I highly recommend Amy Melton and her staff! I interviewed a couple of attorneys prior to visiting Amy. What stood out about her first was how friendly and caring she was. She did not rush through her initial consultation and asked many important questions besides answering all of the questions and concerns I had. After speaking to her the first time I didn’t hesitate to hire her. It soon became obvious that my ex was going to be difficult. Amy handled all of his demands and his constantly changing legal advisers with professionalism. I especially appreciated how Amy and Sue, her paralegal, got me through difficult roadblocks during the divorce by talking to me and putting everything into perspective! By the time my divorce was final I felt like Amy and Sue were more friends than hired professionals. The outcome of my divorce was positive. It took awhile to finalize due to Covid beginning shortly after we filed. But Amy and Sue made it all work in spite of the lockdown. If I ever need another lawyer Amy Melton would be my first call. I have already recommended her to a few people. The cost of my divorce, I feel, was competitive and reasonable. They will work with you regarding payment and they try to be as frugal as possible. I don’t know what I would have done without Amy and Sue in my corner!

Amy is trustworthy and dedicated to her clients. She is very knowledgeable and will make you feel heard and then be your best advocate. Highly recommend!

I couldn't be more grateful for the experience and outcome I had with Amy and her staff. She showed great professionalism, knowledge of the laws, and great court room demeanor. She was absolutely brilliant when my case went to trial. She asked all the right questions and phrased them perfectly to get the responses we needed without having to be vicious or callous. She definitely helped me to get the outcome that I was hoping for in the ruling. Especially since the other side was difficult to deal with the entire process. What i can't express greatly enough is how Amy kept me calm throughout the entire ordeal. Amy and her colleague Sue were always there for me answering all of my questions and making sure I went into every court date with all the information I needed. Sometimes I would call just so they would make me feel more comfortable about my situation and I could tell they genuinely cared. Amy's entire staff is great, they are very professional but at the same time very personable and down to earth. I never had a bad experience talking to any of them. I would definitely recommend Amy as an attorney, and have to a few people that were looking for one. Amy made a bad situation into something that had a silver lining in the end.

We had the privilege to consult with Amy Melton on a file review of our case. She instantly came through as being very knowledgeable with solid logistical understanding of Will County personnel. She had a clear understanding of courtroom functioning and procedures. During our consultation, Amy was empathetic, informative, and professional when explaining legal procedures and potential outcomes. While our case was complex and unique, Amy displayed great flexibility on the best strategy. She incorporated our input and offered up an approach that would be effective and economical for our situation.

Amy is great. I had a child custody/relocation case that i had lost in 2017. I called around consulting with different attorneys and no one wanted to take my case. They said i had no chance of having it reopen. When i contacted Amy she was unsure as the others were but still decided to take a chance. Well it worked out in the end for me. Amy fought my case for 2yrs and we won. The long journey was worth it and i'm happy she didn't give up on me. I can honestly say Amy fought for me and my daughter and i won in the end. She really cares about her clients. She will work with you and i had fallen on hard times. Amy and her assistant Sue are great. Believe me my case wasn't easy and i know it made her have a few headaches lol. For my first time hiring a lawyer i had a great experience. I give Amy Melton law 5 thumbs up. If your looking for a great family lawyer she's it. And the pricing was reasonable as well. I will use her again for future cases. I'm big on reviews and surveys and i highly recommend her.

I hired Amy to pick up the pieces of my divorce and to represent me for my college age daughter‘s college expenses Illinois support laws can be very difficult to understand if you’re not an expert we soon found out after going to court a few times that we hired the right person Amy was always prepared very well-versed and knowledgeable of the laws that would pertain to my case I always thought Amy was very well measured and out in front of any situation that may arise she is very sharp my wife and I got to know Amy a little bit over the five years we required her services And got to know a working mother that was able to keep many plates spinning at the same time and make it look easy I found out at the end of our case that the judge And Family Court would be retiring and I thought Amy would be perfect for that job because she’s compassionate and understanding of both sides of Family Court situations that can be very difficult if you’re looking for this kind of lawyer do yourself a favor whatever her retainer fee Pay it sign on the bottom line and higher one in Will County is best attorneys

After discussion with multiple lawyers regarding my traffic violation, quite a few either thought my case was not worth fighting or wanted a larger sum of money to defend me. Fortunately I discovered Amy Melton who was determined to fight my case for a reasonable amount of money. She successfully oversaw my case and achieved a reduced sentence of court supervision. Make no mistake. Amy is not a miracle worker, but from my personal experience she will do everything she ethicaly can to fight for you.

Mrs. Melton and her team always made me feel at ease with their kindness and how patient they were. Amy is very personable which made it so much easier for me to speak with her without feeling like, I was going to be judged, but yet she always had a professional demeanor about her too. My case was a long and drawn-out case due to my daughter's father being difficult to deal with! However, She always kept her composure and kept me up to date with all I needed to know with my child custody case. She was clear and honest with me at all times about the cost or things that I needed to know. I was very happy with the outcome of my case and I would definitely recommend her!

I turned to Mrs. Melton's Law office during a tumultuous time in my life. I was a Pro Se litigant for over 2 years & I was only getting more and more frustrated with myself and the slow process of erosion I was making to my ex-wives vicious narrative. Mrs. Melton and her colleague Megan Einsele were immensely prepared to fight for me, taking away the stress and pain of preparation and fear of standing alone in front of the proverbial man to determine my fate. I walked away with great value and a team of highly intelligent professionals with incredible options and solutions I hadn't even fathomed. Ms. Einsele is the top of the pyramid and only shadowed my Mrs. Melton's decades of expertise and grace in the court room. I'm no longer alone, I can be 100% sure the costs justify the service provided and I have a team of outstanding individuals that see the big picture to help me stay focused on the right path for my family. If you're like myself & battling a highly contentious case, please, do not look any further than this review, call Mrs. Meltons office and take a deep breath. Its gonna be ok, you have the best of the best in your corner now.

I hired Amy years ago for my divorce. A Melton Law has been very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Amy's trial skills during a custody trial are outstanding. I can certainly rest well knowing I have Amy, Jeannine, Wendy, Robyn, and Megan in my corner. Megan has been a great addition to an already spectacular team!

At my consultation MsMelton was able to answer all my questions and give sound advice

Amy Melton has assisted me with a couple of cases over the last couple years. She is competent and very confident. Anytime I had questions or something was unclear to me, she thoroughly explained everything to me and ensured that I had a better understanding at that all my questions/concerns were covered and that I was comfortable going forward. The types of cases that Amy takes are always very emotional for all parties and she helped in making everything as unstressful as possible. I found Amy to be extremely personable. I have hired other attorneys in the past and sometimes felt as if I was simply a case number. With Amy, I felt that my case was important to her; I was important to her and she genuinely cared. If she was unavailable when I called the office, she always returned my calls in a timely fashion. She was also very patient with me (I can be long-winded and emotional) and I never felt as if she were too busy to speak with me or that I was being rushed off the phone. She was always very thorough in explaining to me what was going on with my case, what to expect in the courtroom, and what options I had going forward. She kept me informed while also allowing me to make decisions. Amy Melton is not only an excellent attorney, but she ensures that each client feels like he or she is her only client. I highly recommend her for any of your family law needs.
