Client Testimonials
“If you work with young people, please, please, please consider having Attorney Melanie Bates come and complete her Know Your Rights presentation/training! It could literally be the difference of them walking away from a police encounter versus something more tragic. After the countless stories we’ve witnessed in recent years and the recent film, When They See Us, her training could not be more timely.”
-Dr. Antwan Perry, DC Public Schools
"My staff loved your training and thought you were 'phenomenal.' They mentioned how empowered they feel about testifying and making the voice of CFLS heard. So thank you very much."
-Ashley McSwain, Executive Director, Community Family Life Services
"It has been my pleasure to work with Melanie Bates Consulting, LLC. Melanie is the consummate professional and at the same time, a joy to work with. She provided invaluable guidance, demonstrated expertise and created the right content to support the launch of a social media advertising campaign for a civil rights litigation project near and dear to me. I highly recommend Melanie Bates Consulting, LLC."
