About Melanie
Biography
Melanie joined the legal profession to help give a voice to those who cannot articulate their rights and assist those who were unaware of the steps to take to protect their rights. Her goal is to represent you zealously, assist you in obtaining your objective and fight for your rights. Melanie understands that facing a legal issue can be a very emotionally draining experience and wants to assist you in attacking your legal issue.
Melanie was born in the Bronx, New York. After graduating from Cardinal Spellman High School, she attended Colgate University in Hamilton, New York where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy. Before attending law school, Melanie worked for a real estate law firm in White Plains, New York. She then went on to pursue her Juris Doctorate at Barry University School of Law in Orlando, Florida. Immediately after completing law school, Melanie was admitted to the Florida Bar. Upon being admitted to the Florida Bar, Melanie worked for a private law firm practicing in many areas of law and worked her way from being an associate attorney to lead attorney who trained many new attorneys at the firm. In November 2014, Melanie and her business partner, Ryan Ghantous, formed Ghantous & Branch, PLLC in Orlando, Florida. She practices in many areas of law including Foreclosure Defense, Consumer Law, Commercial Law, Bankruptcy, Personal Injury, Landlord Tenant Law, Asset Protection, Appellate Work, and Civil Litigation.
On a personal note, Melanie was drafting letters to the NBA Commissioner arguing the injustices she saw on the screen at ten years old, while other girls her age were playing with nail polish and braiding their hair. Clearly, for Melanie fighting for the right cause is not just a job but a way of life, ask any of her loved ones.
