Top Rated Family Law Firm in VA., SC., TX., & FL.

I can’t say enough good things about Erica Hawkins. She exceeded my expectations and she helped me at one of my lowest points in my life. Not only was she professional and timely she was understanding and compassionate. In my experience it is hard to find all of those qualities in one attorney. I appreciate everything she has done for me. She really helped get my life back together and that is priceless to me. I have recommended her to family and close friends and they thanked me for introducing her to them. She continues to help me by helping the people I care about. I highly recommend Erica Hawkins.

It’s hard to write a review for a divorce attorney as there are no real winners when breaking up a family. My attorney, Stephen Lukacs, was prompt in response time, understanding of my concerns, patient with my occasional panicky moments, and stayed the course to ensure a fair outcome. We were thrown some unexpected curve balls by a high conflict opponent which prolonged the process unnecessarily, but in the end everything worked out exactly as it should have. The entire office staff is polite, personable, and professional from reception to paralegals, to billing.

I can only rate up to 5, but the amount of work my lawyer Stephen Lukacs did for me is worth at least a thousand. I cannot begin to describe what a blessing all of Melone Hatley has been. There is no better option you could go with. My paralegal Jessica Hayden checked in on me throughout this entire case and been beyond amazing with helping coordinate everything properly. I could not have asked for a better legal team, and neither can you. They will take care of you like you’re family and give your case their full attention 24/7. Go with Melone Hatley.

Julia has been a great lawyer for me during this tough time going through my divorce. She has given great legal advice every step of the way and the timeliness of her responses has been great. She has helped ease my anxiety and gives me hope that this difficult situation will eventually resolve. I personally want to thank her.

Stephen Lukacs has been a blessing for my family, so far. We are still working together, but if we ever have any questions, he responds within the same day via email. He has been prompt, attentive, honest, understanding of my wants, informative and was masterful in the courtroom. He doesn’t just want to run up your bill “just cuz”. I am very happy so far to have been assigned him and hope we get the outcome we desire in the end.

I had a great experience with this firm. Ms. Julia, Ms. Angela, and the rest of the team were very helpful during the process. The long process became manageable once they took my case. They were patient with me and explained everything, every step of the way. I’m glad I chose this firm to represent me. Thank you all.

I am extremely happy with my experience and would highly recommend Melone Hatley. Everyone who I interacted with at the firm was very professional, helpful and kind. I worked directly with Brian and he was deeply knowledgeable and compassionate while guiding me through the entire process. My questions were responded to in a timely manner and I always felt that he genuinely cared about the outcome of my case.

My wife and I were extremely pleased with the level of care and expertise given to us by Melone Hatley, P.C. Service provided – Trust

I highly recommend Melone Hatley. The staff that I have been exposed to are extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Brian has been the best to work with! He is very knowledgeable and helped guide me through everything! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!

I cannot recommend this attorney’s office enough. I had a major traffic concern and James helped me and I am forever grateful. He is smart and was a calming presence throughout the entire process.

What a breath of fresh air they were. After dealing with a terrible firm that took a divorce and turned it into a year long $30,000 nightmare. Emily Vaughn turned my case around in as little as a week. All parties were talking again and it was finished a month or two after that. Eric Schell and Emily Vaughn were hands down the best to work with. I would recommend them to anyone! I am and will continue to use them in other matters in the future. They truly impressed! Great job you two!!

I contacted the Charlotte office with some initial inquiries and found myself in contact with Haley Acuff. I was impressed with her obvious compassion and objectiveness. Her insightful questions helped me to clarify my thought process, while also inspiring confidence that I have indeed found the caring and capable legal representation I was hopeful to find.

“Worked with both James and Rebecca. Both were very professional and worked hard to make sure I was taken care of with my child support cases. I fully recommend them.”

“This is by far the #1 Law Firm! I had the pleasure of hiring this firm at the Reston, Virginia location and it surpassed all of my expectations. Melone Hatley P.C has exceptional attributes including:

1) Customer Service- The staff is ALWAYS pleasant/warming

2) Communication- Attorney’s are very easy to contact and the response time is rapid.

3) Cost- The retainer and hourly attorney fee’s are very cost efficient

4) Client Case- They work diligently on my case”

“They were so friendly and attentive to the matter I brought to them. I wasn’t just treated like “another case”. It felt like they actually cared about me and the outcome of the matter I brought to them. The positive results they got me obviously were the best part!”

“I hired MH to handle a divorce. Charles and Angela have been nothing but professional, empathetic, and timely. There isn’t another firm out there that will provide this level of care. Highly recommended.”

“Ms. Alexandra at Melone Hatley is great with her communication skills. Very honest, helpful, and keeps to her word. Flawless system that this law firm has set up. Impressed to say the least.”

“I had started this process of going through child custody at Norfolk JDR with Mr. Hatley about 2 1/2 years ago. He had done SO much from fighting false domestic violence charges to helping me gain custody of my son. I was skeptical when I first came in years ago because I got passed off from another lawyer to Mr. Hatley.

I was very blunt and had told him that I needed everything he had and that is exactly what he did. He was there for every phone call, every emergency, every email, every court appearance on time and dressed extremely well. He knew his stuff and he had saved me a lot of money and time staying out of court for false charges. If you ever get the unlucky chance of having to go to court you wont be unlucky if you have Hatley on your side. Thank you guys for everything you have done.”
