Melody believes the best part of working in the personal injury industry is that you can help people who are feeling overwhelmed by an incident that has happened through no fault of their own. Taking the stress away from the client and allowing them to focus on their health and well-being is her top priority. Melody deeply cares about her clients as individuals. She takes the time to get to know her client’s stories through all walks of life, and what they have gone through that has led them to her. She is grateful for every opportunity she has to get to know the person behind the case that she is helping. She makes the client feel at ease and she lets them know they are surrounded by passionate and hardworking people that so deeply care about our clients as individuals and that, they are committed to do everything possible to obtain the best possible outcome on the client’s behalf.
