Melissa now focuses her representation on personal injury negligence claims and criminal defense matters.  Melissa particularly enjoys helping those who have suffered serious injuries from  car, bicycle, and crosswalk injuries.  She is also exceptional in her representation of those charged with all manner of criminal offenses.  Melissa strives to fully understand a client’s case and story.  She works tirelessly with prosecutors to negotiate the best possible results for clients. When negotiations fail, or trial is otherwise necessary, Melissa is known for being a highly skilled advocate who strikes to the heart of issues for her clients.  Melissa is exceptionally well qualified in all aspects of criminal defense, but is particularly sought out in driving offenses and assault charges.

Three Former Deputy Prosecutors. Decades of Experience. Results for Satisfied Clients. 

Clients come first.  Every case we handle is a priority for you and for us.  Each matter gets a full personal case analysis by an experienced lawyer and is often handled start to finish by that same attorney.  Most cases are round tabled between the lawyers when difficult events arise. We recognize that the firm together conquers more challenges than each lawyer alone, no matter how skilled each individual is.  That is why we also contract, when needed for the best private investigation and expert witnesses available for our clients.
