Melissa is an excellent attorney, very hands on, caring, professional, and smart. We needed a lawyer to help us with our child and she got us through a difficult time. We have referred her to our friends who have also used her services and everyone loves her.

Melissa was extremely helpful after my son had a legal problem. Melissa was able to explain the seriousness of the situation to my son and work with the courts to have the matter dismissed. We are very happy with the outcome and how Melissa communicated with our son, explaining the process to him.

I am an attorney who needed representation in a municipal court matter and I did not hesitate to contact Melissa for help. She is well regarded in the legal field and I needed to be comfortable with an attorney handling an issue extremely important to me. She kept me apprised on how she was going to proceed and expediently handled the situation. I would not hesitate to recommend her to clients or friends, because her extensive legal experience has repeatedly proven to bring successful results.

Melissa was the first lawyer I’ve had to retain. She was extremely patient with me and she continuously took the time to explain in detail everything along the way. There wasn’t a time she didn’t return my call almost immediately. She doesn’t skip a detail and is very professional. In the end I got what I needed and I am forever thankful for her. Highly recommend!!
