik worked for the DA’s office before going into private practice for himself. He studies and understands law, and human behavior. He has tremendous knowledge, skills, training, and insight to understand potential strategies defense counsel could attempt to use when questioning individuals, in this case, my son. Mr. Melihercik,s counsel was detailed, thoughtful, and he made a very uncomfortable situation tolerable. His actions were pivotal in the outcome of the case. In my opinion, Mr. Melihercik went above and beyond by inquiring if additional charges would be added in addition to the petty charge imposed by Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. It was Mr. Melihercik, who acknowledge the crime my son endured merited more than a petty offense, and with further investigation he proved to be correct, and additional significant charges were added. My son was granted a Permanent Protection Order. Mr. Melihercik is an attorney I would highly recommend to anyone who wants an ethical, meticulous, highly skilled, and knowledgeable attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

Very happy with representation of Mr Melihercik. He provided clear explanation of the entire legal process and answered all my questions, providing answers and recommendations I didn't know of. He worked the case and provided updates via meetings, phone calls, emails, I never felt unrepresented or i...n the dark. Even explained billing and provided assistance after case settled. Very satisfied with representation and recommend. Thank you.
