  Mel is very family-oriented and ethical. He is always thorough and pays attention to the smallest details. I am very please with the way he handled my case. Marie, his paralegal, is wonderful. She always kept me updated and is very good at keeping everybody informed and in the loop. I truly believe that Mel and his team are tops and would retain him again in a heartbeat.

  Mel Coxwell is brilliant!! He is well aware of the MS law, and it was my fault not to choose him As first attorney. Mel worked with mistakes I had made. But We were granted no delay, as we had hoped , since he was a new attorney on the case. We settled the case just prior to court . However , I felt prepared for trial if necessary. Mel worked with what information he had, and Marie was the most supportered person everrr. I can't say enough about those two!! Always had answers for my random questions. Mel was confident, honest , brutal with truth when I needed to hear it but also worked with me on conference calling , so I could continue working and meeting with him. My family from Meridian, my friends, will forever more respect the knowledgeable , as I will, of Mel Coxwell. I pray nothing else comes up in my situation, but if It does, I will come Immediately to the knowledgeable Mel coxwell. As will my friends of Brandon!! Thanks again , MEL! You rock!!

  I hired Mr. Coxwell for my child custody case, and I have nothing but great things to say. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable, the price was affordable and fixed rather than billed by the hour, and Mr. Coxwell ended up achieving the end goal that I was hoping for. I made the right decision by putting my faith in Mr. Coxwell and his team.

  I highly recommend Mel for anyone who wants an honest, straightforward attorney. I knew the moment I met him that I could trust him. He and his paralegal, Marie, handled my divorce very professionally and always returned my phone calls promptly. They were extremely patient with me even when I had to ask the same questions multiple times. Both Mel and Marie were very attentive to my hearing impairment and need to read lips, Mel Coxwell is top notch in my book!!

  He is so rude and unprofessional. Like chill dude I'm not your opposing team. This old man is likely a man's activist cuz I don't know truly what he was so mad about, he was rude from the beginning. Maybe he was having a bad day or maybe that's just his terrible personality. I was nothing but kind to him even though I'm going through the toughest thing in my life a divorce AND a custody battle and he's such a jerk in the most vulnerable time someone can go through. I'm upset that I wasted PTO over being treated badly and I paid $250 for a consult where I felt unsafe, belittled, and he kept interrupting me and getting mad when I was writing notes on my phone. Sorry but not everyone carries a notebook and pencil around anymore, it's not 1961 anymore. He will be like "are you gonna let me finish". And he would do a deep sigh everytime I was writing notes in my phone about our consultation like I don't have a super memory, I even told him I'm writing notes. Like wow I wouldn't trust this guy at all with anything. He didn't answer most of my questions during the consultation and refused to answer further questions for my case unless if I hired him, yeah never. Oh and his office reeks of cigarettes. I decided to pay $8k to go with R+E, they are more expensive than Mel but I understand why. Anyways R+E were so kind and empathetic with my situation and they are doing everything they can to fight for me.
