Testimonial

I was referred to Melody Rissell Leonard by my Estate attorney and another Employment attorney(who only represented employers) for some time critical help with some employment documents. Rissell law was extremely responsive and I was able to schedule a preliminary consult (no charge) immediately and then a very expedient and cost effective 30 minute session with Melody. When we connected she had already thoroughly reviewed the documents I had submitted and was prepared with suggested edits and a strategy to close it out. She's thorough, experienced and empathetic. I will certainly go back if Im ever in a similar situation.

Ms. Rissell did a great job of informing me of my rights and possible outcomes for my situation, and answered my questions in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Melody for employees who need a voice.”

“I contacted Melody in regards to an entertainment management contract. She is hands down the best attorney I have met with. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to re-negotiating the terms. She’s extremely professional, polite, and efficient. We were able to complete and revise what needed to be done within 24 hours. She gave me the best advice with the whole process and communicated clearly in laymans terms everything that needed to be changed. I highly recommend using her for any sort of Entertainment or employment contracts or even just for advice! Thanks Melody!”
