About Melinda Gomez

I have devoted my career to family law and has advocated for clients ranging from high net worth individuals to stay at home parents as well as pro per litigants through her non-profit work. In each scenario no matter the client I have prided myself in providing the same level of care, attention, and advocacy to each person that has sought her assistance. I have had the privilege to advocate for her clients in a wide variety of family law matters from the drafting of prenuptial agreements, working with parties to mediate and resolve their issues while avoiding court, as well as litigating contested issues. Prior to opening my firm I worked at one of Orange Counties most prestigious and well known family law firms for almost 7 years where I gained a wealth of experience while working on a wide range of cases with varying facts and legal issues. I have been committed to this field and helping survivors of domestic violence ever since college where I volunteered and worked at a local non-profit providing legal resources for the under served population in relation to domestic violence and sexual assault cases. I have continued my commitment to public service in Orange County, CA through volunteer work with Human Options where I have aided survivors of domestic violence in navigating the complex court process and procedures since 2010. While in law school I interned at Amnesty International in their Stop Violence Against Women Project. Upon graduating from law school, I was awarded the Center for Children’s Rights Certificate, Trial and Appellate Practice Certificate, and Criminal Law Certificate due to her course work and active participation in the schools competitive Trial Advocacy Honors Board. In the summer of 2016 I was asked, while pregnant, to serve as an Adjunct Law Professor for Whittier Law School where I taught a course titled “California Child Custody” to American Law Students studying abroad in China. The course, “California Child Custody”, was a practicum course which provided practical insight along with actual legal training and education to law students interested in practicing in the area of Family Law upon graduation. In my spare time I enjoy going on hikes, re-living my glory days watching others play water polo, jumping into (virtually) any body of water, spending time with my husband, watching our baby girl grow-up, and the company of friends.
