My experience with Jack has been one of the best I've had with an attorney. Often the reputation of…read moreattorneys is negative and lacking in transparency. Jack has always been clear about his abilities and expectations with me and the outcome of our time together has been nothing short of beating my expectations. I contacted him not knowing what to expect for my situation but now I am so happy that I followed the recommendation that led me to his office. His insight is invaluable and consideration unparalleled. Thank you, Jack, for all that you've done and continue to do for us.

He called me bright and early Monday morning, taking plenty of time to explain my options (and didn't bill me for the first consultation!) He then worked with to reach a resolution with the company I had signed an advertising contract with that had not delivered on their promises. His pricing was very reasonable, considering he saved me many thousands of dollars with the contract he was able to end early. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Jack!

I used Joe to file for a divorce and he did not review my marriage agreement (which I sent to him upon retaining him) until the opposing counsel brought it to his attention months later. There was a date error on this certificate which VASTLY changed my liabilities - from nearly 0 to my house, business, etc. He provided no legal advice and advised me to go along with whatever the opposing counsel suggested, even though it was not in my best interest . He would not answer a single question I asked him and would charge me $100+ for each one sentence email he would send to me that did not provide any guidance. He was extremely discouraging and did not suggest mediation. He merely suggested I give up and pay out 50%+ even though my situation was very unique and not clear-cut (a signed, informal marriage agreement with a date discrepancy). If I continued with Joe I would have given up an extra ~$500k in my divorce. In the end I paid $4500 for him to draft a boilerplate divorce petition and forward emails from the opposing attorney with no legal advice.

I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the representation I received from…read moreMichael Balcezak at the Melton Law Firm. While I have the utmost respect for John Melton--whom I consider to be an excellent attorney--he turned over my case to Mr. Balcezak, whose handling of it I found to be negligent, unprofessional, and consistently lacking in diligence. From the outset, there were ongoing issues with communication, preparation, and follow-through. A particularly troubling example occurred on April 11, 2025, when I inquired whether the arbitrator's decision had been received. I was then sent a copy dated March 17, 2025--nearly a month earlier--with a note stating, "Attached is the Arbitrator's decision (my apologies, I thought Michael or John had already sent)." This was the first time I had seen the decision, and I only received it because I asked. This delay in communication regarding a critical document is unacceptable. This situation is just one of many. Other serious concerns include: Exhibit Preparation: Many of the exhibits Mr. Balcezak prepared were irrelevant or unused. Important records that should have been included--such as one meant to directly challenge a key testimony--were omitted. Closing Brief Miscommunication: I was told the information was included in a "closing statement." However, I later learned that arbitration only allows for a closing brief, not a spoken statement. I had asked repeatedly to review the closing brief before submission. Despite consistent follow-ups, I was not given the opportunity. Additionally, Mr. Balcezak agreed--without consulting me--to grant the opposing side nearly 60 days for submission. I was not informed of this extension until after the fact. Failure to Provide Critical Documentation: I only received a copy of the closing brief ten days after it was due--and even then, only after persistent follow-up. If I had not continually requested it, I believe I would never have received it at all. Inadequate Witness Examination: Mr. Balcezak handled most of the witness questioning, but repeatedly failed to ask the specific questions we had discussed--questions that were crucial to establishing facts in the case. Overall, I felt that I was not only inadequately represented, but also actively excluded from meaningful participation in my own case. Mr. Balcezak's handling of the matter caused me unnecessary stress, confusion, and, in my view, compromised the integrity of my case. On the night of December 6th, 2024, I provided an internal review as I felt that John wasn't aware of the situation, however, problems only worsen afterwards. I had no intention of posting outside the office. However, when things worsen, I felt I had no choice but to warn potential clients so they would not endure what I had to go through.
