Biography
Melanie attended Skidmore College, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. Melanie decided to follow in her father's footsteps and attend law school. She graduated from the University of Baltimore School of Law, joined her father's firm in the spring of 1996, and has been practicing law as a partner with Mike since that time.
Melanie believes that preparation and dedication to the representation of the firm's clients' interests are the cornerstones of the practice.
"We evaluate and prepare a case carefully and try to help clients avoid a lawsuit if possible since that is not always the best resolution of a client's problems. But when all else fails, we are ready and able to try or to arbitrate a case. We know how to do that well to achieve a favorable result for our clients."
