What Lawyers Are Saying

Melinda McElheny June 11, 2024

Rating: 10

This attorney has very high emotional intelligence and wisdom. Her courtroom skills are strong and I often find myself trying to emulate her in court. She is great at negotiation and collaborating with other attorneys, but she will take the gloves off in court to advocate for her client. She is fair and honest with clients, unafraid to tell them things they may not want to hear but need to hear. She can be very compassionate and warm, or aggressive and ballsy, when the situation calls for it. View More
