Hired Attorney Melissa Pendergrass

RUN!!! Melissa Pendergrass showed a clear pattern of behavior that NO competent attorney should ever engage in. She filed multiple documents that were filled with factual errors, ignored several corrections made in open court, and continued repeating false statements even AFTER being repeatedly notified they were incorrect. Most egregiously, she kept attempting to file documents after she moved to withdraw and after her own client TERMINATED her on the record, something any attorney knows is absolutely NOT allowed. Melissa’s misconduct dragged the case out, confused the record, wasted judicial resources, and played a direct role in a Judge being disqualified, after solely relying on attorney Pendergrass’s numerous false statements.

Hired Attorney Melissa Pendergrass

DONT WALK RUN FROM THIS WOMAN!!! Your money would be better off with a public defender or representing yourself. The Florida bar association dropped my complaint against her because they don't investigate ineffective counsel. They only investigate misconduct. THAT DOESNT MEAN SHE WASNT NEGLIGENT !!I didn't have the financial means at the time to hire another attorney to fight that for me. Her reputation is bottom of the barrel; I'll never forget the reactions I got in citrus county when I told people who was representing me. HORRIBLE, I ended up firing her for my divorce. I still to this day have never seen the evidence in my criminal case I STAND BY THAT.... Id be willing to take a polygraph... She collected her checks and did almost nothing. She claims there was a "chamber conference" with judge Howard for my criminal case. Yet could not provide any proof of it at all and it was never on the docket. Then told me the day I went to court it was in my best interest to plea out t
