Attorney Melanie Roe understands there can be no greater degradation to one’s reputation, position and standing in a community than to be falsely accused of a crime.

In a civilized society, a false accusation of a crime may be far more hideous that the crime itself. And because the accusation is made public via a felony complaint filing, and depending on the charges, the accused often becomes stigmatized and alienated in all of his/her dealings at work, school, or in the family. In all cases, the accused must be represented by counsel who understands this and is prepared to pull out all the stops and wage battle on the accuser. 

Attorney Roe believes in, and will honor, your Constitutional right to a trial by jury and your right to confront and cross-examine your accuser. Attorney Roe attributes much of her trial success not just to her ability to expose falsehoods and inconsistencies in testimony and evidence brought by the government via the “crucible of cross-examination”, but also with her ability to connect with jurors.
