Practice Areas: Family
Mercedes attended law school at the University of Florida starting in January 1995 as a single mother and finished law school in two and a half years.  To her surprise, she wasn’t the only “non-traditional” law student and she rapidly became a huge Gator fan!  After graduating in May 1997 from UF, Mercedes and her son returned to Central Florida.  Her son, Alex, graduated Winter Park High School and is now a graduate of the fire academy.  Mercedes is very involved in the arts community, and balances the stress of practicing law with running and yoga.Law is a second career for Mercedes.  After growing up in Central Florida, attending high school and college here in Orlando, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the University of Central Florida in 1985.  Mercedes worked mostly in the military defense industry for the next 10 years.   But going to law school was always in the back or her mind.  When a dear friend died of cancer at 36 years old, Mercedes decided she could no longer ignore what she really wanted to do. Mercedes worked in the areas of products liability, commercial litigation, insurance defense, government defense and charter schools.   In 2001, a yoga teacher approached Mercedes about helping her with a divorce.  Although she did not practice in that area, with the assistance of another attorney, she took the case.  Through that experience, Mercedes realized that family law was what she wanted to practice.  She went out on her own full-time in 2002 and never looked back!Mercedes R. Wechsler, P.A. handles all areas of family law, including dissolution of marriage, modifications, alimony, child custody, paternity, relocation, contempt and enforcement, prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, complex asset valuation.  In addition, Mercedes is a guardian ad litem and handles dependency matters.  What makes her firm unique is Mercedes and her staff care about the long term future of the clients and their children.  Mercedes and her staff pride themselves on maintaining a constant line of communication with the clients.  Phone calls and emails are always responded to within 24 hours.  Always a strong advocate, Mercedes will also look for a solution that preserves a reasonable relationship between the parties especially if they have children.  When necessary, Mercedes is prepared to aggressively litigate the matter all the way through trial.  Mercedes ensures her clients are apprised about “the good, the bad and the ugly” so they can make an informed decision about their future.   She and her staff recognize that her clients are going through some of the most difficult emotional situations they will ever have to face.  Mercedes does her very best to make sure at the end of the case, the client is in a better place than when they first walked through her door.

Melanie Branch

Firm: Ghantous & Branch, PLLC
1527 E Concord St , Orlando , Florida 32803
Practice Areas: Family
Melanie joined the legal profession to help give a voice to those who cannot articulate their rights and assist those who were unaware of the steps to take to protect their rights.  Her goal is to represent you zealously, assist you in obtaining your objective and fight for your rights.  Melanie understands that facing a legal issue can be a very emotionally draining experience and wants to assist you in attacking your legal issue.. Melanie was born in the Bronx, New York.  After graduating from Cardinal Spellman High School, she attended Colgate University in Hamilton, New York where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy.  Before attending law school, Melanie worked for a real estate law firm in White Plains, New York.  She then went on to pursue her Juris Doctorate at Barry University School of Law in Orlando, Florida.  Immediately after completing law school, Melanie was admitted to the Florida Bar.  Upon being admitted to the Florida Bar, Melanie worked for a private law firm practicing in many areas of law and worked her way from being an associate attorney to lead attorney who trained many new attorneys at the firm.  In November 2014, Melanie and her business partner, Ryan Ghantous, formed Ghantous & Branch, PLLC in Orlando, Florida.  She practices in many areas of law including Foreclosure Defense, Consumer Law, Commercial Law, Bankruptcy, Personal Injury, Landlord Tenant Law, Asset Protection, Appellate Work, and Civil Litigation.. On a personal note, Melanie was drafting letters to the NBA Commissioner arguing the injustices she saw on the screen at ten years old, while other girls her age were playing with nail polish and braiding their hair.  Clearly, for Melanie fighting for the right cause is not just a job but a way of life, ask any of her loved ones.

Many attorneys will surprisingly shy away from the prospect of trial. I embrace the idea as part of my strategy. If opposing counsel knows you are ready to move aggressively forward, they will often be more inclined to make a better offer to avoid trial.
