Passionate and dedicated in defending clients, willing to go the extra mile

“If it wasn't Mr. Melnick, I would not have had a fair trial. If you need an attorney to dig his feet in and fight for you, Ben Melnick is the attorney on your side.”

Compassionate and supportive, helping clients maintain a positive focus during difficult times

“He treated me with dignity and helped me maintain positive focus when I was feeling overwhelmed and depressed, and very embarrassed.”

Cons

Potential reluctance to continue pursuing a case after a setback, such as a mistrial

“After the mistrial he basically tried scare tactics to have me take the plea deal, saying they can press other charges against me if I didn't take the deal and if tried to go to trial again.”

Concerns about prioritizing the reputation of law enforcement over the client's interests in certain cases

“He also seemed like he was more concerned in protecting the officers reputation than mine because the office had been on the force for 20 years.”
