See What Melissa's Clients Are Saying

"I met Melissa in the days following my brother’s death at the hands of six Vallejo Police officers. Melissa is a brilliant attorney. What sets her apart though is her humanity. She genuinely cares about making our communities free of unnecessary police violence. Her life experiences both professionally and personally and the actions she takes make Melissa a needed, respected and appreciated part of our communities. As my family likes to say, “we love Melissa on purpose." Kori McCoy

"When I walked into the office, I was angry, I was confused. I felt like I needed to do something, but didn't know what. I knew that what happened felt wrong, but I wondered what a lawyer would say. I didn't know or care much if I had a case. I just needed somebody to make it make sense. I went in looking for answers and left with family. Melissa has gone above and beyond what a lawyer is traditionally responsible for. I never felt like I was just another case. She's cared for me and checked on me like I was her son. We laugh, joke and when its time to ride shes always there. Even after my case is over, I know she will always have my back." Adrian Burrell
