Melissa and her team have supported us for 8+ years. She has been there for us through multiple litigations , false accusations from the Ex , mediation and custody issues. Her calm, matter-of-fact persona and extensive experiential knowledge of family law has no doubt enabled our family to stay together and have victories along the way. No one likes or wants to go to court to fight for your custodial rights, but if you do, you want Melissa on your side. Thank you!

Words can not even begin to express the amount of gratitude I have for Melissa and Chelsea! Melissa is hands down the best attorney out there. All my questions and concerns were dealt with in a timely manner. Melissa and Chelsea genuinely care about their clients and always made sure to listen to what was going on in my case. It was worth every penny and I would do it all over again. I would recommend to anyone looking for a badass attorney to hire Melissa. All I can say is thank you Melissa and Chelsea. You have exceeded my expectations

She handled my divorce wonderfully. Very professional, and made my ex husbands lawyer look like a joke, which was awesome to watch. Can be a little slow to respond to emails, but it's not too bad, and she does respond which is nice. I'm very pleased with the outcome and her work on it.

I used her for my custody issues I had with my sons mother, she fought for me, also the best interest of the kids and pretty much got me what I wanted. I loved watching her in court she doesn’t play. Her and her staff was always helpful and very professional. I recommend her to everyone who needs a family attorney to get Melissa! I tell everyone about her. Melissa and Chelsea are the best, thanks to the both of you! I feel so relieved now that this is over and I’m actually hanging out with the kids and their mom as I write this review. So thank you again Melissa!

Living out of state and knowing nothing about the indiana legal system, but hearing about Elisha's Comers background and experience, I knew after the initial consultation she was the lawyer I needed, to get the results I wanted. She very attentive to all my questions, easy to talk to, and gets me the answers without leaving you waiting for a response. Shes extremely assertive , and creative about switching up the game plan when you have to try a different approach. She has great perseverance in the face of obstacles.. She will fight tooth and nail for her client and plays hard ball with the other attorneys while making sure the ball is always in your court to get you what you want . Shes definitely a problem solver and I highly urge anyone with legal issues to stop wasting time with sketchy lawyers and just contact "Elisha Comer" . As I can personally assure you , you will NOT be disappointed..

Yesterday was the day to vote. And I didn't vote. But right here and right now . My vote goes out to Elisha Comer.

In the state of Indiana your allowed 2 modification hearing's... This firm reduced my sentence 68months with Mrs. Winkler- York, representing me, then turned around my second Modification, she sent "Brooke", that I didn't know if she was as good as Mrs. Winkler-York. Well let me tell you, I WAS WELL IMPRESSED WITH BROOKE ALSO., she was very assertive with the prosecutor and fought my case as the best in the state of Indiana, and she got the last word in,,,as well ..with a new Judge and Prosecutor making a name for themselves...I was able to get off calling Drug line everyday for the next 3 years and my probation was made informal, I can leave the state by going in and filing out a paper to let Judge know. And I dont have to report no more. For this law firm to get 2 modifications on the same case is unheard of...Thank you so much Melissa Winkler-York and Brooke. Also I want this firm to know that you should be proud to have Brooke on your team, in this Lawfirm. I was and still impressed by her....God Bless you all and thanks for the time and dedication to give me a 2nd chance of living a sober life. 9 years clean now.and I'm a family man, loving life again. , Sincerely, Greg Hauk

I can't say enough about Elisha!!! As a man being divorced by his wife in the state of Indiana you are told that you are going to get NOTHING. Elisha got me the house, protected my 4O1k and more. She was extremely attentive to my questions, cares about her clients and will fight for you. Do not hesitate to hire her!

I first had a consultation with Melissa because I wanted primary physical custody of my Daughter due to more reasons than I have time to write. I don’t want to get into the specifics but my situation was very difficult for me and at the time I couldn’t be the Father I wanted to be and couldn’t even try to be. Being a Father in the State of Indiana, I felt like I didn’t have a chance. That was before I met Melissa Winkler-York. Not only did she take my case that really wasnt in her geographical area, she kicked major behind and I now have primary physical custody of my Daughter! She got me everything I wanted and more! She knew exactly what to do at our court date and I have to say that I was very impressed! I wish I could give some examples of how she dominated but I will keep them between us. As normal court cases go, things were kind of slow in the beginning due to the courts losing my original filing, a few continuations and things like that but it’s just how it goes. If everything goes right for you at the beginning and during the process, then nothing will go right in the end so I consider the few bumps along the way a blessing. People need to understand that you have to communicate with your attorney. You have to work together. You have to tell them the problems you’re having or the things you need or they’ll never know. You have to keep in constant contact. If you really want the results you seek, you have to stay at it. You need to do some work as well. Some reviews on here are obviously from people who think that their attorney is supposed to do absolutely everything for them. Yea, you pay them but it’s not going to work that way. You have to work with your attorney as a team. Going months without contacting them, not doing some work of your own, not getting the results you want due to your lack of motivation, then giving a bad review isn’t very smart.

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!

My husband and I found the Law Office of Melissa Winkler-York online. What a blessing. We've been going through a custody nightmare for over 10 years. Melissa is very efficient, strategic, and steadfast. Chelsea was so knowledgeable, always answering our calls. Melissa told us at the first appointment, going through Chelsea, for questions and paperwork will help keep the cost down. We found that to be true, also Melissa's hourly rate is very reasonable. With Melissa we have settled out of court, and within 6 months the entire case has been wrapped up, for a fraction of what we had already spent. Long story short, Melissa and Chelsea made a difficult case, quick and affordable.
I am so very appreciative, my husband is ecstatic, and we HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for family law counsel!

THis law firm is turning out to be the worst decision we have made. We hired them for a simple visitation and support case a year ago and we still have yet to see a judge or be granted basic state mandated visitation. I am not sure if this is due to the father taking the mother to court to enforce his rights and the law firm has an issue representing him but literally it has been a year. The law office also never responds to emails or calls regarding to this case. At this time we will be lodging a complaint as i am sure if someone pays an attorney i am going to go out on a limb and say they are required to return your calls and respond to your emails.

Melissa has been an amazing attorney throughout the entire process! As a father fighting for his son she fought a great fight and won me custody. She’s very professional and always on time. Mellisa has always responded in a timely manner and if it was ever something important I could always depend on the office staff or Chelsea to help out too. I would go through all the stress and do this again with her any day! She’s been a true blessing A+

Edit since I cannot reply: if my final documents were sent “months ago” then why did I receive the final documents until November 18th when this started back in June? I asked for a simple change on the custody days from mon/Tuesday and Wednesday/thur since August and a change in child support agreement it was finalized until these final papers in November. They weren’t even working on this until I called to follow up due to the paralegal change. Not to mention multiple typos in the agreement calling my ex partner a “he”. Terrible job and to lie on top of that, what a poor choice of picking you guys and waste of money.

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.

Melissa and her staff were very efficient and professional. Upon contacting her office, we were scheduled for an initial consultation within a 24 hour period. She walked us through the process and answered our questions along the way. We felt confident we could rely on her experience and we did. I would highly recommend her services.

Melissa represented me in a quite nasty divorce. And though I worried from time to time that my case wasn't getting enough attention or my emails were addressed a day later, I fretted unnecessarily because Melissa had my back the entire time. She was calm, cool and collected in the court room, but commanded that space and OWNED it. If you are looking for someone to represent you in a divorce, this is the lady to do to, hands down! I couldn't recommend her more! Editing to add: My ex started playing games the second he learned the outcome for the divorce and tried evicting myself and the kids. I spoke to Zach who not only spoke with me but coached me through representing myself and the kids. I won but that didn't stop my ex from trying again in Superior Court. Zach stepped in and represented me. He was professional but extremely confident inside and outside the court room and had my ex tongue tied and stammering. Zach had a way of keeping me calm as well and he won the case in the blink of an eye. Again, I cannot recommend the people at this law firm enough!

Melissa helped me with my custody case. I talked to other attorneys who said I didn't have a chance to get my kids back. Although Melissa told me it would not be easy, she said that I at least had a chance so I decided to hire her to try. We had a hearing that lasted 2 full days and Melissa was awesome. At the end, I won and got my kids back. Had I listened to the other attorneys I never would have even tried.

Putting my reply above the original post because we are unable to go back and forth here. I said up front that my ex was very difficult and mischievous. Melissa told me that with my income being so low she would keep my charges as low as possible and would not push forward if not financially in my favor to do so. Telling me to take a 20$ deal was definitely not in my best interest after forking out 1600$. Also I was told in Melissa's office that my ex's income was way above her actual income and wasn't told any different until court. That was very misleading. Communication and caring for the client did not meet expectations in this case. I have a compliance hearing this month. Will I have a new order before then? Is the case over before the judge makes a ruling? How much is an answer going to cost? Over half my bill seems to be communication charges like 30$ for a phone call. I have never had an attorney demand a second retainer the week before court. Every attorney I've ever hired has accepted payments . I am in worse debt now than before hiring Melissa.

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.

I was fighting for custody of my son. Its a pretty deep case. When I got the deposition packet from his (my kids father) I felt like i was fighting for my LIFE! Pretty shook, i refused to fill it out i started looking for a GOOD lawyer. I started with some guy that i wasnt confident with... he sounded good but after letting started
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

I would 100% recommend Winkler-York Law Firm! When enough was enough i went online to search for aggressive attorneys that will actually go in fighting and not be intimidated by loud mouth steam blowers and Winkler Law office popped up! We live in Virginia and my husbands ex wife is in Inidana so i took a chance and called the law office and i am happy to say that we went with Winkler-York Law office and Our attorney is Brooke Bernhardt and she has been Fantastic! She is not intimidated at all, shes aggressive and she will fight for you, she always calls, replies to my emails and keeps you in the loop! She has not one time treated us like another client she has treated us like a friend and she has got my husbands visitation started back!! If you looking for an attorney take my word for it and go with WINKLER YORK!! And if you get BERNHARDT you got a GEM :)

Elisha is the best. She really helped me do things that I thought were impossible for fathers. I never thought I could win at ANYTHING in court involving my son because I was treated so wrong by courts before I hired her and she came through like none other. Thank you so much Elisha. I wanted to hug you in court for what you did for me lol

We had Elisha as our attorney and she is amazing! 5 stars does her no justice. My fiancé was so nervous about fighting for custody but she found a way to convince him that his story matters and he deserves to be in his son’s life! Elisha worked with Michael every step of the way. I remember when we were first looking at lawyers and I came across this law firm. All of the reviews helped ease my nerves with choosing this firm. Owen (the receptionist) has been such a huge help. I’ve had so many questions and he has been remarkable with answering each of them and showing much patience. Elisha was very understanding that we are not rich lol and she worked with us. We were never taken advantage of or overcharged for anything. She was very precise in her work and so professional. She has eased our worries so many times throughout this process! I am so grateful for her. She was able to get Michael joint custody for now and awarded parenting credits. He’s also off child support which he was unfairly placed back on off of the narrative of being a “deadbeat dad” which was never the case and he was overcharged. So we are truly grateful for Elisha and her hard work. We even sent her roses to show our appreciation! I would definitely recommend her! If we need a custody lawyer again, she will definitely be our first choice!

I had Brooke as my attorney representing my divorce case, and let me tell you... she was outstanding! Very professional, and also practical. Being that I've never been through this, she was very patient and also explained things very thoroughly so I could understand and make clear decisions without letting my emotions/feelings get in the way. She worked hard at making sure that I received a fair custody case and also made sure I wasn't being taken advantage of. I would recommend her time and time again! On top of everything, her rates are VERY reasonable and she's an all-around great person! I appreciate all she has done for me! Thank you Brooke!!

If you are looking for someone who will fight for you, Melissa is who you want on your side! She is an amazing attorney and extremely knowledgeable. She will not let you down. She has been on my side fighting for me and my son since 2017 thru my divorce case and has not once gave up on my case or tried to rush thru anything just for the sake of getting things done. I could have not gotten thru these past couple years without her. She has given me advice and has directed me in the right ways while also making sure I feel comfortable in every situation as well. I will forever remain a client of hers. Thank you for everything and all your hard work, Melissa!

Did not have a good experience with Brooke.
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!!!!

I was going through the most emotional and difficult time in my life and I am thankful to have found The Law Office of Melissa Winkler-York. Attorney, Brooke Bernhardt, and her paralegal, Memorie, helped me throughout the entire process, making it as painless as it could possibly be. Not only were they knowledgeable and professional, they are kind and compassionate. They truly cared about my emotional wellbeing. I plan to keep Brooke on retainer and without hesitation, recommended her to friends and family in similar situations.

I hired this firm to get my record expunged. I was very pleased to find out they would take on my case and focus on one county before we decided to proceed with the rest. My concern is that I made a down payment late last summer and agreed I would pay the second part once they filed the petition and we got a court date. The whole thing sounded like it would be wrapped up before the end of the year (2018) and we would go from there. I think I made half of the second payment in October despite having no court date. To the best of my understanding they filed the petition January (2019) and still no court date as we are quickly approaching mid July. I have been told they are not sure what is taking so long for us to get a response on the order. Anyway, today I have received an invoice for the balance for the second month in a row and there has been no updates from the court or a court date scheduled. I'd be excited to pay if things started progressing. Thankfully, the majority of my emails are responded to when I send them but not always and honestly I'm starting to feel very concerned with this process. I only have a year to complete this request and I only have the one opportunity to get it accomplished. I'm not sure if I should start looking to hire another firm/attorney or what, honestly I just feel hopeless. During my consultation this process sounded so simple, now I feel like a bother and an inconvenience. Ultimately I would be very satisfied if things would have gone as discussed and hopefully I am just worrying to much, I just don't want to wait to long to start considering other options. I will update this review as this case progresses.

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.

Melissa Winkler-York is a fantastic attorney and she knows her stuff! I would give Melissa 10 stars if I could! I am very satisfied with the way things turned out. Melissa and Chelsea definitely put my mind at ease and helped me understand what rights I had as the father and that I had a fighting chance to gain joint custody of my kids which is what I ended up being awarded. I highly recommend Melissa Winkler-York and her firm!

As everyone knows Divorce is not something anyone wants to go through in life. From my first appointment to Mediation day. Melissa and her staff were very helpful and made me feel right at home. Melissa kept me inform of each step of the process and made as easy as possible for me relax and let her take care of the details. Speaking of staff members, Chelsea help during this process was greatly appreciated and any questions I had she was quick to reply.

Hey my Name is David.. And Melissa is DEFINITELY Hands down the Best Family Attorney to hire .. She Really Cares and fights for you in your Situation in what ever your Dealing with... My Situation was that my Daughter's mom tried to keep me out of her Life from like 8 months after she was born... It got to a point where I didn't see my Daughter for 2 months... I had to fire another Attorney & then I hired Melissa... She listened to me & went in there & fought for Physical Joint Custody for me.... As a Man in just in General, it's hard to get that type of PHYSICAL time for a child at that age, Especially if you were never married to her mom and she's just an Infant/ Toddler... After reading Melissa reviews I Hired her and She was DEFINITELY what I read about Her & BEYOND.... Affordable & Easy to work with... AND HER STAFF IS SUPER POLITE & VERY HELPFUL AS WELL... I'm DEFINITELY HAPPY WITH MY OUTCOME... I SEE MY DAUGHTER ALMOST EVERYDAY & RAISING HER With Same amount of Physical Time as her Mother.... THANKS MELISSA... Really Appreciate you.....

They don’t like to call back what so ever. I’ve called once a week to get some info, over a 3 month period so I had to gave up. I tried work with them understand might be busy but had to get a different attorney.

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.

If i could give more star i would. Melissa and her team helped me through a trying divorce . I tried filing and doing it on my own but with spelling errors the courts werent giving me much help . She got my divorce done with a blink of an eye. I dont really know where all the bad reviews are coming from , but to be such a well-educated attorney she got the job done and was very well priced!! Hopefully i wont have to need an attorney but if i do , i will definately be going to her ! Thanks so much Melissa!!

I was left having to find a lawyer in a very short amount of time, with no prior experience in doing so, and Zach made sure everything was arranged in the time frame allotted. I’m very impressed by his profession and hard work. I would recommend him to my friends, family or anyone looking to hire a lawyer, again and again.

My experience with Melissa was great! My case wasn't too complicated but anything I needed or any questions I had she was on it.

Melissa was a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable and knows her stuff. I was trying to obtain 50/50 custody and she was able to get me “full” physical custody of my kids. I had called and met with a few other attorneys before hiring Melissa. When I met with her she was very professional but still compassionate. She explained what steps we would take and was very confident in what our outcome would be. She had a more budget friendly retainer fee and We were able to get an agreement signed and didn’t even have to go to court. I would highly recommend Melissa to any one going through family court.

Thank you so much Melissa I appreciate all that you did for me and my family

I enjoyed working with Zach and his team throughout this difficult time. I feel that he handle my case with compassion and professionalism. He was a big help. Answered my questions in a timely manner, explained things pretty well during mediation, and just wanted the best for my daughters and me. 

I feel that I made a great choice in having him represent me.

Very knowledgeable of the law, but slow to return calls, poor customer service, and little to no follow through or accountability for shortcomings.

Melissa helped my husband gain custody of his son. Something we tried to do years ago, but failed. She is extremely professional, thorough, and is just amazing. I have referred a few friends to her and will continue to do so.
