Run!! Don't look back your not going that way
Melody came recommended by a friend. But little did I realize my friend had plenty of money to pay for her services. I would NOT recommend her services for DIVORCE at all. When your lawyer tells you multiple times over you need to fire me cause you can afford me and makes you cry. A client should ...
It is always a dilemma for attorneys when representing clients in a family law matter when the client truly cannot afford the attorney's services. The divorce process is painful and wearing on every client no matter what the facts of the case may be. To add to a client's stress level by running up attorney fees knowing the client cannot afford them would in and of itself be wrong. Worst yet is driving a client into a future bankruptcy. We have excellent self help programs in our county and thus when a client simply is going past their means I absolutely will advise them to seek help from the Family Law Assistance Center. For many I continue to provide legal advice on an hourly basis while they represent themselves. I also encourage clients to do as much of the fact finding as they can in cases wherein money is limited. Generally clients are appreciative and we work with what we have available. I have a plaque hanging in my office which I try to live by it says, "I do the very best I know how-the very best I can; and i mean to keep on doing so until the end" Abraham Lincoln I am sorry that I was unable to meet your legal needs with the resources available. I wish you well.

In fact, she rushed me through signing a child custody agreement that was more than detr...

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...

Does not fight with case law
Melody tries to fight for your case with opinions and not case law. As soon as the opposing attorney came in from my ex she got torn apart bit by bit. At first she was great at least I thought but my ex was pro per too. Things changed tables turned as soon as she had an attorney to go up against her....
