Melody saved me from my ex wife getting extra money out of my retirement account. She took on the union and won. Very grateful that I got all I was owed.

A huge thank you

Melody Trujillo and her staff are amazing!! They saved me a lot of time, paperwork and stress. What would have taken me 3 months or more, they were able to do for me in less than a week. Melody was able to get me everything I wanted and brought to my attention some things that I hadn't thought about ...but were just as important to me. When you go seek help in a state of panic, you tend to forget certain key things about what’s going on. She had mine and my daughters best interest always in mind. She was able to get me and my daughter safely out of the worst situation I could have ever put myself in and QUICKLY. Melody and her staff have all the gratitude, appreciation and respect I could possibly offer. I am overwhelmed with joy at the outcome of my situation.

Client:DV/Divorce&Custody

Melody helped me achieve everything I had wanted and asked for. She was there for me every step of the way. I walked into her office feeling hopeless and defeated and every time I left I left with hope, then in the end I left with having my dignity and also power over my life again. Melody also helpe...d make sure I had everything needed to make sure my son and I were safe. My first priority was and is my son, I want to make sure he is safe and that he feels safe, Melody made sure of that.

Client

I was referred to Melody by a friend from church. I contacted her after attending my first child custody hearing and feeling completely overwhelmed and depleted. After our first consultation , I felt relief. Changing a custody order is an uphill battle. I wish I would have listened to my friend a...nd hired her from the beginning! Melody is professional, fair, truthful, and honest. I have recommended her several times on social media and by word of mouth to family and friends. After complying with all her recommendations, we were able to get the custody order changed within 9 months. When I have been asked by other people within the community who I have as a lawyer, and I say Melody Trujillo, everybody responds with, extremely positive comments. Melody has an excellent reputation within this community. I feel that Melody has her clients best interest at heart, I'm glad that I was recommended to her.

Client's Grateful Wife

My husband's ex has been bringing him back to court for the last 3 years. Fortunately, with Melody in his corner, every time he's gone into court, he's come out with more! Melody made it priority number one to address what is in the best interest of the child while simultaneously identifying my husba...nd's rights as a parent. She always provided the court with extensive evidence and strong legal references to support her argument. Thank you, Melody. It's because of you that my stepdaughter will have the opportunity to know (and grow with) both of her parents.
