I mean, who gives a positive review to a divorce lawyer? Answer: me.
My spouse and I agreed, after a tough, stressful go of it, to go separate ways. I engaged a series of lawyers. Each one, in turn, gave me heartburn and did things to make my situation worse and escalate tension, and only serve to make my pockets lighter and my heart heavier. It was like they cared more about escalating an unnecessary war between my ex and I than actually giving me good advice and helping me get closure.
Enter Melanie. Efficient, authentic, clear, smart and prophetic - she helped me understand my position, clarify the potential pitfalls and rights, advise me on direction and pull together a clear, reasonable and mutually agreeable contract quickly and efficiently. To this day, my ex and I have not had a single contractual issue - in fact, we border on friends. We have clear and understandable boundaries (thanks to Melanie), and a clear understanding of our rights and obligations.
I've repeatedly broken the classic rule of: "never recommend a lawyer to your friend" a few times now. When a friend mentions that their experience with their current divorce lawyer is terrible - and I introduce Melanie as the better, more reasonable option.
