"I have a successful consulting business in the Pharma space. I initially hired Melinda to help me structure my multinational and multi state workforce, but I saw she was capable and so knowledgeable in so many other areas for my business. I use her to review new agreements but also to manage my work force. As a result, my company has been consistently growing without issue and I appreciate it."

"I am the CEO of a group of multi-state and international companies. My group of companies has used attorney, Melinda Garcia, for more than 15 years. We are in the technology and logistics space. Melinda has handled our corporate entities, working with our accountants, managing and planning our workforce as well as executive compensation (terminations too), and as a result, we have grown a great deal as a company. I tried to get her come in-house a few years back but she loves her practice and clients and it shows. I highly recommend her for organizations looking to grow and thrive."
