Rating: 10 Lawyer Rating - 10 out of 10
Melissa is one of a select few attorneys in the State of NJ who has devoted her entire career to criminal defense. She has tried dozens of trials before a jury. She is one of less than 30 women in the State certified by the NJ Supreme Court as a Criminal Trial Attorney. I know of no other trial attorney of this caliber who can also effectively handle her client’s appellate issues. She is professional and courteous to her adversaries, and selflessly encourages and assists her colleagues. View More
