This is honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with an attorney. My case was a wages case against a Fortune 500 company that denied paying what I rightfully earned...I received my check in less time then we anticipated and I am very happy. Thanks again to Melehy and Associates for your representation…..should I ever need legal assistance in this kind of matter again I have no doubt in contacting your firm.
