I just want to be a testimony of how caring and reliable Meldie has been to me. They are very understanding and trustable. If you have any case regarding adoption they are the right people and right law firm. I was very lucky to find them. I found them through googling because of their high rating and now I see that every testimonial was right. Thanks Meldie and Monica. I always pray that you continue to help people and be strong.

We spoke with Meldie in reference to our son getting suspended and potentially expelled. She really knew her stuff and explained things in great detail. She is not cheap - but keeping your kid in school is well worth the money.

Meldie assisted us with our legal issue with incredible kindness, professionalism and astute and thorough knowledge of both civil and educational law. She also had great relationships with many of the parties involved. She is well regarded and highly respected in the legal community which benefitted our case and outcome in the end. We highly recommend Meldie, and in fact I’ve referred her twice already. Her experience and mastery of the law was impressive and ultimately allowed our family to get back on track and heal from our devastating legal ordeal.

Meldie is nothing short of amazing. She made sure all of our child's needs where met and she got everything she deserved as a child with special needs.

Meldie recently helped appeal an inappropriate school suspension decision against my high school child. She proved to be very responsive and knowledgeable with great professional judgment ability. She further saved us time and money by advising us to run another informal round of private discussion with the school bedore filing a formal appeal, which approach worked out rather effectively. We would recommend her without hesitation to any other parent who may need education legal assistance in OC and the neighboring cities!

She helped us navigate the complicated and totally biased Title IV process, ultimately allowing us to successfully overturn their faulty ruling. She is a compassionate lawyer that really provided invaluable guidance and comfort throughout this painful process.

We hired Meldie Moore to help us with an educational matter. This involved representing our son in a continuing education program designed for disabled adults. Our lawsuit also involved the campus police. We were seeking justice and we prevailed. It really ended up being a win-win for both sides.

My title basically sums it all up. When I first met with Meldie, she was extremely professional and let me feel I could take as long as I needed during our initial consultation. First impressions are very important to me. Meldie was always available and responded in a timely manner. The most important thing was she always reassured me. I understand she couldn't guarantee the outcome I wanted, but I always left our conversations feeling so reassured that she was doing everything and anything she could, fighting in my corner. In the end, I am so fortunate that Meldie was able to help and guide me along the way. I will never forget how much she helped me.

Meldie Moore is an exceptional attorney! Her expertise and attention to detail is only surpassed by her dedication and commitment to her clients and achieving the very best possible outcome. Meldie is smart, confident, professional and fights for your child. We could never imagine achieving our results without Meldie at the helm! We are so incredibly grateful for all Meldie did for us and would highly recommend her services.

The entire process from contacting the firm to meeting with Meldie was seamless. I appreciate her fast response and domain expertise around options for dealing with a difficult situation for my adult son in trade school.

Had we not turned to Meldie Moore for guidance, our lives and the life of our child would have been profoundly different. It was Meldie, not the doctors, not the psychiatrists, not the counselors, not the clergy, not the school; but Meldie Moore who guided us and our child through one of the most difficult challenges of our lives. Our child, a "good" but very social shy kid, faced a mental break down due to a trauma mid High School. The options offered by "specialists" after thousands and thousands of dollars spent, offered no solution. The school was empathetic but unable to offer any direction. Short of "sending our child away" as recommended by "experts" who could never even direct us to where "away" was suppose to be nor tell us if "away" would even help, we found ourselves under Meldie's calm, knowledgeable and steadfast care. We also realized that Meldie knew more about every option available to our child than any of the experts combined. The School District did not know of or offer Meldies resources and depth of information. Meldie however knew the ins and outs of the school district, players involved, options available and what we could reasonable expect. The district knew her too and treated her with respect. Meldie met with our child personally and formed a relationship with thoughtful insight which enable her to offer ideas and options more suited to our child that we were able to explore. She went the extra step to put us in touch with other parents who had walked a path similar to ours who shared ideas and candor. Knowing we were not alone and that others had experienced similar pain, lessened the immense sadness and grief we were feeling as our world turned upside down and we struggled to understand it. Through Meldie we were able to exercise our child's IEP to complete High School at an amazing private school based on a supportive 1;1 teaching module combined with a therapeutic, wellness and life skills focus. Our child went from a child who would not get out of bed to face the day to a return of their former self as an engaged A student, eating and living a healthy life and looking forward to college. Had we not found Meldie we would have listened to "experts" and lost our child to an over priced RTC program with no guarantee of success. Instead our child stayed in our home, where we could give and get love in return, while we as parents and Meldie as advocate and our new found school led our child back onto the path of healing, self acceptance and wellness. Years ago in college I read a phrase that has stuck with me all my life, not knowing why until this past year. It was attributed to Confucius and it stated: "Do not walk in my head with your dirty feet". When you and your child are in crisis..... Dirty feet abound. Meldie's feet are clean and the path she walks and knowledge she offers are very clear. Go to her, listen to her and hire her if you should ever find yourself or someone you love in need. We are grateful we did and hope that this testimony will guide your heart to make the best possible choices for your loved one too.
