Law Office of Melissa D Polk, PC

I’ve only written one Unilocal review before, but because my interactions with Melissa Polk were so positive, I felt compelled to share my experience. Anyone seeking a bankruptcy, or family law attorney would do well to seek her services.
Being at the point where bankruptcy was my only option as I neared retirement was both frightening and humbling. Before I reached out to Ms. Polk I had contacted another firm, but it felt like a bankruptcy factory. I was hoping to be treated as an individual, and with Ms. Polk I was. She is professional, personable, calm, and wonderfully responsive.
She also exceeded all of my expectations. I didn’t think it would be possible to submit a petition for Chapter 7, and had braced myself for a five year Chapter 13 repayment plan. I can’t adequately express how grateful I am for Ms. Polk’s knowledge of the law, courts and process, because thanks to her I have a second chance at life… one I will not squander.
Considering how Ms. Polk was able to help me file Chapter 7 successfully, I realize that it would have been a mistake to file by myself. To have her in my corner made all the difference.
I don’t believe anyone will say that bankruptcy is fun, but Ms. Polk made it a relatively painless process. She communicated clearly about what documentation and information was required, and I followed her checklist to deliver it to her.
At first I was worried about different lawyers charging a range of fees for their services, but I discovered that bankruptcy law caps the fees that can be charged. With a level fee playing field like that, you want to make sure you get an excellent lawyer who is looking out for your best interests, and I can unequivocally state that Ms. Polk is, and did.
It’s my pleasure to recommend her to anyone seeking such legal assistance.

Melissa Polk is professional, compassionate, and very good at what she does. She made a very worrisome experience manageable. She explained all the steps in the process and was available to answer all my questions. Her responses were quick and informed. She is calm, intelligent, and helpful; possessing the best qualities a human and a professional could have. i highly recommend her!

I’d already researched everything I could find on the internet and was ready for a professional to step in and help me out. Melissa answered all my questions, was very prompt with emails and got me the results I wanted. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Melissa is the BEST!!! She advised me well, took charge of my chapter 13 and walked me throught the process. It’s completed, and I’m still in my home thanks to Melissa. When we went to court for our hearing, I watched the other lawyers… they were unprepared, blaming their paralegals and their clients for missing information… was I ever happy to have Melissa. She was meticulous, and the Trustee just ‘breezed’ us through the approval process. Call her. you won’t be sorry!

Melissa helped my husband and I with our bankruptcy. This was the hardest most stressful thing we have ever gone through and we have 4 kids! She made the process easy and comfortable. Although I hope to never ever NEED a lawyer in the future. If I do I will always use Melissa. I highly recommend her.

It has been a pleasure to deal with Melissa and her team. She is extremely knowledgeable in her domain and was able to help me with my legal affairs with utmost professionalism and confidence.
I found is extremely easy to openly talk to Melissa and make her understand the complexity of my case — which she handled with great panache.
Thanks Melissa.
