I am a proud first generation college student and a first generation American-born citizen. My parents immigrated to the U.S early in their lives, and I empathize with the immigrant community. I have seen first hand what the implications of being the U.S. without unlawful status or permanent residency, so I understand the emotional lives that immigrants often live. I strive to give back to the largely Latino community that I come from, whether that be in criminal defense or immigration settings. I attended Williams College for undergrad, which is among the best liberal arts schools in the nation. I continued my education at University of La Varne College of Law, where I excelled and graduated as valedictorian. I have a strong background in legal writing and editing, as I was Editor-in-Chief of the La Verne Law Review. When advocating for my clients, I keep their interests and needs at the forefront of my mind. I offer a judgment-free and professional relationship with every client, regardless of their criminal accusation or immigration background.

I'm Melanie Ramos, and I am an attorney based in San Diego, California.  With over 6 years of experience in the legal field (first as a paralegal, and now an attorney), I understand that when you are in that very dark place we all find ourselves in from time to time, you need someone who will not only tell you that everything will be alright, but also exactly why it will be alright.  You need someone who can break a situation down for you and explain it in a way that you can understand, and that allows you to make the right decision for yourself and your loved ones.I have helped to reunite families against great odds, and helped victims of international torture not only find safety in the United States, but also to become productive and thriving members of society.  I have also helped to protect victims of domestic violence, as well as assisted troubled spouses in finding their way out of abusive marriages and onto better, happier lives.I have helped to make permanent residents out of immigrants, and U.S. citizens out of residents.  I also helped to save a child’s college fund when the money became disputed during her parents’ divorce.  I have also helped to train church leaders on how to respond when their parishioners confide in them their immigration problems, as they so often do.My legal career so far has been an amazing and rewarding journey, and I hope that you will allow me to continue to be of service by helping you to overcome your own legal challenges.  Let me help you get to where you need to be.

I love what I do.  Whether a client needs help with the U.S. immigration system, or whether a client has had an accident, or whether the maze of family court is the challenge, I believe in helping others in gaining access to justice.. Having lived in four different countries and three continents, moving at early age to Germany from Iran, I learned that all humans are equal.  What defines us is the care for one another and the harmony we create.. I do not consider my job a source of income, I consider it my passion.  That is why I am available at times when many are not, and that is why I respond to clients very quickly, and that is why I make it my mission to get clients best possible results.  My mission in life is to help and contribute.
