A bit disappointing. The settlement I received was ok and all the people were friendly, but it came at a price. I didn't feel as if i were a priority to them - which considering what they earned for so few hours and such little negotiation imo - was surprising. I was in an accident where a car hit me as I was walking on the sidewalk. Open and shut case. Even though the perpetrator had no insurance, I had uninsured motorist so it was simply a matter of collecting from my insurance company. Imo, there was very little or no negotiating. My real complaint is that I wasn't kept informed of anything. I would have to call Melanokos every few weeks to find out what was going on (after several months elapsed first). Then they would take action and typically say, "Oh, we have to file so and so at a different place." They didn't know. This happened 3x. I never even knew the case was settled until I got a letter in the mail from my insurance company. No excuse for that. And then 3 months later I received my settlement.Also, when you sign with a firm, make sure the percentage they take is only from what YOU GET...As an example, if you agree to pay the firm 35% and your settlement is 200k dollars, make sure their 35% commission is from what you RECEIVE, because if you owe say, Medicare, the law firm might have to pay Medicare 25k (or whatever) before the law firm gives you your money. So it's 175k you get, and then they take out their 35%, but they take 35% of 200K and not the 175k lol. Why? I never would've signed up for that if i knew. I'm paying Medicare the money, and then the law firm is taking 35% of my TOTAL settlement (i.e. 200k)? So I'm paying 135% of what i owe Medicare? How ridiculous. I probably ended up with a bit more using Melanokos than if i did it myself, but not worth the aggravation, "extra" payment, and basically no communication from them - unless it was initiated by me. Not for me.

Very pleasant, low keyed person to work with! He was easy to get a hold of through his office and always responded punctually to my calls. Best of all, he got more than double the amount that was first offered me!

My legal case was not a big one, so I decided to work with the insurance company myself to reach a reasonable settlement. At first the insurance representative could not have been nicer and more interested in my wellbeing as we discussed all my pain, medical visits, etc. That was until we began talking about a settlement. At that point, she had a total personality change. We could not reach an equitable settlement because she was adamant about the unacceptable amount her company would pay. That’s when I contacted Michael Melonakos. He took over the case and reached a settlement for more than double the amount offered by the insurance. Plus, I no longer had to deal with a cantankerous insurance representative. Should you need an attorney, call Michael. I’m sure he will do a wonderful job for you as he did for me.

I'm a person that apon hiring Mr Melonakos was very skeptical of lawyers and the processes, especially my case. Mr Melonakos from start to finish was very upfront on what I could expect and never wavered from his plan to win my case! He is one of the most organized and methodical attorneys I've ever met. When I was ready to give up he lifted me and helped me through some of the darkest days of my life. I could write pages about this man and how he genuinely cared about me as a person and my case. Thank you for your dedication and hard work! I'd refer you again and again!

He was a great lawyer. Very skilled. Very understanding and a good guy!!!! Handled everything with my case from start to finish. Helped me get the proper doctor care. I would highly recommend him!!

Michael Melonakos was beyond amazing. Heartfelt concern for what I was experiencing in the aftermath of my accident . Always engaged and responsive. Set me up with one of the best Orthopedic Physicians in Atlanta. A success story for all. Forever grateful for his services.

Mike navigated my case in a way that left me nothing short of satisfied! He knows his profession very well! Every profession needs individuals like Mike! He knew how to deal with very difficult, deceptive and dismissive Insurance adjusters, and mike got me what i deserved. I admire, commend and recommend his worth ethic.

Thankful to Attorney Mike and the staff at The Roth Firm! These guys are incredible. I was completely lost and signing with Attorney Mike was the best decision I could have made. They helped me from the first day I signed with them, from helping me get the proper treatment to getting a great result for me on my case. Every obstacle question or concern I had they were there to answer me promptly. The team is professional and went to all lengths to get me all the proper care and support needed. I would shout from a mountain that The Roth Firm is Awesome!!!!! I love Attorney Mike and his incredible team!!!!!!!!!! I would recommend Attorney Mike and his staff to everyone!!!!

My family and I are extremely satisfied with the outcome of our case. Four of my family members(children and father), including myself, were hit from the back from an inexperienced driver. Although we were physically hurt and emotionally drained, Mike assured us that we were in the most capable hands. I would undoubtedly agree that Mike Melonakos handled our case efficiently, professionally, and tirelessly to maximise the outcome of our case. He and Donna, his case manager, made us feel like family. He always called you back and answered any all questions concerning your accident. Mike never ended a call without knowing that you understood the process. His patience, understanding, and calm spirit proved that he is a human first and lawyer second. In my opinion, you need a lawyer that is working and not calling you daily. We received everything we asked for from the insurance company at fault. If you want stellar results on your case, contact Mike Melonakos at the Roth Firm. If you want mediocre results, call another lawyer. Thank you Mike and Donna for everything you have done. I couldn't have asked for a more qualified lawyer.

I received the max payout on my case. He kept me informed every step of the way. Great work on my behalf.

I hired Michael for a tractor trailer accident I was in two years ago. Micheal was the best attorney I could have asked for in my case. He was thorough and advised me to wait until I had received all the treatment I needed and not to rush. He answered all of my emails timely and spent needed one on one time with me discussing and planning for my case. He even helped to relieve my anxiety about the case. He also was able to settle my case satisfactorily without years of litigation. Very pleased with this firm and I highly recommend Michael.

I was in a real bad accident and Mike made sure I was taken care of. It's not an over night process but he made it simple and held my hand the whole way. Of course we won, Mike is like a lion ripping its prey to pieces. He fought hard for me. I recommend him to anyone who has ever been seriously injured or just hurt. I was very satisfied with his services and firm. Mike will fight for you so you don't have to.
