For those new to our page, meet Criminal Defense Attorney Dan Melnick!
- His friends call him Dan and he was born in Santa Monica and spent his childhood in the San Fernando Valley.
- He attended UCLA and received his bachelor’s degree there in 1975. That same summer, he helped a friend build a sixty-foot cement sailboat and joined him for its maiden voyage to Hawaii, a three-month journey of over 2500 miles!
-He attended University of San Fernando Valley School of Law and obtained his J.D. in 1979 and passed the bar exam that same year.
- He started out in labor law, but after trying a criminal case that had been referred to him, he realized that criminal defense was his true vocation.
- He is an avid hockey player and has played in several different countries around the world!
- He has taken on thousands of criminal cases from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies and has made it his mission to protect the proverbial little guy (or gal) from overzealous government prosecutors and a criminal justice system that is often unfairly biased against defendants.
