Our Reviews

Melissa H.
Former Client
"Melissa and team are exceptional attorneys. After my father passed, we had a difficult family case. The firm handled all of our questions with the upmost regard and empathy. Melissa always provided her time when we had questions and thoroughly prepared us for our depositions. The firm played an integral role in keeping our family’s nerves at bay during the long period we waited before the judgement. This firm is extremely detail-oriented and are proactive listeners. They understood our situation and were so involved it seemed like we were the only case they were working on. Not only did we win our case, Melissa and her team’s guidance was unmatched. I highly recommend using Melissa and Bellator Law Group and we are deeply appreciative of all the firm did to support us."

"I personally worked with the Bellator Law Group over the last 2 years and I don't think you could find a more kind, compassionate group of lawyers/staff anywhere. They handled our stress associated with a lawsuit with professionalism and expertise. I was amazed at how the details we shared with them on day 1 were exactly the details that came out at the trial - these days, it's unusual for someone to actually listen to everything you say. Melissa Lum, Merrianne Dean, and Mona Gantos were always communicating by email, phone or zoom to keep us up to date. I'd give them 10 stars if I could."
