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.

Highly Recommmend!
My divorce went so smoothly. I never imagined it could be that easy and fast. Melanie made a very difficult situation extremely manageable and handled everything so that I could focus on what was most important...my kids and our transition. Thank you, Melanie!
Thank you for taking time to write a review. I'm very impressed with you and your co-parent's ability to be so child-focused throughout the divorce process. It was a pleasure working with you!
