Truly amazing service top to bottom. Cannot express how much of a life changing decision this made when having Traci represent me. From the front office desk, to everyone in that law firm, full professionalism, extremely helpful and will truly fight for you at all costs!

I've used Mello & Pickering since 2021 and have never regretted it. They are an excellent firm with class, expertise, and care. I've had the honor of having Jessica Pellerin represent me over the last two years, she is an impeccable attorney. She is incredibly thorough, researched, patient, forward thinking, prepared, empathetic, and always always centers the child's best interest. She'll fight for you while never ever losing sight of the child and has great insight into what a judge is likely to do. She has represented me from issues ranging from a move-away case, school placement, and holiday schedules. As a gay mother who remarried a woman, I was concerned about how homophobia from my ex-husband might play out at our hearing but she handled the topic with so much care and of course, expertise on the law. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those that have complex cases. I would recommend this firm over and over.

I hired this law firm for my alimony case that has been haunting me for years. They were able to win my case and relieve me of my troubles. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone going through family issues.

I had a terrible experience with this law firm. I was looking for an attorney to represent me in my divorce so I set up a free consultation to see if this would be a good fit. I called in, they asked me a few questions, then they set up a consultation with Jessica Pellorin. I set this up on a Thursday and they couldn't see me until the following tuesday, which was fine until I got a call the night before saying Jessica had something conflicting with this appointment. So I had to wait even longer to meet and consult with her. Once I actually had a consultation with Jessica she was so rude, degrading, and made me feel as though all of my questions were a waste of time. She would talk to me as if I knew what all of this lawyer jargon means... that's what I needed her for. Jessicas long pauses and inexcusable exhales after I would ask a question about what she was trying to "explain" to me. Jessica Pellorin is so rude, made me feel worse and more stressed out than I did before the call. I am so glad this was just a consultation, because I could not imagine paying someone to treat me this way. DO NOT BOTHER with this law firm. I found a new lawyer right away that made me feel important and like I am their number one priority right from the start. Obviously this firm doesn't want the business... they are disgraceful.

This was my first experience with a lawyer. I was embarking on an extremely stressful high conflict custody dispute. As a father, I falsely believed I was at a disadvantage simply due to my gender and felt the court would side with the mother no matter the situation. In this instance I was confronted with a motion for my child to move out of state with the mother. Alexis Revelo went above and beyond representing me. Her and her team such as Shaina Garcia are highly motivated, easy to talk to and are amazing at interpreting the sheer amount of noise that a custody dispute produces. She was honest, practical with custody expectations and always kept me true to the matter at hand when my personal emotions got in the way. Thanks to her, I am more informed of my rights as a coparent and now have protected rights as a father to maintain the bond with my son in the state of California. Hands down this has been the most stressful parental experience. I do not wish it upon any fellow soul. However, if you find yourself in the trenches fighting for your child, Alexis Julia Revelo is that of legend. I am truly taken back by her ability to navigate the complex and stressful family court system. Thanks Alexis for representing me.

From the very beginning of reaching out for a consultation I have felt so at ease, the response back from everyone is so fast and relieving. Alexis Revelo has been by my side every step of my case, I can not say enough positive things about Alexis!! Her knowledge and compassion has made this stressful time for me a lot more manageable.

Attorney Revelo is professional, thorough, and smart. She understands all the nuances of the law regarding Divorce and Separation and I am grateful she took my case. She is efficient and caring all at once. I was able to get my divorce finalized in a little over six months. She made a court date and personally oversaw the final judgement. She is trustworthy, fair, and ultra-competent. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce or separation. Attorney Revelo embodies excellence in her field of law.

Jennifer and her whole team at Mello Pickering were amazing from day one. They were professional, caring and genuinely looked out for my best interests. Navigating a divorce can be highly charged and emotional and Jennifer made sure to keep things moving forward in a way that did not enflame an already difficult situation. Needless to say, divorce is expensive but Jennifer and her team made sure to keep things direct and to the point in order to not increase my costs. I really can't say enough good things about Jennifer and everyone at Mello Pickering for helping me through an extremely contentious divorce in the best way possible. Don't look any further if you are in need of the best family lawyer in San Jose.

Alexis was an amazing attorney in my divorce case. I had a highly litigated and contested case. She has been in my corner since the beginning, and assisted me every step of the way. I could not imagine what my situation would be like if Alexis was not leading the ship!

Jennifer and Samantha were great to work with on my case. Their attention to detail and legal advice every step in the process helped considerably in the final six months of my case. Their support staff was amazing and very efficient in the requirements for my case.

I've had full physical custody of my two boys since my divorce in 2011. They're father moved out of state and although I was willing to work with him on visitation, he felt like I was being unfair. When he served me with custody papers, I was so worried and anxious of what was to come. I have always tried to do what's in the best interest of my boys, but I was worried that maybe he would not be reasonable with what he wanted versus what I was proposing (which is exactly what happened). I spoke with a few attorneys before I found Mello & Pickering. The other attorneys sounded out of touch and cold to my situation, which made me feel even more panicked. I called to set up a consult with Traci Pickering and immediately felt like I was talking to someone who had my boys best interest at heart. She focused on the facts and helped me feel at ease with the whole scenario. I was almost in tears with total relief... Traci made me truly feel like she had my back. Traci decided that her associate Jessica Pellerin would be perfect to help me with my response and in court as we proceeded. Jessica was extremely thorough and really made me feel like she understood my situation. After a failed mediation with my ex, we were set to move forward to JCC. The cost of this was really racking up and with my ex also holding out on child support, I spoke with Jessica (who was soon going on maternity leave) we decided together to have me represent myself. She assured me that she would be there for me if I had any questions. My case was then transferred back to Traci to be on a consulting basis as JCC approached. The day before the JCC, I spoke with Traci and she answered all my questions, coached me on what to expect, and reassured me that I could handle it. I cannot say enough that these women are the best thing that has happened to me since all this drama first began. What an inspiration it is to have extremely professional and strong women help me through this incredibly scary and uncertain process. If you're in need of help these women are the ones to go to! Thank you Jessica and Tracy, I couldn't have handled it without you!

Scheduled a consultation with Jennifer Mello, tried asking questions and it was like pulling teeth, she seemed to have little interest in helping me or gaining my business. Super disappointing.
