I reached out to her after 11 years to request her representation for an expungement and now recently, for help gathering old documents I needed for my new position, and she went above and beyond. Even after over a decade, she remembered my case and took the time to track everything down quickly and thoroughly. I'm incredibly grateful for her continued support and professionalism. If you're looking for someone who's not only excellent at what they do but genuinely cares, she's the one you want in your corner for sure.

I reached out to Melissa during Covid needing some immediate help and representation, for what ever…read morereason covid had an impact on attorney availability and Melissa took appointment with me right away. I had reached out to at least 4 other attorneys and all were months out. At our first meeting I was so impressed with her attentiveness as I described my situation. She assured me that my case would be approached with the best interest of my children in mind and a focus on meditation not litigation. That is exactly what she's done and her ability to achieve positive outcomes is appreciated. Melissa is easy to reach and always responds quickly. I recently had an issue with the other party not complying with court order on a Sunday morning, I reached out to Melissa by text on her personal phone and she replied immediately! I felt bad for bothering her on a weekend and told her such, she replied, "this is exactly the reason that clients have my cell phone. Don't worry about bothering me on the weekend." That to me is above and beyond! I'm so thankful for Melissa and her expertise in navigating family law and her willingness to not drag every little thing before the court. She will reach out to the other party and try a resolution through conversation and negotiation. Usually with a good outcome. The only time things weren't moved forward was because the other party was obstructive, unprofessional and inefficient or educated on best practices concerning family law. Melissa can only do so much as one side of a two side situation and she works hard. I highly recommend her. Thank you Melissa Atteberry!

I'm very pleased to have retained her and stuck with her, that is not to say that there weren't times of frustration due to the speed at which the case moved, which might be a similar complaint found elsewhere in the reviews, but that has more to do with the nature of the legal system than with Crista's lack of commitment. Often times I would receive an email at 12:30 at night after she had been at the officer all day, she somehow found time to be both a mother and a dedicated professional. On a separate occasion she worked on my case during a recovery after surgery she was working, all of which is very impressive. If you hire her, I encourage patience, she is like a steam engine, she may appear slow at first but given time she works much faster delivering powerful persuasive arguments.

Mr Cardoza is professional, respectful, and has a great rep-or with the courts and clients. I would recommend him for minor to major criminal cases. He has been not only a great lawyer and defense but also empathy towards the family in such a time of hardship. Mr. Cardoza went above and beyond to make sure a much needed rehabilitation program was implemented into sentencing instead of prison. I am very grateful for this attorney and highly recommend him.

Although what I needed was outside his area of practice, he gathered some information for me, and found someone who could get me the other information and help I needed, and he was prompt and thorough in doing so. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Cardoza's services if I ever need them.

Unfortunately, I was reinjured at work and immediately knew that I would choose Siles and Foster Law Office to represent me again. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings and got back to me quickly. His administrative staff, especially Tabitha, was always friendly and never made me feel like she was in a rush. She was knowledgeable and would find out the answers quickly if she was unsure. When you get injured, worker's compensation can be a nightmare and be very confusing. The firm helped navigate the insurance company and get doctors that cared about my well-being. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney that is respectful and knows how to fight for his client, Steve Foster is the right choice. His legal representation restored my faith in the justice system. I highly recommend and will work with this law office again. Thanks, team! Dan H.

Mr. McHugh is a lawyer. Just not a very helpful one…read more Please consider the following questions before allowing Mr. McHugh to take your money and represent you. Would you like a lawyer that: Advocates for you? Communicates with you? Possesses a sense of urgency? Instills a sense of reassurance or partnership with you? Takes notes regarding your case and then actually refers to them in the future? Makes eye contact with you? Remembers your name? If you answer "Yes" to any of the above questions, then Mr. McHugh is not the lawyer for you. Instead, if you would like a lawyer that: Starts off your first consultation by saying: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence..." and then does exactly that. Makes you feel like a simpleton because YOU don't understand the law or the intricacies of the court. Requires continual hand-holding, follow-up, and prompting from you for any action to be taken on your behalf. Does not respond in a timely manner to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Simply forwards emails to you from the court or the opposing counsel with no explanatory comment or additional context. Forces the opposing counsel to write a hardcopy letter to your lawyer that starts with: "I have been trying to reach you. Please give me a call." Just to get a response and discuss terms. When confronted, admits that his communications with you have not been "up to par" and yet is no more proactive or transparent in future interactions. If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations! Mr. McHugh is your kind of lawyer. If you retain Mr. McHugh, expect to pay full price for less than full service. You will be left in the dark and then get billed for doing your own case management and communication. Mr. McHugh failed to put forth even the minimum expected effort for a retained attorney. At no time in handling my case did he proactively reach out to me with information, options, or communications to bring my case to a timely resolution. In every interaction it was up to me to initiate communication or prompt him to take action in contacting opposing counsel or continually remind him to ensure key elements I desired were included in the iterative drafts of court documents. The gut-wrenching process of a divorce or custody dispute is draining and comes at a high emotional cost. Paying for an attorney that is distant, disengaged, and unresponsive only compounds the cost. Had Mr. McHugh expended half the effort on my behalf that I spent on writing this online review, I would have avoided a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, stress, and fees. Save yourself the trouble, frustration, and headache of my experience. Keep searching and find a helpful and committed lawyer to represent you.
