His staff lost paper work! which resulted in a horrible mediation outcome! He attempted to send legal agreements via email without my authorization. Once confronted, his words were "it was an accident!" His defensive strategy was very feeble! The lies of a sleazy car salesmen were sickeningly present! It now makes sense because I found out he used to be a door to door salesmen. His charisma of assertion, charm, and trustworthiness is strong, but deceptive! He got me 27% custody, tried to side with the other lawyer regarding division of assets and debts. He also offered half equity of my truck to my ex wife! Bottom line is, you better have a great deal of patience when dealing with a empty man of this kind! BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!

I went online I did research reviews and searched for services within my local area. I truly appreciate paralegal staff Lisa and the team and communicating with the clients the same day which rarely happens. Lisa went over with me at the appointment everything step by step made everything clear and precise I understood what I had to do if a documents had to be submitted by the doctor by myself it's a lot to process mentally and physically. Overall it's done Court is completed paperwork is completed overall I had a outstanding customer service experience at family paralegal services. I highly recommend you check them out when the time is needed.

I don't know how someone can handle any sort of legal matter without a lawyer. There are just too…read moremany documents that need to be filed, dates that need to be met and procedures that are difficult to understand. It's very easy to slip up and inadvertently limit some of your options. Deadlines can stack up very quickly and the whole process can be very confusing and stressful. I'm educated and have a career with over ten years experience but I know very little about the legal system so I contact Melo-Sarsfield to help explain my options in a recent legal matter. They drove the process, handled all the paperwork, contacted the other parties involved, checked in with me from time to time and were present every time I needed to meet with a third party. Watching them work made me realize how ill equipped I was to handle the matter on my own. Marguerite and John always kept a positive attitude. They were patient, explained things in a way I could understand and would go over something as many times as it took for me to understand. They always had a lot of real world experience that they could draw from when they were explaining the situation. They made me feel comfortable asking questions and made it very easy for me to speak frankly with them. They made it a point to explain what their strategy was and what sort of outcome we could expect. They always made time for me and made me feel like my case was the most important one they were handling even though know that couldn't have been the case. It's obvious that they have a lot of expertise. When I saw them in court the judge's reaction to them made it clear that they were on top of their game. Melo-Sarsfield will be the first law office I call if I ever need any legal help. They're good people and always did more than I expected and, most importantly, I trust them.

Divorce is emotional, stressful, and often much longer than people expect. Throughout this process, they have gone above and beyond for me, answered my questions, guided me through difficult situations, and continued fighting for my best interests. If you want an attorney who is responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to fight for you, you have to be prepared for the costs that come with quality representation. A complex divorce is a marathon, not a sprint. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Mr. Hatherly and Jessica to anyone going through a divorce.
