About

I am a West Michigan native, and was raised in the Greater Grand Rapids area.  I chose to become a lawyer so I can help people understand and navigate through the legal system.  I am passionate about fighting vigorously for my client’s best interests.  I am honored to be serving my local community.

While pursuing my law degree, I worked in the areas of family law and criminal law.  While furthering my education, I participated in Trial Advocacy and Moot Court.  This experience gave me a working knowledge of advocating on behalf of my clients in the Courtroom.

For the past several years prior to joining the MI Family Law Group, I had been working at a small Grand Rapids law firm where I have been primarily handling family law cases.

When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, two kids, and two chihuahuas.  I also enjoy running marathons, reading and going to the beach.

    I had the pleasure of having Melinda as a lawyer. She was very caring and supportive. She and John assisted me in my divorce and I couldn't be more happy with them or the outcome.

    "She Truly Cares"
    If you want an attorney who makes you feel like they are more interested in fighting for the rights of children rather than expanding their pocketbooks, I highly recommend my attorney Kristen Wolfram.
