Divorce is tough. Very tough. I am so happy that I chose Meriwether & Tharp to help me navigate through my divorce. Melissa was phenomenal. She was responsive, empathetic, honest and transparent. Without exception, she told me the TRUTH instead of what I wanted to hear. There were no surprises. Over the months of working through and to the divorce, I came to trust her completely. Even through some complications, she reassured me while also being honest. Our approach was low-conflict and this remained important to me throughout the process. However, Melissa remained a serious advocate for me and provided me with a gentle nudge (or even a not-so-gentle but encouraging shove) when I needed it. She came to know when I needed one or the other. I remain grateful for this. Melissa always found time to respond and was profoundly patient with me. Again, divorce is tough but I hate to think of what it would have been without Melissa and the team at M&T including Kelly, Allison, Madison and all of the folks at M&T. Thank you!!!!

I would recommend Georgetta and Kristal at Meriweather & Tharp to any of my friends and business colleagues. I received great representation and my fees were fair. What more can anyone ask for in a law firm.

I’m Kai Washington.. This Review is about Michael Schlifka and Lisa Jackson, both who ended up being heaven sent angels in my life! Michael and Lisa are two of the most supportive, heart felt, hard working, determined, people I’ve ever met.. Im blessed Michael was my divorce attorney, and that Lisa was the paralegal over my divorce case.. They were an AWESOME team over my case, my divorce was everything BUT pretty. My ex wife and I have 2 kids together, my ex demanded the divorce but was being very difficult with the kids. It had even got to the point where I was set up by my ex, and my character was assassinated by my ex. To try to obtain full custody of the kids. Through it ALL Michael stayed by my side, and fought for me and my kids diligently and affectively. Michaels sense of compassion but ability to be firm when need be is on point! Michael really knows his stuff, and fought for me tooth and nail! He did not give up on me or my case, he showed up to every court date, every hearing, and fought so hard for me. Sometimes I sit back, and thank god for bringing Michael and Lisa into my life. And putting Michael as my attorney over my divorce.. When I began my divorce, I knew nothing about divorce. Was highly hurt and emotional. Heartbroken is an understatement.. I googled divorce attorneys, not knowing where to start. I came across Meriwether and Tharpe, got put in touch with Michael Schlifka. And the rest is history.. Michael always kept my kids and I best interest in mind, and never gave up on my case. My divorce was LONG and drawn out, but he stayed by my side. He answered every email every phone call, and was highly effective. In the end of my case, due to Michael’s drive and will not to give up. My divorce worked out perfectly, everything went how I wanted! I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney!.. Lisa Jackson is a very determined hard working paralegal! Lisa was there every step of the way also, she never gave up on me either. Lisa is very professional, very heart felt, and very supportive also. Lisa’s communication is ON POINT! She kept me updated on everything, and any information I needed to submit. She was always sure to let me know, she reached out when need be by phone call or email anytime I needed to know anything. Lisa has a spirit of gold! Lisa was also heaven sent to me!.. Any questions or concerns I had, Lisa was right there to make sure she answered them. She did and awesome job, at keeping all of my case information in order. Also being sure that everything was submitted and on point, Lisa is just as hard working as Michael. I’m blessed that Michael and Lisa are hard working, determined, caring, and persistent people. They were a GREAT legal team over my divorce case. My divorce was long, drawn out, and ugly.. BUT thanks to Michael and Lisa, my case ended the right way. I am more than thrilled with the outcome, they both worked hard and diligently to be sure my outcome was the best. I am forever grateful, and blessed for Michael Schlifka and Lisa Jackson!

Mariwether & Tharp helped make an extremely tough situation go smoothly and seamless. They were perfect!

Melissa was with me every step of the way during a very difficult time. She was very professional and responsive...my divorce was finalized in a timely manner and she was always there to answer my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Melissa!

Ms. Bowman did an amazing job with my divorce. She took what seemed impossible and overwhelming to making it something that was achievable and doing so in a very efficient yet sensitive manner. She was quickly responsive to questions and emails which helped me stay calm during this time. She was on top of it from the beginning and did not let things get drug out and take longer than necessary. Her staff was always supportive, responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Amazing support, strategy and efficiency. Took what felt overwhelming and impossible and made it realistic, achievable and before I knew it the divorce was final. Highly recommend without reservation.

Melissa assisted us with a prenuptial agreement. Everything was very professional and straight forward. She listened to my requests during the initial meeting and those were accurately reflected in the agreement. Her attention to detail was outstanding and she does what she's going to do, when she say's she'll do it. You can count on Melissa for excellent representation.
