Melissa is quickly developing a reputation for being fearless in the courtroom. She recently obtained a $660,000 jury verdict in Gloucester County which was the 35th largest verdict in the State of New Jersey and was over 100 times the defendant’s offer. Melissa also recently obtained jury verdicts of $120,000 and $133,000 in car crash cases stemming from neck and back injuries sustained in car crashes. Each verdict far exceeded the defendants’ offers made before the trial. She recently argued and won an appeal before the New Jersey Supreme Court on behalf of the American Association of Justice in order to protect and preserve the rights of New Jersey citizens bitten by vicious dogs. The case was published and is now the established law in New Jersey for dog bite cases.

In 2018, Melissa was elected to serve on the Board of Trustees for The Trial Attorneys of New Jersey, a statewide association of trial attorneys whose mission is to promote the litigation interests of the public, the bench, and the bar while protecting access to the civil justice system.
