The Law Offices of Melissa J. Lyons, Inc. are proud to be a recipient of the 2026 Clients’ Choice Award from Avvo. It’s always wonderful to receive recognition, and this award is extra special because the recognition comes from our clients. It means a lot to know we make a difference in people’s lives in challenging times.

What Is Avvo?

Avvo is an online directory which provides detailed profiles for over 97% of licensed U.S. attorneys. The name is a play on the Italian word for lawyer, “avvocato.” The site allows anyone to search for attorneys in their area who practice in different areas of law. Avvo ratings are created from public records, including state bars, regulatory agencies, and courts, as well as the information attorneys share on our own profiles.

What Does The Avvo Clients’ Choice Award Mean?

The Clients’ Choice Award is special because it comes from feedback our clients provide to Avvo. This award gives recognition for consistently outstanding client feedback on an annual basis. This means the work we do matters to our clients. We’re incredibly proud and grateful to have so many of our clients give us 5 star ratings on Avvo.

This award is particularly meaningful because of Melissa Lyons’ journey in the Workers’ Compensation system started when she was 11 years old.  Melissa’s mother herniated a disc in her low back while performing her job duties at work. This injury resulted in 5 lumbar spine surgeries.  It was a stressful and very scary time for Melissa and her family.  Temporary disability checks didn’t always come on time.  This experience is why helping clients face difficult Workers’ Compensation challenges is so personal.
