About Melanie Tavare

Melanie Tavare has helped numerous businesses, individuals and couples achieve a fresh start through productive and constructive steps. For the honest but unfortunate Debtor she understands the need to negotiate debt settlement – either by eliminating the debt through Chapter 7, or by developing a plan through Chapter 13 to pay all or part of their debts. Melanie’s strong reputation is evidenced by her standing and selection as a rising star within the Northern California Super Lawyers (a rating service of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement). In addition, she has earned strong testimonials that have stated she is knowledgeable and responsive to her client’s many questions, achieving positive results. Melanie has cultivated solid relationships with bankruptcy trustees and trustee attorneys, which improves the bankruptcy process. Being a published contributing author of Chapter 7 Consumer Bankruptcy Strategies – Leading Lawyers on Filing Chapter 7 Cases in Today’s Consumer Bankruptcy Climate (2015 Publication), she understands the importance of detailing the different needs and appropriate steps for every client. Melanie focuses on your personal needs and offers the most competitive prices, which is an advantage to you during difficult financial times. #TaxProfessional. Melanie Tavare won a complex tax dischargability case in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals against the Franchise Tax Board of California, composing the winning brief and personally arguing the case before the Ninth Circuit. Due to this landmark decision, thousands of people within multiple states are now able to discharge tax debt that they were previously unable to. This is a prime example of Melanie’s dedication and she is fearless – standing her ground against creditors, fighting for your legal rights. Her financial background is a valuable asset in evaluating tax obligations, acquiring improper lien releases, reducing or eliminating tax liabilities, and effectively representing clients whose cases heavily rely on complex financial statements and tax returns. Melanie’s other great passion is being the best mother she can be to her two young children. She and her husband are dedicated to providing them with as many opportunities for a positive growth as possible. Some of Melanie’s favorite activities are enjoying long family walks with their two dogs at Lake Chabot, visiting the neighborhood splash park and cooking. Melanie is also an avid writer, currently writing a children’s book and Sci-Fi novel.
