Mello & Pickering, LLP 1055 Minnesota Avenue, San Jose, CA 95125

"I had a terrible experience with this law firm. I was looking for an attorney to represent me in my divorce so I set up a free consultation to see if this would be a good fit. I called in, they asked me a few questions, then they set up a consultation with Jessica Pellorin. I set this up on a Thursday and they couldn't see me until the following tuesday, which was fine until I got a call the night before saying Jessica had something conflicting with this appointment. So I had to wait even longer to meet and consult with her. Once I actually had a consultation with Jessica she was so rude, degrading, and made me feel as though all of my questions were a waste of time. She would talk to me as if I knew what all of this lawyer jargon means... that's what I needed her for. Jessicas long pauses and inexcusable exhales after I would ask a question about what she was trying to "explain" to me. Jessica Pellorin is so rude, made me feel worse and more stressed out than I did before the call. I am so glad this was just a consultation, because I could not imagine paying someone to treat me this way. DO NOT BOTHER with this law firm. I found a new lawyer right away that made me feel important and like I am their number one priority right from the start. Obviously this firm doesn't want the business... they are disgraceful."

"Ladies--Traci Pickering is who you want in your corner. I went through an unwanted divorce and Traci was my rock. She made herself available to me whenever I needed her and she was sympathetic but realistic. She told me the truth- the way the legal system actually works, as opposed to how it should work. I was able to mediate an appropriate settlement and move forward with my life. Traci was smart and no-nonsense but still kind and empathetic. I am SO glad I retained her services. She made the worst experience of my life a little bit easier-- I am so glad she was the attorney by my side."

"Jennifer and her whole team at Mello Pickering were amazing from day one. They were professional, caring and genuinely looked out for my best interests. Navigating a divorce can be highly charged and emotional and Jennifer made sure to keep things moving forward in a way that did not enflame an already difficult situation. Needless to say, divorce is expensive but Jennifer and her team made sure to keep things direct and to the point in order to not increase my costs. I really can't say enough good things about Jennifer and everyone at Mello Pickering for helping me through an extremely contentious divorce in the best way possible. Don't look any further if you are in need of the best family lawyer in San Jose."

"Traci is a consummate professional, lawyer and my highly trusted advisor. I've employed her since 2013 for my divorce and since then periodically with questions as they've come up. Without fail she's responsive, and I feel like she's been extremely knowledgeable about divorce and family law. In particular, I feel she's extremely reasonable and always seeks to paint both sides along with attorney's costs, so I'm fully apprised of the consequences of any action I might need to take. It's that common sense approach rather than a bull dog mentality that I feel is her particular strength. I totally recommend her."

"I had the pleasure of working with Jessica Pellerin. She was recommended to me by a mutual friend and although I worked with her a short while she was so helpful. She was timely with all my questions and made me feel safe throughout the process. She was sensitive to my sentiments and I am so thankful that I met with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking an amazing lawyer with focus on Custody/Divorce/Settlements. I also love that everyone who works in the office is a women!"
