Melissa is the best attorney, I recommend everyone that’s in need to go see her. Always handled my stuff efficiently and effectively until the very end.

I contacted Melissa over a speeding ticket in a neighboring county. Although she does not work on minor traffic violations in that county, she was super nice and very kind to give me advice. She listened to me attentively and understood my concerns well. She even shared her own experience with me to make me feel better! She explained to me in great detail the potential consequences and the subsequent procedure. I am very grateful to her help and advice. Thank you very much again! Giving my strongest recommendation for Melissa here!

When we were looking for an ethical attorney to represent our son, it was a daunting task. We interviewed many attorneys, but after meeting and speaking with Matthew Izzi, I knew that he was the one to represent our son's defense. I felt he would approach his defense with integrity and respect for our son, and he did. Matthew doesn't fall into believing false accusations of articles written, community pressures and opposing counsel stacked charges, he develops his defense based on facts, based on the truth for his client, our son. He assured our son of his defense plan and collaborated with our son on the best way to develop his defense strategy. Matthew's demeaner in the courtroom is professional, no matter how much opposing counsel tries to pull his strings, he remains calm and forthright. He addressed injustices that were made against our son and explained many facts, of the truth, that sheds a bright light for the jury to see and that light doesn't go out, for that is what the truth does, it shines bright. Matthew gave us hope, something the DA tried to destroy. The Shasta legal system is a process of delays, unnecessary jail time --for our son, questionable decisions made by appointed judges, unfair bail , this is 'not' a justice system in our point of view. This was frustrating for us and for our son. We experienced many injustices during my son's trial by opposing counsel and Shasta Sheriff dept. So you need a good lawyer when you are in Shasta's court system. If you are looking for a good defense lawyer consider Matthew, he cares for his client's well being, despite the uphill battle he faces when dealing with the opposing counsel's unprofessional behaviors, different judges and Shasta Sherriff/Probation dept., etc.. One more comment, if you read anything written via yelp, social media or in the newspaper, that is negative about Matthew's character, by certain people in Shasta county, don't believe them, they can't deal with Matthew being so good at his job and believing in our son's account regarding what really happened. God knows the truth and the yappers negativity against my son, will be dealt with by God. When stacked charges are brought up against your loved one, you need an attorney who will represent your loved one, in an aggressive, professional, intelligent and smart manner. The highlight is-- you need Matthew who will believe in you and will work diligently to prove your loved one's innocence. Matthew helped me understand an area, that I wasn't familiar with, the legal system, this also helped our son fight the system for his innocence and to try to get through the difficult situation. Matthew's staff is friendly, listened to me through many phone calls regarding my frustration with the Court process, the DA and Sherriff dept. So consider Matthew for your defense, this will be the most important decision of your loved one's life.

Would 100% recommend Mr. Izzi. Great guy and good attorney as well. Thanks again for your help Matt!

Matthew Izzi saved my life! I was falsely accused of some extremley serious charges, 6 felony counts and was looking at spending 28 years in prison. From the beginning he was professional and took ahold of my case with confidence that he could defend my case with a positive outcome. I was scared not ever being in a position like this one that I found myself in, but I knew in my gut that I was in the right hands. I was cleared of all charges thanks solely to Mr. Izzi's efforts and his investigation team. If you are looking for a lawyer that truly knows the world of law inside and out and you find yourself in a serious situation as I was in. Then know you are in the best hands with him! Thank you Matthew Izzi for saving my life!

Matt knows his law and works FOR YOU! GREAT LAWYER HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Great lawyer

Melissa helped me navigate a difficult time in my life. She was professional, always responded to questions and concerns promptly (always returning phone calls within a day or two), was kind and considerate, but also honest and forthcoming about what my options were at each stage. Knowledgeable and relevant (aware of new laws going into effect), she fought hard for me and tried every recourse she could to help me get the best results possible. I will be highly recommending Ms. Fanoe to friends and family in the future.

I can not recommend Matt enough. Such a great person to talk with. He made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable time. An honestly great lawyer with a great practice!

Melissa fought very hard for me in a case I was not guilty in and we won. I am so thankful for her she is amazing women I couldn't of asked for a better attorney
