Melissa and her staff were wonderful and were worth every dollar. They took on my case which alleviated my stress and I was 100% satisfied with my outcome.
Christopher Niznik
Overall very good experience
My experience with Melissa and her staff was overall very good. I live out of state and therefore communication was mostly via phone and email. I didn't find this to be a complicated process, nor did I think that I wasn't getting the same service that I would have, had I been local. Both Melissa and her staff were very prompt in answering both calls and emails. Responses were always clear and easily understood.
I would describe my case as a bit 'different' and feel that Melissa provided me with good, accurate information that allowed me to understand the laws in Pennsylvania. Family issues can be emotional, yet the Taybron team is very good at understanding and being empathetic toward the situation. It allowed me to feel comfortable, knowing my issue was being worked, particularly living 600 miles away :)
I'm more than satisfied with the Taybron Law Firm and would seek their assistance, if needed, in the future.

Compassionate and Respectful Approach
I recently had the pleasure of working with Melissa from the Taybron Law Firm to draft an agreement, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From my first consultation, Melissa was professional, approachable, and highly knowledgeable. Melissa took the time to understand my specific needs and concerns. She explained all the legal aspects in a way that was easy to understand and guided me through the process with confidence. Her attention to detail and thoroughness in preparing the document were impressive, ensuring that all assets and interests were clearly protected. What stood out most was Melissa’s ability to make what can often be a complex and sensitive topic feel manageable and stress-free. Her approach was compassionate and respectful, making sure that I felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone in need of legal assistance with family law matters.

Children's preferences may be considered by the court, depending on their age and maturity level. While a child's opinion is taken into account, it is not the sole factor in deciding custody. The court prioritizes the child's best interests above all when making decisions.
What is child custody?
Child custody refers to the legal terms set by the court to decide who is responsible for the care and decision-making of a child after a divorce or separation. It can include physical custody, which is where the child lives, and legal custody, which involves decision-making rights about the child's welfare, education, and health.
What if a parent violates the custody order?
If a parent violates a custody order, the other parent can contact the court to report the violation. The court may enforce the order through legal means, including sanctions or modifications of custody arrangements. It is best to document violations and seek legal counsel to address these issues properly.
What are parenting plans?
Parenting plans are detailed agreements between parents outlining how they will raise their child post-separation. This includes scheduling, decision-making, and dispute resolution methods. A well-crafted plan helps ensure both parents are engaged in the child's life and can help minimize conflicts.
