I recommend Melinda for all your family's legal needs. She is experienced and provides personal and professional advice.

Vanessa Sheppard has represented me for years. Her professionalism and intrinsic motivation to help others goes unmatched. She is exceptionally competent in her field of expertise and explains the process as she advocates for you every step of the way. Vanessa has been a blessing to my family, and has helped me overcome barriers I didn’t think were possible. I appreciate you, Vanessa!

Whether you’re mediating a case with Melinda or utilizing their talented attorneys and staff, your case or your client’s case will be in great hands.

Do not hire Marianne holland she is not for women she a terrible lawyer literally promise me a fair trail with my husband and did not delivered paid her 11 grand and got nothing in return please take this as a sign she is not good she robbed me of 11 thousand and she didn’t do nothing just sit there and made me feel bad DO NOT HIRE this law firm please RUN And find someone else

Melinda has mediated several cases for me and it's always a pleasure to have her as our mediator. I look forward to continuing to working with her in the future

Hunter has adequate knowledge of the law, but it's his demeanor and the way he deals with clients that he needs to work on. I was apprehensive to hire a family lawyer that does not have kids as most family law is about the needs of children. My instincts were correct. He lacked the compassion and understanding of the needs of traditional families. I suspect the litigation dragged on at the kids expense in order to generate billable hours.

I hired Hunter Lewis to handle a non contested divorce with my now ex. We were fairly amicable and were 95% in agreement with both of our goals. I retained Hunter and without discussing with me he filed for full custody of our son Mark and daughter Jodi. This was not what I wanted and just made my ex mad. When I asked Mr Lewis why he did this he said it was a negotiation tactic to ask for more than I wanted. In the end a divorce that should have took 4 months to 12 and cost 3x what I think it should’ve.

Hunter came highly recommended by locals and seemed to have a good reputation. He was very difficult to work with and often was condescending and over bearing when we discussed my case or prepped for a hearing. At one point he asked me to call him “Mr. Lewis” rather than Hunter. I was a little taken back considering I am much older than him and I am the client. In court he was adequate but seemed to rely on a lot of theatrics and flamboyance rather than a strong legal acumen. He mention several times throughout our cases that his mom, who is also his employer, is a former judge. The case eventually settled but if I had to do it over again I probably would have went with a different lawyer.

I cannot recommend Melinda more! If you are in a custody situation, you need Melinda on your side! She is friendly and is truly invested in each client.

This firm is a joke!! Might want to reconsider representing you with another firm.

Divorce is stressful. Marianne will only add to your stress with her sheer incompetence. D+E is not a place that values people, they only care about $$$. Please go elsewhere.
