Melissa Neuhaus

Melissa was able to get me the best possible outcome from an incredibly difficult situation with courts in her area. She was also able to help reduce the number of times that I need to appear in court personally, which was a great help as I live out of state. Then when the courts messed up and tried to charge me a second time in error, she was able to get everything dismissed without having to go back to California all over again. I would definitely recommend Melissa for any of your court needs in Shasta County. Thanks again!

Ms. Fanoe is among the most effective and ethical defense attorneys in Shasta County. The bench respects her. The prosecution respects her. I regularly refer cases to her because I know those individuals will receive exemplary representation. Any assertions to the contrary are ill informed: anyone who is fortunate enough to have Ms. Fanoe as an attorney will receive the best defense possible.

I contacted Melissa over a speeding ticket in a neighboring county. Although she does not work on minor traffic violations in that county, she was super nice and very kind to give me advice. She listened to me attentively and understood my concerns well. She even shared her own experience with me to make me feel better! She explained to me in great detail the potential consequences and the subsequent procedure. I am very grateful to her help and advice. Thank you very much again! Giving my strongest recommendation for Melissa here!

Melissa helped me navigate a difficult time in my life. She was professional, always responded to questions and concerns promptly (always returning phone calls within a day or two), was kind and considerate, but also honest and forthcoming about what my options were at each stage. Knowledgeable and relevant (aware of new laws going into effect), she fought hard for me and tried every recourse she could to help me get the best results possible. I will be highly recommending Ms. Fanoe to friends and family in the future.
