5 /5 Ronin Katana: HIRE MELISSA! Period. Im sorry if youre in a position to require her services. But without a doubt, hire her!
My case: DUI. With complications. High BAC. Collision involved. Open and shut case against me.
There were several law firms I could have hired. Nothing bad at all to say about the other firms I spoke with. Melissa stood out head and shoulders above the other firms I spoke with based on her overall experience, but especially her prosecutorial experience. Her knowledge and skill, plus her ability to communicate, stood out when we spoke.
Outstanding service and professionalism! As events unfolded, Melissa ALWAYS kept me promptly informed of what to expect, next steps, and timing for me to complete actions. She is always super-prepared, and if you follow her advice things will go super-smoothly.
Melissa also is fantastic to work with! Totally accommodating of my work schedule and when it was best for me to take calls. She explained everything and put me at ease right up front. In my situation, I have vocational factors with regulatory impacts outside of my DUI case. Melissa was extra-patient with me discussing these outside considerations while we worked my case. Fortunately she also has a great sense of humor!
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Melissa delivers RESULTS. She took care of everything so I didnt have to worry. She negotiated positively and constructively with the prosecutor to reduce my charge to reckless driving with the absolute minimum sentence.
This was not an easy case. It wouldve been a slam/dunk against me but Melissa achieved an infinitely better outcome than I couldve imagined. THANK YOU MELISSA!
Dont drink and drive. Everybody says that.
Though trust me, you will not want to be staring down those consequences.
...But if you ever need somebody in your corner, DEFINITELY HIRE MELISSA!
