Melody represented my ex-wife for an enforcement, modification and later an additional enforcement. It the case of the first enforcement, it was because my ex refused to divide the sales proceeds from a house we owned as we had previously agreed. To keep the sale moving, we agreed to have the funds go into Melody s escrow account until we could have a court hearing which was fine with me as I knew I would win. As expected, I won in court and Melody was ordered to release the funds to me within 7 days. To my surprise, Melody refused to send me the money and it was only after threating legal action against her firm did she eventually comply. In the case of the modification, I won primary custody which was again no surprise. Melody did waste a lot of time with needless depositions, motions and hearings but perhaps that was to run up the bill of my ex or perhaps she was forced to do it by her client so no real beef on my side. For the final enforcement it was because my ex-wife missed some child support payments and didn t reimburse me her share of expenses as ordered. Just before our court hearing we reached an agreement for her to send Melody money and Melody would pay me once I signed a release to keep my ex from jail time. Melodys release was written incorrectly so we had to go back and forth a couple times but not a huge deal. The issue became after I signed the release. Melody again refused to release the funds. I tried to call her office to get it resolved but she pretended to be someone else when she answered the phone. Eventually she did release the funds but it was a challenge. Perhaps she has financial issues and floats others money or perhaps shes just unethical - its hard to know. I say all this to warn anyone that has a case with or against her do not let her hold funds. She has a history of not releasing money as agreed.

Going though a very contentious divorce was extremely trying, but thankfully I had a chosen the right team to represent me. Melody and Stacy walked me through every step, making sure all my questions were answered, preparing me for hearings and providing just the right amount of compassion when I was at my lowest points. They always had mine and my daughters best interest at heart and helped me find clarity when I couldnt see through the fog. Divorce and custody issues can feel so overwhelming, which is why having the right team is key. Melody and Stacy are experts at what they do and knowing they had my back when I was going through your worst moments of my life was the best decision I could have made. I cannot thank them enough!

If I could give a higher rating then 5 stars I would. Melody Petitt was absolutely amazing at every step of the way. She set very clear expectations and goals and met every single one of them! She and Stacy Hansen, were a power team! Stacy was so quick to handle anything that popped up at a moments notice. And in court Melody was absolutely fantastic. She accomplished everything we hoped for! I seriously could not have got through my case and truthfully my every day life without their help. From emails, phone calls, and meetings; they were available to me at anytime. Even after my case was over, Melody took time to talk to me on the phone about expectations for the future and how to navigate things if something else happened. Even months after my case was over she still would reply to any questions I had. If you are going through a divorce or a custody battle, like I was, there is no better team to help you. Thank you so much, both of you for all your hard work and dedication! My kids and I are forever grateful!!!
