Melinda is ethical, intelligent, and willing to work in a collaborative and cooperative manner. More than just a highly skilled, resourceful, tenacious attorney, she genuinely cares about her clients. Her wealth of legal knowledge and experience, dedication, and practical judgment are invaluable assets which are not often found in one advocate. Her clients consistently praise her work and return to her when they needed advice on new matters. I highly recommend her and her firm.

Melinda is an impressive attorney. She is a highly skilled litigator and advocate furthering her clients' interests aggressively while maintaining the respect of and friendly relations with opposing counsel. I have worked with her as co-counsel when income tax issues arise and find that she is a quick study, grasping the underlying principles.

Ms. Garcia helped me with a delicate personnel issue. She was professional, knowledgeable and worked with me to find the right solutions to protect me and my company. She works well with her team of paraprofessionals and ensures that the issue is resolved in a timely manner. Her attention to detail and genuine sense of humor make getting through challenging problems easier.

I was in need of urgent help with an employment matter and Melinda came through for me the same day. She fit me in for a consultation within hours of my call and read my documents prior to our meeting. She was thorough, attentive to my needs, knowledgeable, professional and above all very comforting.

I am so pleased to write this review for Tod. I was recommended to Garcia & Gurney by a friend of mine. I was in need of a lawyer and had exhausted all viable lawfirms that were on my list. I'm so happy to have found Tod. He was exactly what I was looking for and needed. He was so kind, thorough and patient with me. Having never been in a situation such as this, I did not know what to expect. Tod and his teams meticulous preparation enabled me to move forward with my suit with confidence and certainty. The result was more than I had expected and I am thrilled. I would recommend Tod and his firm to those who are unfortunate enough to be in this situation. He truly cares, knows the law and will get you the help you need.

Melinda was wonderful to work with. She is an outstanding listener and has a great memory for details and personal information....which makes one feel very comfortable and welcome. I would highly recommend her to anyone not only because of her outstanding abilities but because of the compassion she eludes in dealing with an individual's issues/concerns.

Melinda provided me excellent advice in resolving an employment agreement related to an acquisition of the company I worked for. She is very knowledgeable, asked me what I wanted to achieve with her services, provided excellent service to achieve those goals, and was very cognizant of fees. I recommend her for employment related services.
