If you want a great attorney then go to this office and ask for Adam . I can't say enough good about him and Pat . I definitely recommend this firm.

In the beginning Melanie was very polite and helpful. Then the further along with my case she would use very vulgar language. At our last meeting she lashed out at me verbally telling me that if i could have a boyfriend or get on a social media site, then I was NOT disabled. She proceeded to talk to me like I was nothing, cussing and being rude. I was in tears and very upset and she knew I had issues with mental illnesses. I got tired of being talked to like that and took up for myself. She mailed me a letter a week later, resigning from my case. I was going to get rid of her anyway. Very unprofessional way to handle things.

In the beginning went well. Later on I met with her and she got mad when she found out I had a boyfriend and starting yelling at me and cussing me in the office saying that I can't be disabled if I have a boyfriend or if I can get in Facebook ... Facebook is how I found HER SO... She accused me of lying about being disabled when I told her about my boyfriend. This made NO sense to me. Very rude and ugly and had me in tears and upset when I already have mental disabilities. If you wanna be cussed at with the f@&$ word then use her ... Plus she then sent a letter to not represent me, which was fine Becuz I was already looking for a new lawyer anyway

Mrs Melanie was straight forward and very honest with me from the start. She worked very hard for me and my family. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ms. Leavitt, was very knowledgeable, realistic, prepared me for what may happen, her office was very efficient, easy to communicate with and very quick to process any information I would give them. Unlike a previous attorney I hired with the title of "disability specialists" who were just the opposite of Ms. Leavitt and her office and they were completely unprepared for the hearing I had and because of this I was originally denied due to their incompetence and lax attitude. With Ms. Leavitt things moved quickly, the only wait was due to SSD processing my medical documents, I would very highly recommend Ms. Leavitt to anyone who would ask me if I knew any good Disabilty attorneys. Ms. Leavitt never mislead me nor gave me any false hopes, she was straight to the point with a no nonsense attitude, very professional and very experienced.

Do NOT hire this attorney. She did nothing for me. I filed for medical disability from my job (State of LA). I was denied by two doctors, a state doctor and a doctor of my choosing. Ms. Leavitt wrote a letter to me later on and said I would have to find another attorney as she did not handle lawsuits. (In other words, I would have had to file a lawsuit in District Court to appeal). By the time she sent this letter to me, my time was exhausted to file the lawsuit. She didn't tell me this either when I met with her two different times. I sure wasted my time on her and my chance at getting my disability.
