Posted by anonymous | March 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Child Support Hearing

My ex-wife claimed that I owed her money for prior medical bills for the kids, and tried to raise my child support and have the court find me in contempt. I met with Mel to discuss my case and found his fee to be very reasonable compared to the other attorneys I had met with. Mel immediately starte...d to work on my case and met with me a few times to go over my case before the court date. At the hearing, Mel was extremely prepared. On the other hand, my ex-wife's attorney seemed to fumble through the hearing. In the end, the Court dismissed the contempt charge and I didn't have to pay any additional money to my ex. I was very happy with Mel's representation and will definitely go to him again.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
