MELISSA LEMOINE

With a passion for justice and a love to help others that reaches as far back as she can remember, Melissa always knew she would one day become a lawyer. Inspired by the words of Solomon shortly before being sworn in, Melissa’s passion became fueled by her faith:

“Open your mouth for the mute, For the rights of all who are unfortunate and defenseless; Open your mouth, judge righteously, And administer justice for the afflicted and needy.”  Prov. 31:8-9
