The thoroughness and preparation with which Melissa approached my case was exemplary! That, along with the innovative strategies she incorporated, reduced the time frame of the divorce from a year to seven months. It was moving towards a trial which would have added another four to five months. In the courtroom, Melissa was sharp as a razor's edge. Respectful and amicable with the other side until they began personal attacks and bullying in and out of court. Melissa was not having ANY of that nonsense and the gloves came off both in and out of court! She was prepared for the other side to try that tactic and fought back with facts they weren't prepared to address. Ultimately, she did not allow my character to get decimated due to false accusations. She also read me as far as how much and which kind of information I could could take at any given time, she did not inundate me but rather waited until she knew I was ready to hear it. I could go on all day and write many more paragraphs. Simply put... the opposing attorney and ex-wife were on a mission to destroy my character and break me financially which is NO exaggeration. I know if I did not have a lawyer the caliber of Melissa, not only would these proceedings still be going on, the other side probably would've achieved their goal. You will not go wrong or regret retaining Melissa as your lawyer, it would be the smartest thing you could do!

I have know Melissa for more than 20 years and I have always know her to be an excellent advocate who is passionate about her client and innovative in reaching solutions to client's problems. I would recommend her to anyone that is in need of a divorce/family court attorney.

Melissa is a diligent, detail-oriented, thoughtful family attorney. Using a creative strategy, supported by detailed research and an excellent presentation, I was granted Intervenor status and three way custody of my grandson. Later my husband was also granted Intervenor status and we were awarded joint custody of our grandson, due in large part to Melissa's negotiating skills and caring manner. She is an excellent attorney and individual.

Melissa did an amazing job. She is brilliant hard working trustworthy and handled all the complexities of my case in a brilliant way. She got the job done quickly and got me an incredible result. I recommend her to everyone and if she had charged me twice as much it still would have been a bargain.
