About Melissa
Biography
If you ask me why I became an attorney, I will say, “[m]y family and friends have not always been fortunate enough to have access to quality legal services. For this reason, I feel passionately about Family Law, as well as providing the same level of professional service to my clients that I would expect for my own family and friends.” I take pride in my legal work and strongly believe in connecting with the needs of the community.

excellent
Melissa has been a joy to work with. She handled my family case very easily and was not in the least bit intimidated to fight for the best outcome. She has a very personable effect on all that work with her. She remains calm and is professional.
