    Melissa is an absolute warrior
    I cannot recommend Melissa and the Mayes Telles Law Firm highly enough! As someone who has never been in trouble a day in my life, I was suddenly thrust into a nightmarish situation involving an extremely abusive ex and his mother. It was a long and grueling battle, but Melissa truly did the impossible. She secured an outcome for me that I never could have achieved on my own. This incredible result is not only a massive relief in itself, but it also significantly helps me in my ongoing custody battle with my ex, paving the way for the justice my children and I deserve. Melissa is an absolute warrior; she will fight for you until the very end and achieve far more than you thought possible. If you ever find yourself in need of legal representation— and I sincerely hope you don’t— Mayes Telles Law Firm is THE place to go. You are truly blessed if you have Melissa on your team!

    Chris saved my freedom
    I had a case out of Mesa 6-4-2025. Chris Culbert was my attorney. I only had to appear in court once. The prosecuting attorney refused to drop the violations, thinking he had a slam dunk case with me. I'm a multi-time convicted felon currently on probation for DV and was fighting two violations (both assaultive related) with egregious claims written in statements against me. The 'victim' took the stand and lied under oath; Chris easily caught them up in their story multiple times, asking maybe a total of 4 questions. He was great with objecting to the prosecutor's questions as he (Asst. Pros. Austin Brooks) was trying to lead me into a 'soft admission,' attempting to force out only yes or no answers. I would gladly (though I hope to never have to) deal with Chris specifically after seeing how his methods are firsthand. Chris, thanks again for helping save my freedom, my job, and my family.
    Giovanni Bonanni
    He fought for my family's future
    Mr. Hamel didn’t just fight for me—he fought for my family’s future. His support got us through the hardest time of our lives. Because of him, I’m home with my kids, where I belong. We’ll never forget what he did for us.

    Spectacular Attorney
    The best decision I have ever made was going to MayesTelles PLLC. I initially started with Nicole Lopez who is exceptionally amazing, but family circumstances placed me in the hands of Melanie Laboy. Melanie handled my case exceptionally professional and she is by far a spectacular attorney. The knowledge she will bring to your case, her honesty and integrity say it all! Thank you Melanie for the first step in helping us restore our home!!
    Joanna Deltoro
    Melissa Fought Hard for Me
    Was charged with DV due to a mental breakdown. My first plea was ridiculous and would have resulted in me going to jail and losing my job. Melissa Baugh fought hard to have the jail time removed from the plea and stated they can help me get my record sealed after a specific amount of time. Melissa was prompt whenever I tried to reach her, and her paralegal, Jose, was also great at keeping me informed of their progress.

    Best Family Law Attorney in Town
    I would like to appreciate one of the most effective and critical attorney offices in the whole entire town. Mayes Law (Edward and Austin) is the best family law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Anyone looking for the best knowledgeable attorney at a great price, then go to Mayes. I promise you will never go wrong with them. I was shocked by the price I was charged. It was below just decent. They have multiple lawyers who are experts in everything. Wow. Thank you so much Mr. Austin, thank you so much Ms. Jeannine Hicks. You are unbelievably awesome in your work. I didn’t know how good you are until I saw you in the field. You will be my life attorney for everything. Again, thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to your job.

    Excellence Deserves Recognition
    Obviously, it is not desirable to have my name associated with a criminal defense attorney. However, excellence deserves recognition. I was falsely accused of a serious domestic violence incident by a mentally unstable individual and the prosecution dismissed the case in less than 40 days. Chance East and Noemi Diaz were consummate professionals every second. It was their understanding, patience, empathy, and MOST IMPORTANTLY competence that led to the correct outcome.
    James Stevenson
    This law firm is top-notch
    I hired two attorneys recently for a first-time arrest. Three misdemeanors for harassment. They took me for 30k and told me nothing. I had no idea I had a plea deal on the table three months ago. I had no idea these charges were filed under domestic violence. I had one 20-minute conversation with Toby at Mayes & Telles, he educated me more on my case than the two previous attorneys combined. This law firm is top-notch. They care, they listen, and they respond. I only wish I had known their name earlier. I pray I don’t need another criminal attorney, but if I do, this group will be the one. Solid people, thank you Toby!! James Carter
    James Carter
    Professional, Caring, and Sympathetic
    I was in a pretty tense and tough situation over these past few months. Fortunately for me, my lawyer was professional, caring, and sympathetic to the very delicate and traumatic situation I found myself in. Thank you, MayesTelles, and keep up the good work. <3

    They Went Above and Beyond
    My son was in a motorcycle accident, and Mayes & Telles Law Firm were absolutely amazing. They have represented us before, and once again they went above and beyond. Daniel, who helped us with a previous case, personally checked on us and even met with us knowing that my son and I were already familiar and comfortable with him. This law firm truly cares about their clients, not just the cases. A big shout-out to Daniel for being so kind, supportive, and for helping ease my son’s nerves during such a stressful time.

    Everybody is nice to me, very professional.
    Everybody is nice to me, very professional. The Jason Harris firm dropped my case because there’s no money in my case. Harris said, how am I going to pay him if there’s no money, but Mayes Telles Firm offered their services and is willing to help in any way they can. I will recommend Mayes Telles Law Firm to all the people I know that might need their services. Thank you so much for accepting my case.
