To name a few, Melissa became an attorney and also became fluent in English and Spanish, besides her native language Portuguese.<\/p><p>Melissa earned her Bachelor\u2019s degree in Legal Studies from Nova Southeastern University, and decided to attend Law School due to the difficulties she encountered while trying to find a trustworthy Immigration attorney when she first moved to the United States along with her family.

While in law school she worked as a legal assistant in a firm that handled Immigration cases, and during her last semester of law school, she interned at the University\u2019s Family Law Clinic handling all types of complex Family Law disputes.<\/p><p>In 2016, Melissa decided to open her own practice to closely assist families going through family disputes.
