About Mechelle
Biography
Mechelle Buksar-Musgrove is a highly educated and dedicated attorney and counselor at law.
Unlike many lawyers, Mechelle has a broad working background in a non attorney capacity. Because of this she brings real world experience to the representation of clients. She worked for over three years as a teacher in the Woodbridge Township School District teaching psychology and other courses. She also worked as a paralegal with Pressler & Pressler, a Parsippany, N.J. law firm, where she learned the basics of law firm practice and litigation.
Mechelle got her start in legal advocacy working at the New Orleans Legal Advocacy Center. From there Mechelle went to Common Ground in New Orleans, LA, a non-for profit group that assisted indigent persons with legal defense. From there she went to the Orleans Public Defender's Office, where she again worked as a paralegal and intern assisting in representation of persons charged with both misdemeanors and felonies.
Locally, Mechelle has worked for the Law Office of Paul N. Mirabelli, Mayor of Mountainside, N.J., and the Honorable John F. Malone, Ret. P.J.Ch. Div., in Elizabeth, N.J., as an intern, judicial clerk, and court mediator. Her last place of employment before she opened her own practice was at Phelan, Hallinan & Schmieg, LLP in Newark, NJ.
Mechelle is an active member of the NJSBA and the Middlesex County Bar. She was a speaker at the NJSBA Annual Conference 2014 on the topic of real estate transactions.
Mechelle has litigated matters in the following courts: chancery, probate, family, tax appeal boards, landlord tenant, law division and municipal courts. Mechelle works to handle all of her cases in a professional and businesslike manner, ensuring the best possible outcome for every client.

Marijuana Charge
My son was arrested for having a small amount of marijuana in his car when pulled over by the police. Mechelle was able to get him into a probationary program where all he had to do was not smoke marijuana and his record would be expunged. Well, he failed a urine test and was brought to court again. ...
