Reviews
We just wrapped up my divorce case and I could not be happier with Melinda and Craig. She's constantly thinking outside the box for the best outcome of her client. Craig was simply awesome at supporting all my needs too. Highly recommend. Would give 10 stars if possible!
Melinda is amazing ! Her and Craig were great to work with ! She made me feel heard and always gave the best advice. Answered any questions and made sure I understood the process of everything happening. Court can be very overwhelming and Melinda helped me feel comfortable. I highly recommend her for any custody or family issue ! I'm very thankful to have Melinda as my attorney, she knows what she's doing !
I recently concluded my work with Melinda on my divorce case and was very satisfied with the outcome. Melinda and Craig did a fantastic job of making sure that all of the filings were done on time and that I had all relevant information for my case in to the court, which helped tremendously with the outcome of my case. I would be remiss to not acknowledge how big of a part Craig played in making sure everything was in to the court on time and that all of my filings were complete. I spent three and a half days in court with Melinda and I was very pleased with how she handled my case and how she handled opposing counsel. Melinda certainly showed her worth in the courtroom in handling objections for me and against opposing counsel, as well as making sure that I was able to state my case even when I was cutoff by the other attorney. The only issue that I had with her office thankfully, was administrative and not related to the actual litigation. I am not a fan of her billing system and I made her aware of that fact, in doing so she did take my suggestion and worked with making a change to her system. I would recommend Melinda to anyone that is going through a divorce, especially one that is going to end up in the courtroom.
Melinda was an amazing attorney. She was always there for me all the way through my divorce. she understood and knew exactly what I wanted for my kids. I am very satisfied with how everything was handled and couldn't have chosen a better attorney to represent me. Craig, her Paralegal, was also a great help throughout the process with how he would answer any questions or concerns I had. I couldn't ask for a better team! I would definitely use her services again if needed. Thank you both so much and I am beyond grateful.
I used Melinda while going through my divorce and she was absolutely amazing. She went well above and beyond what I expected of her to help me through a very difficult time in my life. At every turn she knows what to look for and what to expect. If you are looking for an experienced lawyer who cares for her clients well-being and best interest (without overcharging mind you) then Melinda is the one for you. If I ever have need of a lawyer ever again, knock on wood, then she will be the only person I'll use!
