An easy choice if you want a genuine, knowledgeable person on your side!

Melanie was awesome. Very thorough and answered all of my questions throughout the long court process. She was supportive and never let me feel bad about the situation I was in. Sometimes it can take a while for her to email back, but overall, great experience.

Excellent Attorney

I had the privilege of working with Melanie on a challenging civil family law matter, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and compassionate approach. From day one, she provided clarity and reassurance. She took the time to listen and understand my concerns, making sure I felt supported. Unlike other attorneys I’ve worked with in the past, Melanie always kept me informed, which further strengthened my confidence in her ability to navigate my case effectively. Her deep legal knowledge, strategic thinking, and ability to explain the legal process made everything far less overwhelming. Thanks to Melanie’s unwavering dedication, my case was resolved in a way that allowed me to move forward with peace of mind knowing that my son is safe. I truly appreciate her empathy, responsiveness, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my family. If you’re facing a family law matter and need a knowledgeable, compassionate attorney, I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie. She is truly outstanding.

You will not be disappointed

I had the opportunity/privilege of watching Melanie in trial over a highly contested custody case. She was very aware of all the history of the case (she came on later on in the matter) and the current situation. She knew her facts and was able to present her case in a manner that 100% benefited her client. If you need someone who is tentative to your case/needs and is ready to battle for you, I would highly recommend hiring Melanie. You will not be disappointed.

Without question, one of my best decisions

I cannot recommend my divorce lawyer highly enough. From our very first meeting, she demonstrated an impressive level of insight and intuition that made me feel completely at ease during what was an incredibly challenging time. She was always quick to respond, offering clear and thoughtful advice while maintaining a perfect balance of professionalism and human understanding. Her approach was both strategic and compassionate, ensuring that every aspect of my case was handled with care and attention. I never once felt like just another client; she took the time to listen and make sure I understood every detail, especially when it came to the financial nuances involved. Her ability to navigate complex financial issues was nothing short of excellent. She anticipated potential challenges and proposed solutions that I hadn’t even considered, showing an impressive depth of knowledge and foresight. Throughout the process, her thoughtfulness and dedication were evident, and I always felt confident that she was acting with my best interests in mind. Working with her was a truly incredible experience, and I’m deeply grateful for everything she did to ensure a fair and smooth resolution. Without question, choosing Melanie Haynes was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Highly Recommmend!

My divorce went so smoothly. I never imagined it could be that easy and fast. Melanie made a very difficult situation extremely manageable and handled everything so that I could focus on what was most important…my kids and our transition. Thank you, Melanie!

Great lawyer!

Melanie is very professional and capable. She fits the role of attorney perfectly. She is fair and friendly, a fast thinker with an excellent brain, she knows her business inside and out, she can be aggressive when necessary and she is available and responsive to questions concerns and emails. My previous attorney treated me like a second rate client, like she was squeezing me in to an already heavy case load, treated me like an afterthought. But not Melanie, she made me feel like my case and my concerns were her priority and they were. She is the attorney you want on your side to fight for what’s fair and right for you. Also, my previous attorney did not have the experience and knowledge necessary for my complicated case. Melanie jumped right in and was able to lead and direct my case properly. I can’t say enough good about her she’s did everything exactly right. I couldn’t imagine being in my very terrible situation without someone capable and strong like Melanie to stand in front of me and fight for me.

Melanie will have your best interest in mind when she takes your case. Melanie was considerate of my time. She was very transparent throughout the divorce process. She is strategic and methodical in her approach. I would highly recommend her for anyone that is seeking a true professional. The divorce process is very rough, but thanks to Melanie my kids and I can heal and move forward as a family.

You definitely want her on your side

Melanie Haynes went above and beyond in defending me in my case. She took the time to learn about me and my specific situation to offer an in depth, personalized service that far exceeded my expectations. She was very thorough and knowledgeable. Communication was exceptional, she made sure to confirm every decision with me beforehand and ensure I understood and agreed. She knows what she is doing and doesn’t waste time and in the end, saved me months of time and thousands of dollars.

Would highly recommend.

Divorce

Melanie was very thorough in explaining all of my options to me and assisting me through the process. She was quick to respond to emails, phone calls, etc as well as quick in sharing information with my spouses attorney. We had everything finalized in a little over 60 days and were very happy about that!

Review

She was very easy to work with, listened to my concerns and helped in any way possible. She was also on top of her game when it came to getting things filed and getting the ball rolling. She was quick to communicate with my ex’s lawyer, and persistent when that was not reciprocated at times. Definitely happy with how things turned out and her efficiency.

Posted by Paul | April 26, 2023 | Hired Attorney 

Strongly recommend!

Melanie did an excellent job on all fronts for my divorce. She explained the process, and her communication and council were very informative and helpful with the process and procedures. Her experience in law enforcement and as a pro tem judge was very valuable. In addition, she handled the finances and division with ease.

Excellent Representation!

You could not ask for a better lawyer to represent you. Melanie, took the time to explain the process and made sure I understood all of my options. She would provide her recommendations, but more importantly, took time to listen to me and my situation. She was always available and responded to all my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone needing help during a difficult times/situations they are going through. She listens to you and is very supportive of you through the process. I have already told my friends how much I appreciated her support and expert advice during my process. She is great communicator in terms you can understand and takes time to explain things more than once to ensure you understand if needed. I cannot express enough my gratitude to Melanie for her help. You do not have to look any further for a lawyer that will be on your side and help you through the process.

Melanie Haynes Review

I retained Melanie to represent me through my divorce, which involved a somewhat complex Property Settlement Agreement. Melanie was extremely accommodating and considerate of my concerns, and continuously worked to ensure that all of the property was correctly settled. Melanie was also very thorough in providing communication to all parties involved, and keeping me in the loop throughout. I would have no reservation recommending Melanie to anyone going through a similar situation, and would turn to her for any further legal representation needs.

Best Choice

Melanie is fantastic! I have a lot of social anxiety and was very scared to take the necessary first steps. However from our first meeting, she explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Getting a divorce can be intimidating, but it was less so with her by my side to help get through it. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate attorney don’t be afraid to take that first step with Melanie.

Outstanding divorce attorney

I contacted Melanie Haynes recently to handle my divorce. She was very thorough in answering all my questions and explained the entire process. She was easy to communicate with and accessible when needed. I am very impressed with her expertise and handling. Recommend her highly!

“I was referred to Melanie Haynes by a friend who works in the judicial system. It was the most important phone call and best choice I have ever made. Melanie stood by and guided me through a very tough and nerve-racking time. Not only is she professional and accomplished, but she is also caring and personable, which made the process easier to handle. She was never too busy to return an email and was always prompt to return my call if a stressful situation arose. Melanie, I cannot say thank you enough for all you’ve done for me and for going above and beyond. My kids mean the world to me and you really were like my guardian angel the entire way. I still hear your advice and use it often. Thank you again for everything!” – Sarah Y.

“Melanie is so much more than just a knowledgeable attorney. She takes the time to listen to her clients and shows a great deal of compassion to their individual situation. Divorce is never an easy process, but Melanie helped see me through it by providing the support I needed. Her fees are comparable and she will not “pad” her compensation with unnecessary communication. I received timely responses with fair and honest legal advice. I cannot thank her enough.” – Karen P

“Not enough can be said in regards to Melanie Haynes. I had a despicable unspeakable disaster crash into my life. Totally caught off guard, was devastated. I was referred to Melanie for help. Melanie came into my life as a real person, not an attorney with an invisible boundary line in place. Melanie made me feel I was cared for and that she would do whatever she could to stop the damages being done to me as well as help me head forward with positive change. At the time, nothing seemed possible, a sinking ship, going down fast with no way out. Melanie stopped my ship from sinking and helped me repair my ship. Melanie will always have a soft spot in my heart, I appreciate her as the defender that she is but more importantly, a wonderful person that will be there if I ever need her. I have a new life, with potential and full of hope because of Melanie. Thank you Melanie for everything that you’ve done for me.” – Mark M.

“Melanie handled my divorce and long distance parenting plan. Melanie is professional, informative, fair and is always looking out for my and my children’s best interest. Melanie made my bad situation easier through her sound legal advice and by demonstrating that she cares about me as a person, not just as a client. I would recommend Melanie to anyone needing an excellent attorney.” – Jamie R.

“We all go through really troubling times in our lives that can be dark and scary, not knowing what the outcome will be. These times are made worse when they involve your children. The most important persons in your world. Melanie Haynes helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. She is a friend and someone to lean on, someone I trust to help me through. She put my family first and fought for the future and well-being of my children. She is a go getter, but is very fair and reasonable. She is helpful in referring co-parenting resources and counselors to help make transitions easier on myself and my children.

She is a classy, educated, very knowledgeable of family law and is very compassionate. I am so grateful to have her on my side.

Eternally grateful.” – Shannon R.
