I retained Melanie to represent me through my divorce, which involved a somewhat complex Property Settlement Agreement. Melanie was extremely accommodating and considerate of my concerns, and continuously worked to ensure that all of the property was correctly settled. Melanie was also very thorough in providing communication to all parties involved, and keeping me in the loop throughout. I would have no reservation recommending Melanie to anyone going through a similar situation, and would turn to her for any further legal representation needs.

Melanie is fantastic! I have a lot of social anxiety and was very scared to take the necessary first steps. However from our first meeting, she explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Getting a divorce can be intimidating, but it was less so with her by my side to help get through it. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate attorney don't be afraid to take that first step with Melanie.

I contacted Melanie Haynes recently to handle my divorce. She was very thorough in answering all my questions and explained the entire process. She was easy to communicate with and accessible when needed. I am very impressed with her expertise and handling. Recommend her highly!

I hired Melanie Haynes with days prior to court hearing. She took the time to ensure I got to know her prior to hiring then she was on top of my case immediately. From the beginning she was confident and supporting taking pressure off of me. She kept me informed the whole process, so I never had to doubt what was happening or when. She was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. From the beginning to end, I had no doubts I was in extremely capable hands. She will be my go-to if ever I need an attorney again.

Melanie was an absolute blessing. I had a very stressful and contentious case. She took a chance on me and I am forever grateful. She helped guide me through the entire divorce process and gave realistic expectations given my circumstances. From initial filing to the decree being signed, my situation changed 180 and in a good way. She is responsive and thorough which is what you need in this type of situation. I highly recommend Melanie.

This is my second time working with Melanie. She will listen emphathetically and guide you intelligently to get you the results!! Melanie is honest and will be on your side, throughout the challenges of your case. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help in Divorce, Family and Custody cases. Thank you!!

Melanie stayed on top of everything from the beginning to the end of the divorce. She is a wealth of knowledge and able to walk you through the process and give you advice and help you think through your options. She is on your side and there to answer your questions. She brought up things for me to consider that I never would have thought of. She is able to explain the legal verbiage to someone that is pretty clueless on these matters.

Melanie was very helpful with my divorce. She fought for what I asked for. The whole process was long and full of emotions for me. I was glad to have her at my back for this event in my life.

I came to Melanie with a mess of a case pending a post divorce parenting modification. It seemed futile and on its way to a terrible trial. Melanie was able to steer me through some poor representation, and gave great guidance. She was tough, but fair. She was very direct in her approach, never missing a detail. She worked hard for myself and my case prior to any involvement. She takes the time to look at cases, assess them and she immediately goes to work- even before she is retained she is setting you up for success. This is the best legal representation I have had. I highly recommend her. She is 100 percent child focused.

I have worked on and off with Melanie for years now. She helped me navigate my way through a divorce in 2012 with professionalism. She is very knowledgeable about family and custody laws. She always kept me informed and made me aware of everything I needed to know to get to the process successfully. She did all this in a timely manner. Recently, she helped me gain the rights to my children. I would recommend Melanie to anyone who is going through a divorce or has a custody matter. She has helped me through both and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to stand up for me. I will absolutely use her again if needed. She’s knowledgeable, professional and also makes sure she is aware of exactly what you need and want and will do all she can to make it happen for you. Best lawyer, hands down! Very pleased.

Really great attorney, I really appreciated how Melanie helped me through my child custody case. Having a few different lawyers and, going through multiple cases. Im glad I was referenced to Melanie from a very good friend. I knew from the start our feel out meeting that she was the right attorney for me. She definitely made me feel comfortable through my whole case, their was never a point in my case where I wasn't in the know with what was going in my case, I never felt out of the loop, I never felt like she was playing both sides. She was very organized, comprising with her answers and knowledgeable whenever I felt the need to ask questions. She was also very guided and open to talking about things which personally I felt a level comfort. Some attorneys are one out to just get your money, some really don't care about the task at hand or get the big picture overall looking further down the road. Truthfully speaking Melanie did a great job in my case really helping me understand the big picture for further down the line and, really breaking it down in our personal conversations. I really appreciated the fact that she was very responsive with sending back and forth emails, and if I needed to call or schedule a call with her she would always do her best to set a time to make it work. Overall really fantastic lawyer for me personally, I would definitely recommend Melanie to anyone going through a child custody case especially being a single father. She takes her job very seriously and looks out for your personal best interest, and once again does very great job of helping you see long term plans that could help you down the road also. Hiring a quality attorney is definitely worth it especially when they help you see it from both sides of things. Once again the level of communication was also expressed with caring feelings of making the right decisions for me, and my kids. I cant say enough good things about the way I was represented. Thank you for everything!

Requested an order for my son to get his passport since his Father notified stated department requesting he not receive one. Have used Melanie on all my family issues and she has efficiently took care of everything for me, would hire again.
