This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Service and Very Professional

I can’t say enough about Melissa Tung and Seo Family Law. I had to hire a lawyer after 7 years of being divorced from my ex; he opened another case. I was not impressed with my lawyer who handled my divorce, so I knew I wasn’t going to re hire him, My friend who is currently going through a divorce ...strongly recommended Melissa (Seo Family Law) After meeting Melissa and going over my current case with her and her colleague April, I felt an immediate bond and strong about their work. Melissa is prompt in returning calls and emails. Always very professional, and has a calming energy. During my case, I never once felt uncomfortable with her not knowing what she was doing, she’s knowledgeable about Family Law, and tough when she needs to be. Melissa ensured that I was kept in loop at all times when she had to interact with my ex. I really wish Melissa and Seo Family law handled my divorce seven years ago. She did what should have been done initially. Her services were so good that my ex complimented her and told her he enjoyed interacting with her during our case. He had nothing but nice words to say to her. My ex is not a talkative person. For him to write her a nice email is HUGE!

Would Definitely Recommend

Melissa was amazing! She took care of what I needed, and anything I didn't understand, she made sure to take the time to explain. She's patient, concise, empathetic, and gets the results you need. I would definitely recommend her for any of your family law needs.
