Highly recommend!

Melody represented me in my divorce. Melody reviewed my case, kept me informed and was available to answer any questions I had and reassure me when I needed reassuring. I was satisfied with the outcome of my case. Melody was compassionate, kind and listened to me. In court she is very impressive, fou...ght for me and gave me back a part of me that was lost during my divorce. Melody understood how difficult and scary this process was for me. She is truly amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and recommend her.

Melody secured and made my custody rights with my daughter stronger

Melody reviewed my case, kept me informed on what she planned to do and explained the process the day of my court case. She also reviewed my current custody court order and found weaknesses in it, which would not guarantee my custody rights. So she made changes to it and we got my ex to agree. Mel...ody Trujillo made my future with my daughter more secure than it was before, Thank Melody.

completely utterly disappointed

she was recommended to me, I had my doubts and now being in the court room with her for a second time, I have no doubt that she is NOT the lawyer to hire if your looking for some one to represent, defend or advocate for you. Case was pretty much handed over to her sealed and stamped and yet she still... managed to let it slip through her hands. For $3000 she did absolutely nothing for my case and with the solid evidence I brought to the table I could have had a much better outcome had I gone in self represented. On another note, she is almost a shame to watch in court against other attorneys.

Spinning wheels

I have used Melody for two years and she drained me more financially than my ex wife did. She can not end a case a have things settled with my ex she leaves the door wide open for her to bring back in her attorney and gain back in child custody what I fought and paid for Trujillo to gain. I think I ...have paid her enough to put her kids through college. I sadly still have her for now but seeking to change attorneys fast.
