I am very glad I contacted Juanita when I did. There was a legal matter I had been dealing with on my own for some time and it was getting exhausted. Initially, I was not sure which area of law applied to my situation and it took a bit of research to clarify it was a civil law issue. Ultimately, I needed a lawyer to decipher a legal form I received that contained tons of vague language. After receiving referrals, I reached out to a few attorneys to discuss details. The others did not “feel right” or did not fully inspire confidence. Juanita was the most professional, accessible, personable, to the point and heard me out. And best of all, she helped me resolve a legal matter that was starting to drag out. She was prompt to read the document, explain what it said, and clarified the language so that it was specific. I would work with Juanita again (although I hope I am not in a predicament where I need a lawyer again!) and would recommend her to family and friends.

Juanita and her team are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, especially for folks like us that have never really had to seek counsel from an attorney before. They have helped us get together on our life planning as well as disputes. Juanita was also very clear about expectations and likely outcomes and answers our dumb questions in an easily explained way. Definitely recommending and will come back for any other needs.

Stuart Mellman’s team are the only team I would trust in San Diego. Not only do they understand the law, but they execute upon it and they show mastery in even the most ambiguous situations. Stuart and his team have shown compassion, understanding and reassurance during a very stressful time. As long as I live in San Diego, Mellman & Mellman will be the firm I trust.

Juanita was helpful to us in resolving our issue with a large apartment company. We had issues with noise and the apartment management was not taking us seriously with our issue. After engaging with Juanita, our issues were resolved and we were able to break lease without a penalty. Thank you for the help. Highly recommended for someone with issue like ours.

Communication was great. Very professional and was very pleased with Stuart with how he dove right in and took care of us. Thank you

This a great Firm for Restraining Orders and Family Law issues. After spending two weeks of unsucessfully trying to find a responsive firm for my Elder Abuse Restraining Order defense, this firm responded quickly, was attentive, provided a reasonable fee stucture up front, and worked quickly and diligently on my case, included me in the drafting process of court submitted documents, won my case at trial, and received leave from the Court to file for Atty fees. Highly Recommend!

They took advantage of my family member, I would not recommend them to anyone!

It’s hard to find an honest lawyer that’s genuinely willing to help you. Juanita Guillén Mellman helped my mother and I when another lawyer had stolen out money and never showed up to court, the case had been closed and it wasn’t easy to work on. The second we stepped into the beautiful offices of Mellman & Mellman we were greeted by friendly faces who were listening and willing to help. They are honest from the begging and don’t beat around the bush which I really appreciated. Communication was easy anytime I had questions I was contacted within a hour by email phone or text. They give you options and it’s comforting knowing that this wonderful group of lawyers and paralegals are getting to the bottom of everything and are able to give you a light at the end of the tunnel 🙌🏼😊 Thank you Mellman & Mellman!!!!

My husband and I found this firm by chance. They were great for advice and handling all paperwork for our small claims against our former tenants. We also heard they handle wills / trusts and will hopefully be able to use them for that as well.

Worked with attorney Juanita Mellman and received the most professional, prompt, courteous experience. Everything was explained to me with clarity and my questions were answered to my satisfaction. While things are still working themselves out we have achieved the desired result so far with Juanita's help. We own a business and will now consider this firm first when the need arises. Thank you so much for your help!

My husband and I worked with Mellman and Mellman group to address housing issues we were having. We initially experienced some lag in response but once we connected to the right lawyer (in our case, Juanita), the demand letter and resolution fell in place pretty promptly. Juanita and her team were responsive and receptive to our concerns and resolved our issue professionally.
