Experience and Qualifications

Attorney Melissa R. Lipchak has been practicing law for over twenty years, with more than half of that time spent representing individuals injured by the negligence of others. In 2007, she opened her own practice in Reynoldsburg, where she continues to focus on providing ethical representation and achieving the best results possible for her clients.

Laws and Court Decisions

We stay up-to-date on the latest laws and court decisions that affect your rights. For example, in 2007, the Ohio Supreme Court decided that statutes limiting your rights to recover damages were constitutional. These statutes put caps on the amount of noneconomic and punitive damages an injured person could recover, regardless of the amount the jury awarded.

In 2015, the case of Sivit v. Village Green of Beechwood illustrated the application of these limits on damages. Our office closely follows these developments and how they may affect your case.

Ramblings of Melissa Rose

In our Ramblings of Melissa Rose section, we provide insights and updates on various legal topics. These include discussions on tort reform, how to dispute errors on your credit report, and the importance of having a health care power of attorney and living will.

Legal Crazy Quilt

Our Legal Crazy Quilt section highlights interesting and important legal cases and developments. For example, in 2016, attorneys from The Ohio Innocence Project and the Ohio Public Defender's Office successfully argued that a statutory proceeding for appealing a denial of an application for post-conviction DNA testing was unconstitutional. This decision was a significant victory for individuals who have been wrongly convicted.
