About
I took a brief hiatus from private practice to be Investigations Counsel for the United States Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. After rejoining the private sector I arbitrated a copyright dispute to a $4.9 million dollar judgment for my client (a Fortune 500 company).

Client Reviews
"I had a case against a multi-national telecommunications firm. It was Melvin's work that was critical to a eight figure settlement. It would not have happened without him."
"Melvin assisted me with a claim related to the British Petroleum oil spill that occurred in 2010. He was very informed on the process and able to advise me capably. He was communicative at every step and saw the claim through until I received payment. Furthermore, he has continued to maintain a client relationship ever since. Melvin is professional and trustworthy. I would recommend him unreservedly."
