Yesterday was the day to vote. And I didn't vote. But right here and right now . My vote goes out to Elisha Comer.
Anyways, I highly recommend Melissa Winkler-York and her staff! I tell everyone who needs an attorney to go see her! I will never have another attorney for as long as I need one!
I am so very appreciative, my husband is ecstatic, and we HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for family law counsel!
Highly recommend.
Pretty unsatisfied with their services. It took them 6 months to draft an extremely bare-bones divorce settlement agreement after having to be doing daily calls for the last few weeks trying to follow up. It was long enough for the situation to change and the very lacking divorce settlement agreement to not be applicable anymore. Now they want to charge me as contested divorce to move forward because of their incompetency to act quickly. Had to deal with 3 different paralegals working on my agreement. Every time they changed paralegals my paperwork seemed to get lost and they’d stop working on it unless I called to follow up and I’d have to get the process started all over again. They were also grossly terrible at returning calls if the paralegal or attorney were unavailable.
I give 3 stars for now and will update post accordingly as my case isn't over yet.Went to Melissa for help getting my child support reduced. She told me on the first day she could probably get my case done for under the 500$ retainer fee and if not it wouldn't be much more. Less than a week before court she needed 100$ to serve my ex. Had to reschedule twice because their person couldn't get my ex served. One week before our 3rd hearing they needed another 1000$ or they were dropping me as a client. Begged and borrowed the money so I wouldn't have to go to court without an attorney. We get there, she talks to my ex and tells me my ex agrees to 20$ less a week and I should agree and take the deal. It would take a year and a half to recoup the 1600$ paid to Melissa. My son will be 19 in a yr and a half and that is the legal age of emancipation in Indiana. So we went before the judge and all seemed good yet the judge said she needed to think the case over and would send out the new child support order. Melissa told me it would be up to 10 days to get the new order. It's been over two weeks since court and I still don't have a new order yet I did just got another bill from Melissa's office saying I owe another 120$ and she's filing to withdraw from the case that's still not settled.
Most expensive attorney I've ever hired.
and knowing he has enough money to hire the BEST to fight for custody, i started searching again. I came across Melissa and her great reviews. I scheduled and met with her. She came in dressed in a printed design tee and jeans. I was taken back but we got to business. It started with communication and updates and further down, turned into long hold times, unreturned phone calls, and uneasiness from lack of communication while im fighting for MY LIFE AND SON. I did mk sure to provide great material to fight with. All this was reaching on a year time past since i hired her... Not 1X did i step foot in a court room or had to appear. Out of the blue I recieved the call that WE WON!! IT WAS OVER!! Im thankful for her services. I wished it was better communication. But regardless she was REASONABLY PRICED... and she got the job done!
Hire her if you are looking. She is a FIGHTER... she got your back and will represent you to the FULLEST!!
PS. It was great to win against my kids father simply because he feels like he had THE BEST OF THE BEST paying a boat load of money. He pd about 3Xs as me and LOST and I hv my son ❤. -Ego stroke
She did not represent me the 2 times I went to court with my ex, she sent zac Instead.
I tried to get a consultation several times before both court dates, to prepare and go over what all we were addressing and was told they would handle it and were prepared.
He was not prepared. The other attorney attacked me without zac objecting and we basically got creamed.
Would not recommend them!!!!
UPDATE: After leaving this review last night I received an email this morning that really put me at ease! Again, I've been impressed with everything this firm has done with me personally and honestly it looks like the responsibility of the delay is simply waiting on the prosecutor to sign my documents. I will continue to update my review until my case comes to a close.
Ps. it had to be a attorney to answer my question (preferably Melissa) not a Receptionist and my voice mail box is never full and I wasn’t wanting free info I was willing to pay.
Thank you so much Melissa I appreciate all that you did for me and my family
I feel that I made a great choice in having him represent me.
