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

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.

divorce/custody client

Melody advocated for me and my boys in a complex divorce with separate property issues and criminal issues.She helped me fight for what's was rightfully mine and to protect my boys from a criminal father. Melody was always honest and laid the options out for me to decide. I appreciated her knowledge,... tenacity and compassion through the process. Because of the opposing council's failure to do their part and have their client sign before he went to jail I now have go before a judge for the final ruling. I trust Melody to get me through this final step.

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.
