Kara C. August 28, 2020
Better than I hoped for! I can’t thank your team enough for your help. Everyone at your office is friendly & professional. Erin & Melissa were thorough, knowledgeable & set realistic expectations. They were not afraid to fight for me, but we were able to settle out of court with a better result than I expected thanks to their negotiation skills. I will certainly use Melissa Graham-Hurd & Associates if I need an attorney in the future.
