Just wrapped up a personal injury case with this attorney. In my experience, Melissa is a dedicated advocate to her clients. She is thorough, organized, knowledgable, and honest. She will take the time to explain legal concepts to clients and is forthright even when it isn't good news, or she thinks another approach is warranted. Your case is in very good hands if you choose to retain her.

Melissa Odama Hart is an exceptional attorney who will go to battle and negotiate a fair settlement. I am extremely please in her handling of my personal injury case.

Melissa is by far the most skilled, responsive, and professional attorney that I have ever been represented by (total of five in my life). Melissa was able to quickly examine all the information related to the case, develop an approach that was well thought out and strategic, and that she felt would result in the best possible settlement. From what I could tell, she was always one step ahead of the defense, which gave me peace of mind and a limited amount of work on my end. Ultimately, her attention to detail and preparation, not only helped me during initial negotiations, but when it came to the final settlement, she was able to increase the overall payment appreciably. Melissa was unwearied in her representation of me during my case, and I know that would be the same for anyone else - I fully recommend you retain Melissa to represent you in your case.

Melissa and her team are professional, detailed, respectful, and super responsive (which is hard to come by). Melissa represented me in a complicated and difficult (dealing with AllState) case where I got into 3 car accidents one after another before treatment for the previous one was done. Melissa did a lot of due diligence - researched and requested reports from all my doctors to untangle all the pieces and organized everything. Melissa was very organized and kept me informed on where things were. She's good at tracking things down and making sure deliverables were on time. She also found a way to push the envelope to request maximum amount for my case. I have worked with several lawyers before, but none came close to Melissa's knowledge, professionalism, compassion, attention to detail, and customer service. She even impressed the arbitrator so much during arbitration that he made a couple of comments about how professional and knowledgeable she was, and that I got a great lawyer (couldn't agree more). I am happy with the award she helped me get and happy about avoiding going to a trial. I can't say enough good things about her. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone who needs help with personal injury cases. She is the best!

A family member was charged with a misdemeanor and then another later on. Ms. Hart was able to successfully defend them, and my family member wound up with no criminal record. She was easy to work with and very competent in my opinion.

I found Melissa to be a true legal expert in the area of auto accidents. I have no doubt she got me the best possible outcome and reward for my recent two collisions, which was a tricky case to navigate with overlapping accidents. I would definitely use her again. I highly recommend MELISSA!!!

This review is extremely tardy, but VERY well deserved.
In the spring of 2015, Melissa represented me in a delicate matter, and she was superb. Melissa not only knows her field, but she also TRULY CARES. I felt heard, respected, and important to Melissa, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. In fact, I have an issue currently (not one in her area of expertise), but she was the ONLY attorney I contacted for advice/referrals to someone that could assist me.
Melissa is STELLAR.

Melissa was recommended to me for assistance by my chiropractor and she was wonderful. I had a very successful consultation phone call and she helped me to organize and resolve my challenges.

My son had been in/out of jail for the last few years when he was arrested on felony drug charges and placed in King County jail.
He was about to lose his parental rights and had given up hope.
He got a break when Melissa was assigned his case as a public defender
My son will be released tomorrow and he is going into a sober living house. None of this would have been possible without her.
My son can be difficult but she never gave up on him and fought hard to keep him from getting a felony conviction. A felony would have made it hard to get a job or rent an apartment when the time comes.
It is because of Melissa that my son was given a fresh start.
My son had given her permission to discuss his case with me and she always kept me up to date. Which gave me piece of mind.
I pray that neither my son or I will need an attorney again, but if we do Melissa Hart is who I would hire. She ALWAYS keeps her clients best interest in mind and for that I will be forever grateful.

We went into a mediation on 521 2018 not expecting too much, but Melissa ended up with so much settlement amount because Melissa made sure that I am taking care of! I would recommend her to all she’s a lawyer with a heart! Thank you very much attorney Odama for everything!
