After working as a legal assistant and paralegal, I went to law school and graduated from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2000. The first three years of my career were spent in a small boutique insurance defense firm in the Chicago Loop, where I defended high exposure claims involving commercial lines of insurance. In 2003 I returned to the Pacific Northwest and have continued my career with Stamper Rubens, P.S. My practice focuses on litigation in all areas of employment law, including discrimination claims, trade secrets violations, and wage disputes, as well as business contractual disputes, medical malpractice, and personal injury matters.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, theater, movies, and concerts, and spending time with my family.

We are still waiti...

Professional and did a great job for us
My wife and I were involved in a hostile takeover of our company. We built it from scratch and my Mom and Dad tried to take it from us unexpectedly. While the case isn't over yet... my wife and I both agree that we couldn't have picked a better team to represent us. Melody and her team fought ...

Very Satisfied
Melody helped me settle a wage claim and got me everything that I was asking for. She bends over backwards to pull up reference materials and is very professional. I would recommend her to anyone in the Spokane area.
"I endorse this lawyer. Melody is an extremely knowledgable lawyer with amazing analytical skills and a palpable passion to advocate for her clients. I would gladly look to Melody for advice on any personal matters I might encounter, and often look to her for advice and direction on the current status of the law in her various areas of expertise."
"I endorse this lawyer. I had a case against Melody. I found her to be a great advocate for her client. She is ethical, well-prepared and very professional."
"I have worked with Melody on multiple occasions and I can say without reservation that she is a dedicated and focused litigator. She has an excellent eye for detail and always tries hard to listen intently to her clients. This allows her to offer the best and most candid advice in making recommendations on a case by case basis. I strongly recommend Melody for litigation work in the areas of employment law, contract disputes, and personal injury."
