Excellent

I fully understand why this business is called ‘Swift Legal’. Everything I needed handled was handled extremely quickly and correctly! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for all things legal.

IF YOU WANT TO GET STOOD UP, PLEASE CHOOSE HER!!!

My family hired Melinda to represent us in a custody case, she has TERRIBLE communication skills and is constantly dodging me. After months of no contact I have been unable to get my money she owes me!!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I was hospitalized and communicated from my hospital bed. Apparently lawyers aren’t contained within human bodies.

Great dads matter

Mother held kids from me for a month with in 3 days of hiring malinda, she filed an emergency court hearing, wrote up a very beautiful declaration. I get to pick up my kids now and she got it done days before my bday which meant so so so so much not only has she helped me immensely but she works with... you if ur low income she doesn't base off how much you have she is truly an Angel and I will always be thankfull to her.

By far best lawyer I have had!

Melinda fought my family law case for me, she was attentive to all the questions and concerns I had. She went out of her way to contact my ex to find my kids and return them. I will not use any other attorney again. I have had multiple oc lawyers and they cost double and do half the work. By far extr...emely satisfied. Thank you for all the help!!

The best lawyer I’ve ever hired

Melinda helped me in my custody battle for my daughter. She went above and beyond throughout the whole process and got me the custody that I wanted, and was also able to reduce my child support payments that were grossly high and outdated. Melinda was very fair on price and treated me like family. I ...will always recommend Melinda Romines to all my friends and family. I now consider her a family friend and truly appreciate what she has done for me.
