About Melody
Biography
I am a managing partner at Avrek Law Firm and have dedicated my career to serving as a personal injury trial attorney. From an early age, I was drawn to debate, advocacy, and leadership—interests that naturally led me to the practice of law. While attending UCLA, I served as President of the Political Science Club and competed on the Model United Nations team, experiences that strengthened my abilities in public speaking, research, and analytical thinking. I earned my Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law in San Diego, completing the traditional three-year program in two years. Since my admission to the California Bar in 2010, I have focused exclusively on personal injury law, where I am committed to giving a voice to those harmed by negligence.
Throughout my career, I have secured significant recoveries for my clients, including some of the largest settlements in California history. These results include a $45 million settlement for a severely injured minor, a $42.75 million recovery for a traumatic brain injury caused by improper U-Haul maintenance, and a $27 million settlement for a motorcyclist that exceeded the applicable policy limits. My work in complex, high-value cases has led to national recognition, including Top 40 Under 40 Trial Attorneys, Top 25 Woman Trial Attorneys in California, Top 100 Trial Attorneys in the Nation by The National Trial Lawyers, and ten consecutive years of recognition by Super Lawyers from 2016 through 2025.
I have also been recognized by the United States Department of Defense as a Patriotic Employer for contributing to national security and protecting liberty. I am an active member of the California Applicants Attorneys Association, Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, the American Association for Justice, and the Million and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. I am proud to have contributed to Avrek Law’s recovery of more than $2 billion for injured clients.
Outside of my practice, I enjoy traveling, staying active through fitness, yoga, and hiking, and exploring my passion for food and cooking. I remain engaged in politics and current events, which informs my perspective as an advocate. My commitment to fairness—especially when representing children and families—drives my work. Practicing alongside my mother, sisters, nieces, and close friends strengthen my sense of responsibility, while my husband, our two children, and our dogs, remind me every day why protecting and supporting my clients as if they were my own is important to me.
Melody Parman is a managing partner at Avrek Law Firm and a nationally recognized trial attorney. With record-setting settlements and a decade of Super Lawyers honors, she advocates relentlessly for children and families harmed by negligence.

THANK YOU AVREK LAW FIRM!!!
I am very grateful for Avrek Law Firm's attorneys and staff. I was involved in a car accident as a passenger and was pretty badly injured. I've never once in my life been involved in something like that before. I was lucky enough to have found them and they were not only friendly and caring but were...

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!
I hired M. Parman of Avrek Law for my personal injury case. All I got from her was just a settlement letter from the insurance that her and staff keep calling me to sign. I never ask for settlement when I'm still in doctor's care and therapy. I just recently had a spinal cord surgery after I replace ...
Melody Parman
Replied last October 04, 2019Good Afternoon Gil, As you know, you were represented by another attorney to handle your workers compensation case that was completely unrelated to our firm. That attorney was responsible to oversee your medical treatment. We explained to you that all of your treatment including your spinal surgery would be covered by the workers compensation claim (which we did not represent you for). We were able to obtain a settlement on your behalf from a completely different party for the MAXIMUM policy limit (the maximum the could offer) quickly due to our aggressiveness and our diligence. You did not want to accept the settlement and found another attorney to represent you in our case. Interestingly, you settled over 2 years later for the same settlement amount we originally obtained for you (because again it was always the maximum they could offer). The new attorney you obtained was unable to negotiate a higher settlement offer and received the same offer that our office received our your behalf 2 years prior, basically delaying your claim for 2 years plus. At any rate, we hope that you are now satisfied with the outcome of your cases and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
