Having never encountered a situation that required criminal defense, I was terrified that inadequate representation could destroy my families future. Having never been involved in the justice system, its terms and procedures seemed like a foreign language to me, and left my family feeling lost. Mr. Melrose, and his amazing paralegal Ryan Edwards patiently returned our emails and phone calls EVERY TIME! They both explained what to expect every step of the way, and answered all questions regarding each hearing. Mark Melrose accepted our case knowing he may not even get paid for his services, yet he never made my family feel like we were a charity case. Mr. Melrose is an ethical man with impeccable family morals.

It has been a pleasure working with Ryan Barber on a personal injury case. She is always polite and extremely helpful!

Very good firm. This firm knows what they are talking about. From traffic tickets to medical malpractice cases, I would hire them.

The best criminal/ personal injury/medical malpractice law firm in the western half of NC. They get incredible results. I am an attorney and regularly send clients to them in areas in which I don't practice. The receptionist (bilingual) and support staff are courteous, efficient and professional. The attorneys give free consultations and If they decide to take your case on contingency basis (no fee), you will be a winner.

Melrose, Seago & Lay is a great law firm with very competent and professional lawyers and a great staff. It is always a pleasure to work with them; from Rosa the receptionist to Cindy Bryson, one of the paralegals.
