Ms Wilson was wonderful at the start. I was looking to get custody of my son. I was able to get custody of my son but after that everything just drug out. My ex continued to take me to court to fight me and he had no attorney so I had to continue to go to court. Now he has obtained an attorney and I spoke with the firm and told them he had an attorney what do we do now and I was told if I want ms wilson to continue to represent me I would have to pay another retainer. Im just confused because the case is still open it was never closed so I dont understand why I would have to pay another retainer. Now here I am broke and have to go to court alone and possibly loose my son because of this. I just wish everything would have been take care of before he had the opportunity to hire an attorney.

I really appreciated Melissa and her staff - so caring, polite and aggressive. Every time I had a question or a concern , the response was amazing. I was extremely pleased with my outcome, the price was extremely fair as well. I highly recommend this firm - Melissa and her staff are too notch.

This woman is awesome! I saw her in action in court and wanted to fire my Lawyer and hire her. I tell you what she starts talking in a court room everyone is quiet. She gets her point across and wins. This girl has a serious back bone. You go girl!!

As aggressive as they come! I have utilized Melissa's attorney services on 3 seperate occassion and each time my problems were handled lightning fast, and with the upmost professionalism! She is definitely one of the best and although I don't hope to have to use an attorney again in the future, I am happy to know I will always have Melissa on my side! WORTH EVERY PENNY.

She's awful. She's a crook. Apparently she do the same thing to all her clients.

If I could rate Melissa Wilson and her firm without a star I would, but google won't allow it if I want the world to know what type of person she is. The list of where she dropped the ball is extensive. Let's start with her not showing up to court and charging me for services she did not rinder. I obtained her in 2013 and since then the only things that have happened were court hearings that she sometimes made it to, mediation (that she was late to), NO returned calls, no returned emails and a $4,000 invoivce due immediately. I never made it to trial. She didn't send me monthly invoice. She even dropped me with out even talking to me or notifying me.

I hired Ms. Wilson in September of 2012 after letting another lawyer go. She promised aggressive action in a family law case. I told her I already had gotten several things done and gave her the case file to review. She did not review my case at all I know this because when I brought to her attention that we had already filed for contempt and showed her the paper she told me she didn't know about it and would look into it . She had me go to several status conferences. which took up all but 900 of the 2500 retainer I gave her . She scheduled me for a mediation which we had already done as well as the several status conferences we had already done. She sent me an invoice for my remaining balance of the retainer and was off by a thousand dollars ! She admitted her mistake and corrected that . She admitted that she could not keep office staff. I already knew this due to the fact there was somebody new almost every time I called her. She has not returned emails or phone calls and the last email I received was from a paralegal stating Ms Wilson was too busy to talk with me and that paralegal has not returned emails. I have all this on file I can back up every statement I have made and I have never been rude to Ms Wilson or her staff so I am at a loss . A very big loss because now my daughter was taken by her mother and I have no help. In my opinion this lawyer has too many clients and office problems to be effective in representing me
