Melissa Fries is passionate about Family Law, having experienced it first-hand. As the divorced mother of seven children Melissa Fries knows what families experience when going through a divorce. Through her own divorce, she gained sole custody of her children, moved into a small house, worked on her law degree, and kept her children engaged in multiple schools and extra-curricular activities. When it comes to family law, she has walked the talk.

When Melissa is not advocating for her clients, she is spending time with her husband and family.

Melissa also has a substantial Harry Potter collection and loves remodeling houses.
