Reviews

I worked in the same legal community with Melanie for three years in the Coachella Valley, CA (she as a private, and I was a public defender). I must say that Melanie commands respect and attention from both the bench and opposing counsel when she enters the court. She is highly regarded for her intelligence and legal knowledge, and has a natural compassion and sympathy for her clients’ circumstances. You can not go wrong when choosing Mel as your legal representative.

I’ve known Attorney Roe for over 20 years. I have never met an attorney who is more committed to her clients than she is. Not only does she seek the best result possible from a legal standpoint, but she is also concerned with how best to support her clients in avoiding legal trouble in the future. She sees clients as people with problems, not just as cases. I heartily recommend her.

I endorse Melanie Roe. I have been consistently impressed with her skill and presentation. Ms. Roe is very knowledgeable and experienced. She continuously and zealously advocates for her client’s rights and interests. Ms. Roe is known, and well-respected by district attorneys, defense attorneys, and judges. She also has a kind heart, and is very pleasant to interact with.

I am a local attorney who has practiced law for the past 19 years. I have known Melanie Roe for over a decade. I first met Melanie Roe when she was working for the Public Defender’s Office in Riverside County. Although attorneys employed by the Public Defender’s Office have an extremely busy case load and are generally overworked and underpaid, Melanie Roe would always devote the necessary time in order to properly investigate and prepare her cases. Melanie Roe vigorously represents all of her clients and although some of cases would be resolved by negotiated plea, more often than not – Melanie would litigate a case at trial and receive favorable results. There is no doubt that Melanie Roe is a seasoned defense attorney, always focused on getting the best results for her clients. In my opinion, Melanie Roe is one of the top 10 trial lawyers in Riverside County. Accordingly, I Respectfully endorse Melanie Roe.

Dynamite Attorney who truly cared about our case.

Attorney Melanie Roe was highly recommended to us as a Defense Atty. Our Son was charged with a violent felony. We found Ms. Roe to be caring and compassionate, while at the same time, an expert in the law. We were truly in awe at what a commanding presence she was in the Court room. She is very professional, thorough, confident and well respected by her colleagues. She truly examined our Sons case and determined the proper strategy. We were more than satisfied with the outcome. We would definitely use her services again.

I can finally move on with my life with no dui charges on my record what a blessing

After being arrested for a DUI and given a refusal I lost my license for a whole year and knew that I was innocent and I knew I didn’t want this on my record especially because I am going to school for criminal justice and it would just be hard to find a job in this field. Melanie was refered to me by another lawyer in Los Angeles and he said that the Kennedy and Roe firm was the best in Riverside county and I cant tell you how right that he was. Melanie was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what she was doing and how she was going to do this. Essentially I wanted to take my case to trial because I knew I was innocent and I knew melanie could prove this, however I knew going to trial was going to take alot of time out of school and work so Melanie was able to find a better solution and get me a plea bargain that I was very satisfied with. I went from having a Dui refusal to pleading guilty to a dry wreckless and she got the dui erased from my record completely. I had to pay $320 in total in fines and I washed my hands of the whole thing. It really felt great having an attorney with so much knowledge and confidence in herself and in her client. I now have a chance to move on with my life school and put all of this behind me. Thank you so much, Melanie. You and your firm kept your word and fought for me the way you said that you would and thats a quality you dont find very often theese days.
