"In touch, realistic and interested We hired Melody to advise on our proptech startup and review our own documentation and we have been delighted with the realistic professionalism with which she tackled the assignment. She is very practical in her approach, rather than litigious, and avoids overly legalistic wording wherever possible. This has provided us with a refreshing understanding of otherwise complex issues. Additionally, Melody's understanding of real estate and real estate brokerage issues has been a huge advantage to us and we are pleased to have Melody as our attorney."
