Hired Attorney

Ms. Bragg did a wonderful job handling my case. I hire Ms. Bragg because the previous lawyer I had was not being responsible and completely made the matter worse. Ms. Bragg step in and took the bull by the horn and did a amazing job. The process was quite challenging, but she never gave up which made me feel less stress and confident in her abilities. I would highly recommend Ms. Bragg to anyone.

Melanie is such an asset to our business and personal life. She has been with us since the very early stages of our business - helping to review contracts and ensure we don't make any missteps. She's also been there immediately when we needed her for personal matters. She is super busy, but you wouldn't know it. She always has time for us, and is completely invested in whatever the current need is. She always wants to catch up on how we are doing personally and professionally. She remembers every contract and every case. She's absolutely delightful, and she wins. We have always been in the best place contractually whether we are starting a new business relationship, or negotiating the buildout of a new property. We've fortunately only had to use her for one court case. She won that case. It wasn't the most straightforward easy case, but she found a way to build a strong case and get a win against the odds. Long story short, theres no hesitation in recommending Melanie.

I utilized Lawyers.com for the first time and selected Bragg Law to assist with my out of state Estate closure and Probate case. Melanie and her staff were very thorough and timely in their efforts on my behalf, including representation/scheduling support for a Probate Zoom Hearing. I would highly recommend Bragg Law and would certainly use them in the future should the need arise.

I contacted multiple lawyers to set up a Living Will/Trust and Melanie was the only one who took the initiative and time to assist me. She was very prompt in answering my questions and made sure my legal needs were taken care of. I will definitely use her again for any other legal matters and I recommend her services. Thank you Melanie!

Melanie was a professional and always had good advice to share. She seemed to always be available even though I know she was busy. I had a very tough divorce case with lots of drama and she handled it all very well and secured a very good deal that was fair and in my best interest. She did not try to run up fees but acted in my best interest throughout the process. I highly recommend her for your legal needs.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
