Melissa Jean Hessler

I started my legal career as a paralegal in a personal injury law firm while attending law school in the evenings. I have practiced personal injury law for 18 years and, while I have practiced briefly in other areas of law, I always come back to personal injury law. When I ask myself why, the answer is clear. For me, the law is all about representing people. Individuals who have been injured and are trying to heal themselves and move on to the best of their ability. People who find themselves overwhelmed by insurance companies and paperwork asking: doesn't the insurance company know better than I do what my case is worth? Should I just accept what the insurance company is offering and move on? What if I need future medical care? Who is going to pay for it and take care of me? If you are asking yourself these questions you deserve someone who can provide honest answers - someone who has your best interest in mind. I represent individuals and their families and it is their spirit and hope that keep me in the business of practicing personal injury law.
