Custody Battle

Melinda Romines was referred to me through a good friend . She helped me fight and win my custody battle not once, twice but but three times. Melinda is bold, sharp, intellectual and will fight for you till the very end. She console me at my very lowest and guided me through the entire process. Meli...nda went out of her way during and after hours, weekends and not to mention just recently during Christmas day! Melinda was always there to answer all of my questions with my case. I would recommend Melinda to whoever is going through a custody battle. Hands down she has helped me out a win all of my cases.

Posted by Joe | January 23, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

A lawyer who became family

I was referred to Ms. Romines from a coworker who had went through the same family custody battle I was currently going through. it has been the best recommendation I have ever used. Ms. Romines was very friendly and reachable through the whole process. I have been going through court on my own since... my child was born and it was very difficult as well as frustrating. I am so blessed I was able to find her and hire her, to help me with my custody battle. As a single father she as well as her staff always kept me up to date on what was going on and if I needed anything. Ms Romines and her staff helped me make this impossible and frustrating ordeal bare able, and in the end I was granting full and sole custody of our child. I can’t begin to thank her enough or will I ever be able to. She and her staff have made my family whole, and our child is in a better environment and home now. Thank you very Ms Romines. We are forever grateful for your knowledge and expertise and most of all your friendship.
