    Words From Clients

    • “

      My situation suffered from a bad case of ruffled feathers with the prosecutor, brought about by a previous lawyer. And I decided to change lawyers just prior to the trial. So I hired Melanie.

      Despite having a very short period to prepare, Melanie stepped in and not only assuaged the prior emotional tensions, but successfully negotiated a settlement, during pre-trial discussions, to maintain my integrity.

      She is a very polite and pleasant person to deal with. And she is very sharp. I would highly recommend her legal services.

      Melanie was such a bright spot during such a difficult and stressful period in my life. I was charged with DUI, .179, and failure to maintain a lane in Jackson County. She guided me with expertise and positivity…my charges were reduced to reckless driving. I’ve dubbed her Legally Brunette. I highly recommend Melanie for your legal needs.”

    • “

      Melanie was a pleasure to work with during my DUI case. She was very knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the stressful (for me, anyway) legal wranglings with the court and the overall process that a person has to go through along the way. She worked with the court lawyer to get my DUI charge reduced to Reckless Driving, which was a HUGE relief to me (and my insurance rates). I would highly recommend her services if you ever get yourself in a similar situation. She’s great and definitely someone you want…
