Melissa is an amazing attorney and made my life so much easier from the moment I hired her. She doesn’t play games like other attorneys do, she is straight forward and to the point. She also doesn’t reach out to you every day in an attempt to drain your funds. I really appreciated that! My only wish is that I found her sooner! Anyone needing a divorce attorney would be well taken care of with her law firm!! Highly recommend!Posted on Richard Neriz2024-08-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down best attorney! Melissa stood by me for 3 years of heavy litigation, heavy false accusations from my ex wife. Melissa is able to sort through hundreds of documents I've provided to prove my innocence with ease. Without Melissa in my corner I feel I could have lost custody of my children thankfully that did not happen. Melissa's professionalism stood out the most during trial. Melissa communicates with opposing attorney's in a timely manner and courts as well. The opposing attorney caused lots of confusion to the courts and Melissa was able to sort out the truth with documents and rule by law. Her knowledge of the legal system of family court was a life saver for me and my children. I'm forever thankful the time spent on my case. I can talk all day about how well Melissa did on my case and the difficulties the opposing council casused. I strongly recommend Melissa for representation in family court. I have had multiple attorneys for family court dating back to 2012 to 2024. Melissa is the best.Posted on Genevieve Petty2024-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

During this time she provided consistency, professionalism, and always provided clear communication. She is very passionate about her role as an attorney and does her due diligence to ensure the family is represented adequately. She never gave up on my family or the case.

I have been a client of Jim and Melissa for a little over two years now in dealing with my child's father and very high tension custodial proceedings. Jim and Melissa were the first people to ever listen to and help me with my situation. I am proud to say that as of court today I now have full custody of my daughter. Melissa has definitely helped me to learn patience as well as we have had a long go at it. I will keep them on as my attorneys and would highly recommend to anyone dealing with high conflict situations. Just all around good people who care and that is very hard to find nowadays. Thank you for everything.
