My family and I had a great experience w/ Melody Davoust. She was appointed as a GAL in our adoption case and did a wonderful, professional job! My son absolutely loved speaking w/ her. She made sure that he wasn't overwhelmed or uncomfortable. Our case was pretty complicated and she did everything she could to keep our costs down. I highly recommend Ms. Davoust. She is an outstanding attorney!

A very unprofessional attorney hired her back in the late 90's as my divorce attorney. Only to find out that there was a conflict of intrests between her and my x-husband. She hired my x-husband, to work for her as I was finalizing my divorce with him! She doesn’t care about you, or show you respect only calls when her payment is due. I could not talk to her about changes in the divorce settlement during my divorce; I tried asking her questions and had to follow-up with her secretary. She became hostile and aggressive, when I wanted a change in my settlement and she quit on me for no reason at all. She ripped me off, and didn’t even finalize the divorce proceedings. I had to return back to court almost 12 years later and had a judge rule on a portion of the divorce settlement. All because of her cost me $10,000, and only to find out she was working with my x-husband the entire time during my divorce!

BAD NEWS!! This lawyer was appointed as a GAL in my custody case almost two years ago. She was very biased! Her decision caused so much pain to myself and family. Because of her my children have been living separatly for the past two years. She is not an advocate for gay rights and has biased opinions concerning rights of gay parents. She is a liar and has zero compassion for real people with real problems. She came to my home to interview myself and my family and talked about herself and her lavish vacation plans, very egocentric!! Because of her I have had to wait out two years for the chance to get custody of my child and have had to spend tens of thousands of dollars just in preparation.

STAY AWAY!!! Very very unprofessional. I regret hiring this lawyer. She also jack up her bill. She will lie and will attempt to get you a restraining order base on unfounded ideas. Try to communicate with her and she won't reply, unless it's about her payment.
