Rating: 10 Lawyer Rating - 10 out of 10
I endorse this lawyer. Melissa and I went to law school together, and worked together as law clerks at a firm during school, and then I worked for her at her firm when she had one. With each new area, Melissa has dived right in and learned what she needed to know. Melissa is a fabulous and tenacious legal researcher, and very intuitive in thinking about different ways of approaching a matter. She is also highly inquisitive generally. She has a high success rate in settlements and in court. View More
