More Than 21 Years Of Valuable Legal Experience
My legal career has prepared me to see family law cases from all sides. As an experienced attorney, I have handled hundreds of cases ranging from divorce and child custody to paternity and modifications. I have been there before. I know what works and what doesn't.
As a pro tem judge, I have presided over legal disputes involving many of these same issues that you might be facing.
My experience as a police officer and prosecutor gives me a big-picture perspective on sensitive issues involving domestic abuse and orders of protection.

I highly recommend Malanie as a divorce attorney. From the very beginning, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and genuine care for my situation during what was an extremely difficult and emotional time. Malanie was always well prepared, responsive, and clear in her...
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Your case was unique, and I really appreciated your willingness to work with your co-parent in a tough situation.

Melanie is wonderful to work with. She is great at explaining the process, she took her time to walk me through everything, she gave me her opinion on how to proceed but was not pushy about it. She is also great at communicating and keeping you in the loop-made a very difficult time very easy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It was my pleasure to work for you.

Melanie was awesome. Very thorough and answered all of my questions throughout the long court process. She was supportive and never let me feel bad about the situation I was in. Sometimes it can take a while for her to email back, but overall, great experience.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! You were very easy to assist and I appreciate your reasonableness throughout the situation.

I had the privilege of working with Melanie on a challenging civil family law matter, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and compassionate approach. From day one, she provided clarity and reassurance. She took the time to listen and understand my concerns, making sure I felt supported....
Thank you so much for such a great review! Your case is one of the most challenging cases I've had, especially coming in so late in the process. I truly wish you the best and hope you get some well deserved peace.

I had the opportunity/privilege of watching Melanie in trial over a highly contested custody case. She was very aware of all the history of the case (she came on later on in the matter) and the current situation. She knew her facts and was able to present her case in a manner that 100% benefited her...
Thank you so much for the review! That was an interesting trial to say the least...
"Melanie is a very diligent and thoughtful family lawyer. She has the ability to navigate complex matters with skill and tact. She knows when to be firm and when to take a more relaxed approach, so as to not inflame an already emotional situation."
"Melanie is an excellent attorney. Her attention to detail and proven litigation skills provide her clients with superior results. She is savvy. She enjoys a great reputation with both judges and fellow attorneys. I recommend Melanie without reservation. I endorse this lawyer."
