Stewart Melvin & Frost, LLP Attorneys at Law

My husband and I had procrastinated for years to update our will and estate plans. We met with Anna Orkins, an attorney in the firm. Her expertise in this area of law was excellent. She was very professional and was able to answer the numerous questions we needed to ask. The process was easier than we anticipated. Anna is professional, knowledgeable and made us always feel assured of the decisions we had to make. We would highly recommend Anna and the firm.

We needed to have our wills revised and selected a firm close to our Gainesville home, Stewart Melvin & Frost. Making an appointment was quick and easy, the office is conveniently located by the city square and parking is free. Anna Orkins handled our affairs in a professional, friendly manner. It’s easy to see that she’s focused on client service. The process couldn’t have been smoother and the fee was fair. SMF is an established firm in Hall County but they have none of the stodgy attitude encountered in other partnerships. You will be very pleased if you select them to handle your legal affairs.

This was my first experience with the court system with probate. What a tough system to navigate through but I had a fantastic lawyer to help me each step of the way. Eric Wilborn was so friendly, personal and helped me not to panic when I did not understand. I highly recommend Eric to be your lawyer. Thank you Eric for helping me get through all of it!

We were referred by a friend to Stewart Melvin and Frost following an automobile accident involving my husband. From the beginning, we worked with Mark, Andrew and Carleigh, who met our every need, answered every question and truly went above and beyond dealing with situations that were not expected of an attorney - client relationship. You expect a level of professionalism when seeking these services, which we definitely received. But we were also treated like family, with a small town, hometown feel I didn’t expect. They worked tirelessly for us, all the while allowing us to call the shots and making sure we were educated at every step of the way. They have a well respected reputation in our community and it is more than earned. Our little family is forever grateful and would never think twice about referring anyone in need to this firm. Great job!

I was pleased with the outcome of my late husbands will. Brook was upfront with me from the beginning, she kept me updated on the progress and steps she was taking. Thank you very much.

I met Brooke because she handled my Mom's will. When my Mom was in hospice she came to the house to make an adjustment my mom was wanting. Brooke and her team were very helpful from start to finish. Their insight and knowledge took a huge stress off of me. I would not hesitate in recommending Brooke.

Our Personal Injury Team at SMF is EXCEPTIONAL. Andrew Gould and Mark Alexander and the rest of the team have a personal touch that was an unexpected bonus to their professional approach to our claim. I HIGHLY recommend them for anyone who would like to be treated with respect and understanding while also receiving professional and meticulous representation. I cannot thank them enough for helping our family. We are forever grateful to them.

I am VERY PLEASED with the outcome of the results from this firm that represented my family. Mr Andrew did an excellent job in every area possible and i couldn't thank him more. He was profession but also down to a friendship level with me. Always kept me inform, gave me options, and best opinions and not to mention the case went fairly quick. If your looking for help this would be the place to go.
Thanks again Andrew.

My family and I were in a pretty severe car wreck the middle of 2020. We have never had to hire an attorney or thought we would ever have to. As crazy as 2020 was going, I thought we were looking at a long, stressful nightmare. Because of the severity of the wreck, and suggestion from a friend, we decided to call Mark and Andrew. It was the BEST DECISION!! They are AMAZING! We handed everything over to them immediately and they took care of EVERYTHING! Rhonda, their paralegal, was SO incredibly helpful! Rhonda stayed on top of everything and kept us informed through the whole process. We never had to call or receive any phone calls from the insurance companies, hospital, or doctors offices. Mark, Andrew, and Rhonda worked so diligently to get our case taken care of quickly and come to an agreeable settlement. I can not speak highly enough of them. They made this process so smooth and stress free for me and my family. It was nice having them working hard for us so we could just focus on healing and getting better. They are friendly, honest, knowledgeable and dedicated. Hopefully no one has to ever go through this, but if you do, making a choice to call Mark, Andrew and Rhonda will be an absolute best decision! ❤

I reached out to Andrew and his colleagues after a bad car accident left me in the hospital and subsequent in-patient rehabilitation. His team's attentiveness and professionalism were unmatched. He and Rhonda checked-in regularly, paid visits to me and answered any questions I might have had with haste; all so I could focus on healing. This group is trustworthy, knowledgeable and caring. I would recommend Stewart, Melvin & Frost to anyone seeking honest and thorough representation. Thank you so much !!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Anna Orkins on getting all of our estate planning in order. She was very courteous, professional, and easy to talk to. She did a great job explaining everything in a way that we could understand. We would recommend Anna to anyone who needs estate planning!

Rhonda, Mark and Andrew went ABOVE AND BEYOND! I was involved in a motor vehicle accident which was very painstaking. I was worried about what was going to happen, and thats when I meet these guys. They made the whole insurance claim process seamless! Let me tell you about, Rhonda. She was always taking action to ensure I was being taken care of! Mark and Andrew acted like Batman and Robin when putting my case together. This team is unstoppable! When looking for the right representation look no further! Well done guys. Thank you for exceeding expectations and making sure I was protected.

Mark Alexander, Andrew Gould, and Rhonda Parson are a Super team. They resolved my accident issues with all professionalism, concern and understanding for my thoughts, and their own hard work and dedication to the end. I am impressed with their honesty, integrity, and understanding of complicated legal issues. I rated their team 5 stars because there are not 6 stars. I think they are the best.

I was referred to Stewart, Melvin and Frost by a friend. I was injured in a car accident in which I had no experience in dealing with insurance companies or anything of this nature. I was completely at a loss of what to do. They took my case and communicated with me throughout the whole process. Rhonda Parson and the personal injury team were incredible. They informed me of next steps and educated me about the whole process. I felt they actually cared about me and my family. I highly recommend this law firm.

Rhonda Parson and the PI Trail team are absolutely amazing, my daughter was rear ended in a school zone. Rhonda worked so hard to make sure all of the hospital bills were taking care of and to make sure she walk away with a compensation.
We will always be grateful for the work and hours that this team put into her case.
I would highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely use them again if ever needed.

Stewart, Melvin, & Frost has been my go to law firm for a long time. They’ve drawn up my Will, closed real estate transactions, and helped my family settle a loved one’s estate. This time I had a small, but specific need and I was directed to Andrew Gould. He was outstanding. He listened to my problem, immediately outlined the solution he was going to pursue, and through his numerous contacts, resolved my problem beyond my expectations. I found him, professional, concerned and personable. Needless to say, if needed, I will call on him and the firm again for all my legal needs.

I attended many meetings at Brook’s firm with a close friend who was in need of her services. From the first meeting it was clear Brook was going to fight for him. Now, as I write this a year later, his case has happily been resolved. I believe Brook took necessary steps to ensure a positive outcome. I would also like to emphasize the kindness she bestowed upon her client. In his own words, “I could not have asked for a better lawyer.”

Just wanted to say I had a great personal injury team working for me at SMF. Specifically Mark Alexander and his group - Rhonda and Andrew. I was in a car accident in January and they did an amazing job on my case. Couldn't be happier with the results, my expectations were exceeded. Thanks Team!

I contacted Andrew Gould and Mark Alexander after a personal injury and regarding a product liability lawsuit. Andrew and Mark walked me through the entire legal process; handling each aspect of my case with complete transparency and professionalism. They were meticulous with each "next step", providing insight, preparation and planning. (Inclusive of Mock Jury Trials)
I'd simply state that if I am ever in need of similar legal representation again... Andrew Gould is set up on my speed dial!
Thank you both for successfully navigating legal recourse from my injury and providing the closure I needed.

Anna Orkin and her team of professionals helped me and my wife with estate planning and they were great! The whole experience from start to finish was very pleasant and Anna thoroughly answered our numerous questions. I can’t recommend her enough.
