Melvin Planas

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.

I was referred to Mel by a fellow parishioner when my son was charged with drunk driving. When we met with him, He was friendly, professional and very patient while explaining the process. At our second office visit, he already had the police report and was even able to review the police car video w...ith us. When we got to court, it was obvious he was very familiar with all the personnel and even the police officer. He was able to reduce my son's charge from an O.V.I. (drunk driving) to a Reckless Operation (a traffic offense). I would definitely recommend Mel and use his services in the future.
