Associate Attorney

Melody Grover

Melody Grover grew up in the California Bay Area prior to attending California State University, Sacramento. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice. She obtained a Juris Doctorate from Lincoln Law School in Sacramento, California.

 

After graduation, Ms. Grover opened a law office in San Diego practicing criminal defense for close to 25 years. She joined Private Conflicts Counsel, and later the Office of Assigned Counsel. Ms. Grover tried many misdemeanor and felony cases, including three strikers and those facing life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Domestic violence is often the dominant issue in dissolution and custody cases. Domestic violence claims occur simply to obtain an advantage in the custody of the children. Often these allegations have become a sword to use against another parent which affects their lives, employment, and the future of their children. If a domestic violence claim is true, Melody pursues those claims aggressively and has a party protected immediately.

In custody issues, Ms. Grover believes in fighting for what is in the best interest of the children. She knows that having both parents in their life will ultimately enrich the adult they grow into.

Melody’s favorite pastime is spending time with her 4 children, 3 grandchildren, and Siberian Husky as well as swimming.
