Heather handled my case, and the throughout the whole process, she was kind, and advocated for me. She guided my though the process had great communication throughout the entire time I worked with her. I never felt alone, in the dark, or that I didn't understand something. She was always there for me to answer my questions. Should I or anyone I know ever need legal help again I would definitely return or send my friends/family to her. Thanks Heather!

Heather's expertise and professionalism is stellar. If you find a need for stellar representation to protect and defend your professional license, Heather is who you need on your side. She was highly recommended by other lawyers and now by me. The thorough preemptive approach she uses resulted in success in my case. Thanks again Heather for your hard work and diligence!

Dear Heather, I am writing this review to you to express my most sincere thanks for the most professional representation. You have stuck by me through the years in dealing with this very stressful case. Thank you for all the help and for always being in contact with me but mostly thank you for your representation and for bringing light into my life in winning my case. I admire your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation. I will definitely recommend Heather to friends and colleagues.

Big shout out to Heather Melone! She is a tenacious and passionate lawyer who is an expert at dealing with professional licensing boards. She kept me updated and well informed through all proceedings. I felt at comfort knowing she was fighting for me to get the matter resolved, and she did. Very satisfied with the conclusion.

I reached out to Heather Melone in a time of need, and she was instrumental in helping me resolve my issue. She was prompt in responding to my calls, extremely knowledgeable, honest and kind in consultations, and effective in finding a positive resolution. It was clear to me that she has a lot of experience in the SD justice system based on our conversations and her expediency in helping me solve my problem. I highly recommend her.

Heather answered my phone call the first time I called and she was extremely helpful. She listened and asked great questions to make sure she knew whether she could help me or not. I had spoke. With a licensing attorney in the past and they were the complete opposite of Heather in all the worst ways. So, after speaking with Heather even for a couple minutes, I was grateful for the attention and care she puts into even her consultations. She gave detailed explanations of how she could help me and answered any questions I had. I didn’t feel rushed or like I was receiving a sales pitch at all. I would gladly call her again and retain her services. Thank you Heather!

Heather was amazing and helped me through every step of my case to get the best possible outcome. She really eased by anxiety and walked me through the process. She was kind and responsive. Definitely would recommend!

Heather is a kind and respectful attorney. She knows her field of study and shows it in her actions. During such a nerve wrecking time in my life, she was able to simplify what was happening in a way for me to understand fully. She was mindful of my wishes with every step of the way. Heather remained hopeful. She made me aware of the possibilities. This experience was a great one and I'm glad to have found such an amazing attorney.

I never would have imagined I’d need help from a lawyer. I woke up one day surprised with an investigation letter from the BRN. I was extremely anxious, nervous, and afraid as I do not know how to proceed and what to expect. I’m very grateful I reached out to Atty Heather Melone. She took my case immediately and welcomed me with open arms. She acted fast and worked diligently and systematically for my case. Communication was timely and professional. Above all, she’s very friendly and compassionate, made me feel very comfortable entrusting my case with her. Her extraordinary dedication, knowledge, skills, and professionalism helped me in achieving the absolute best outcome….. the BRN case was closed. Atty Heather, thank you very, very, very much!! Please continue to help and represent other nurses in their professional battles. You are simply the best!! You rock!!

Heather is truly a life-saver. I was dealing with an expired and forfeited license issue with my board that caused me to have to shut my practice down while I applied for reinstatement. Heather helped to walk me through the entire process and helped me to gather the necessary documents and present a written explanation of the situation to the board. Her help was monumental in both keeping my sanity and helping me to present the information necessary to help my license get reinstated quickly. I can't thank her and her expertise enough. She truly cares about her clients and helps give peace of mind during these stressful times.

From the very beginning Heather was more than professional, honest, and compassionate. She didn't judge me on my situation and obtained as much information as needed. I was charged for a DUI. The CA SLP board was notified and sent a letter requiring additional information as they investigated. I looked laboriously for a lawyer that would have my best interest and help me. Finally I found Heather. She was honest about what the outcome would most likely be and worked very diligently with me to put me in the best position for the least strict disciplinary action. She promptly drafted all letters and disclosures that had to be sent to the board. She created a timeline so that I was aware of how much time I had to obtain mitigation document. She gave full details on what type of documentation I should be collecting and provided resources as well as a template for character letters. Heather periodically checked in on me and the status of my criminal case. She worked with my criminal lawyer as well which was great. She kept a very organized and detail folder of all of my documents in addition to all other information regarding my case. She notified me of any changes and when I dissolved the money left in my trust for her to use (FYI-she doesn't charge a flat rate). She even answered questions about future employment and whether I had to divulge my DUI arrest. Heather was prompt with responses and did exceptionally well with obtaining all information needed. Even if she didn't have an answer for a questions she worked hard to find information so she could be of assistance. I have nothing but kindness and respect for Heather and the company. She knew the importance of this case and her work ethic shows for it. In the end the board decided not to move forward with a disciplinary action and I know I have Heather to thank for that. Thank you so much for all that you did to help me!

Heather was so understanding and compassionate about my situation. She gave sound advice on how to proceed. I highly recommend Heather for any professional licensing board concerns.
