We recently worked with Attorney Melissa DiRado for a legal matter within the family. Melissa was very compassionate and guided us through an unfamiliar territory. She helped us understand the process and gave us our best legal options while helping us navigate through all plausible scenarios. Melissa made sure she was available when needed and was very prompt in her responses. Most importantly she was our fiercest advocate through the entire process and always looked after our best interest.- Smita B.
