About Melanie Eyre

I have litigated complex civil cases for over thirty years in state and federal courts around the country. My experience in civil matters includes personal injury, products liability, insurance defense,  and commercial/business matters. I also represent clients in family law cases involving issues of divorce, custody, and child support, and assist clients with wills, powers of attorney, and related estate planning needs.

I'm a Navy veteran, and am proud of the time I dedicated to serving my country. I bring the same attitude of service and hard work to my work for clients now. 

I look forward to assisting you with your case!
