Melendez Law Philosophy
It should be easy for accident victims to get answers and help. Our focus is to assist our clients and their families with the life changing effects of personal injury and disability.
We want our clients to tell us about their needs when facing the effects and consequences of personal injury. We do not and never will represent insurance companies, preferring instead to assist injured people with their personal injury claims.
Why Melendez Law?
When you call our office, you can expect knowledgeable counsel and real-world help. We use plain English, breaking down the legal terminology and ensuring that we answer all of your questions satisfactorily. We understand the personal impact of your injuries and the importance of your personal injury case.
At Melendez Law, P.C., we take every case seriously.
“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”

If you have been injured in a car accident, protect your rights by taking the proper steps:
Document and photograph everything. Keep copies of important records and reports. Take photos of your injuries and the scene of the accident. Write down the names and phone numbers of eyewitnesses and all other individuals involved.
Protect your case by guarding what you say about it. Don't discuss the case extensively with friends and coworkers, and definitely do not admit or accept blame at any time. The less you say about your case, the better your chances of an equitable outcome.
Speak with a knowledgeable car accident lawyer. Receive individual counsel and help from a seasoned professional as soon as possible. It is important that you receive the advice you need to make informed decisions and to move forward if possible.

While you can, technically, represent yourself, doing so is not recommended. You have a lot at stake. If you win, it could make all of the difference in you being able to receive the medical care you need, easing your financial concerns so you can focus on making a full recovery. With your future on the line, you owe it to yourself to retain the best possible representation from a superior personal injury attorney who can fight for you and take care of the legal details that matter.
