Kayla Jane M. May 9, 2024

Knowledgeable, professional, and personable! I was referred to Melvin by a truly great friend. Within hours of hearing only a paragraph about our situation, Melvin called me, already having done his research on our property, and offering to take my case. There is no question Melvin knows the law inside and out. He left me confident through the entire process; and truly relieved of the battle I was fighting from the second he first called. Melvin works quickly, is very transparent about he expects from us, and what we should expect, and makes it feel as if you are the most important client in the world given his attention to detail, and quick responses. He's very personable, and easy to talk to, without feeling any of the intimidation or interrogation a lawsuit situation may bring (especially since I just finished watching Suits, and wasn't jumping up and and down about escalating my case to the law). It is in your absolute best interest to contact Melvin.

Wonderful man who works HARD for his clients! Mr. Sims did a wonderful job with my case. He was professional, yet compassionate and made sure he answered all of my questions. I’m very pleased with his services and have already recommended him to others. Nothing but praise for this man!! You won’t be let down or feel like you are “in it alone.”
