Melanie Hughes

Paralegal

“Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.” ~ Anonymous. Empathy, a trait not coded into everyone’s DNA, is one that Melanie Hughes naturally displays each time she listens to a client from the first point of contact. While each case is different, empathy, along with listening and trustworthiness, are attributes Melanie displays to make each client feel safe and comfortable as they share details of their personal situation in a judgement-free zone.

Melanie brings eight years of experience as an organized, detail-oriented paralegal. The knowledge she’s gained over the years has created a strong foundation for the variety of areas of law and types of cases she handles alongside the attorneys as they counsel a diverse client base. Melanie answers calls from potential clients, conducts the initial interviews, and schedules consultations for the attorneys as well as answers questions for potential clients before and after their consultations. She also assists the attorneys manage their matters, which includes proofreading and formatting documents, preserving evidence for their files, drafting and finalizing documents, preparing and filing documents with the court, keeping files organized, and lending a hand wherever else is necessary. She also assists clients with removal of content from the Internet and manages some of the firm’s Digital Risk Protection clients. Lastly, she is a contributing author to the firm’s blogs used to educate potential clients about internet defamation and Minc Law.

When not in the office, Melanie enjoys raising her two young daughters and spending time with them, her husband, and their two dogs. She loves to read – aiming to read about 50 novels each year – and is a member of a book club that meets monthly. She enjoys participating in any type water sport activity including swimming, kayaking, boating, etc.

Melanie’s Client Testimonials

See What Our Clients Have To Say.

Christina was assigned to my case and Melanie, her paralegal, was excellent in doing an initial phone conversation and got things set up quickly. Both got to work fast, with results appearing within a few days. Christina was on top of it all and was always quick to reply to emails. It shook my life and made things quite difficult at first, but having Christina as my attorney helped relieve some of the anxiety. She was very professional, even though there were numerous explicit images to view and look through. She was highly professional in dealing with these images, and was never judgmental or made me feel embarrassed. I felt I had to apologize for the content she had to view, however she told me not to apologize and it was her job. Christina’s mindset was always to focus strictly on removing stolen content and restoring peace in my life. I cannot possibly write a review long enough to express my gratitude. You will be in excellent professional hands with Christina and Melanie.

Melanie was absolutely fantastic. Six years ago, someone wrote something terrible about me online and it followed me wherever I went! Jobs, relationships, etc. I finally got in touch with Minc, and Melanie was so courteous, professional, and diligent about getting the post removed. Thank God for Minc Law because I’m getting married next year, and I finally feel comfortable using my full name on my wedding announcements! Thank you, Minc!!!

I worked with Melanie and she was awesome through the whole process. I had an issue with someone posting very bad information about my company, maybe a competitor or a troll. I would highly recommend this company they really helped me out.

I highly recommend the Minc Law firm. Not only were they knowledgeable, professional and timely in resolving my matter, but they were a pleasure to work with. Dan, Darcy and Melanie thank you for everything! My only regret was not engaging the firm earlier.
