About Melany

Litigation Paralegal

As a litigation paralegal, Melany Candelaria’s role is to handle everything related to  the case from filing the lawsuit to getting the case ready for trial. She has over 15 years of experience working in the medical and educational fields, so she’s an excellent resource for injured clients who don’t necessarily know what their next steps should be.

Mrs. Candelaria’s empathy and experience help clients navigate both the medical and legal systems with the care and dignity they deserve. She understands that potential clients have questions — she’ll do everything she can to get them the answers they’re looking for.

Mrs. Candelaria’s goal is to help clients close tough chapters of their lives and move on to better ones. The best reward, she thinks, is the ability to help connect people with the care they need.
