About Melissa
Biography
Dealing with an arrest or a criminal charge can be terrifying. As a criminal defense attorney, I help people who are struggling with the worst time of their lives. It is my job to help people understand their options, help them make informed decisions, and then zealously fight for their interests.
For me criminal defense is more than going to court and making legal arguments, it is helping people solve problems. When clients come to me with a problem, what matters most is my client’s goals. For some, getting a dismissal or a not guilty verdict is the only option. For others, making the problem go away as quickly and quietly as possible is more important. I make it a priority to understand my client’s goals and values and fight to help them reach a desired outcome. I understand that my client’s life is more than just their legal problems. In most cases, a person’s legal issue affects other areas of their lives including family relationships and work. As your attorney, I will not only help you navigate the legal system but I will give you guidance and support to bring normalcy back to your life.

I am a Teamsters local 25 member and was connected with Attorney Melissa Tobin through my union. I had a harassment order filed against me by someone I have never met. It was such a short notice my hearing was a week away. She was super easy to communicate with. She gathered all the information I had...
