Firm: Melinda Young Law, LLC

1 East 30th Avenue , Hutchinson , Kansas 67502

Practice Areas: Car Accidents

The best way to get to know me is to know why I am a lawyer. I did not grow up knowing I wanted to be a lawyer. There were no lawyers in my family, and I did not even know any lawyers. But, as my mother would tell you, two things have always driven me: standing up for anyone that has been hurt or treated unfairly, and the desire to correct an injustice in order to pave the way for a better future.. Once I discovered that as a lawyer, I could stand up for people that have been hurt and treated unfairly, I knew I had found my calling. I am proud to be a lawyer because I believe lawyers can level the playing field and ensure that everyone has a voice, not just those with power.. I was born and raised in Hutchinson, Kansas. After high school, I left Hutchinson and moved around a bit, searching for my passion in life. After several years, I realized that Kansas was my home and Kansans were who I wanted to help the most. I worked full-time for Bretz Law Office as a paralegal while attending college at night. I received my undergraduate degree from Friends University in Wichita, Kansas.. I received my law degree from Washburn University School of Law in Topeka, Kansas. During law school, I became an Editor for the Washburn Law Journal and a published author. I received the John F. Keuther Award for Outstanding Comment for my publication, Discrimination for the Sake of the Children.. After law school, I returned to Hutchinson and Bretz Law Office. In 2013, Matt and I became partners and we changed the firm name to Bretz & Young, LLC.. When I am not working for my clients, I love spending time with my husband and daughter. You can usually find any one of us performing or participating in local theatre. My husband and daughter enjoy acting and singing. I, however, have the most fun performing improv, although I am not holding my breath waiting for Whose Line Is It Anyway? is call.. I am licensed in Kansas and by the United States District Courts in Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Colorado, Illinois and Missouri. I am a member of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association and Kansas Women Attorneys Association. I am currently handling injury cases including car, truck and motorcycle wrecks, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, falls and other injuries on another’s property, inadequate security, nursing home, and wrongful termination.

I feel truly blessed that my work builds families.  As an adoption attorney, I like to say that my role is just a small part of a big blessing.  To be the one who says the words to a couple that makes their eyes well with tears of joy, knowing that their life has forever changed, is a gift that humbles me.  (I usually end up in tears too.).

My practice also includes assisted reproductive technology (ART) and surrogacy law.  I understand the complex legal issues that are associated with ART as well as the emotional decisions individuals and families face when considering their fertility options.  I represent clients in gestational and traditional surrogacy arrangements. I am proud to work with a diverse clientele, including traditional and non-traditional families, in order to fulfill their dreams of becoming parents.. My ultimate goal is positive permanency for children. Irepresent foster families and individuals in private Child in Need of Care (CINC) proceedings to foster the child's best interests.  Disagreements often arise regarding the decisions that are made on behalf of a child in CINC matters, and litigation may become necessary.

That's what drives us to work hard every single day - helping car accident victims and their families get their lives back on track.. The best way to get to know me and find out why I love being a trial lawyer at Bretz Injury Law is to understand where I come from. I grew up with a single mother and three sisters and spent a lot of time with my grandparents. An inquisitive kid, my mom and grandparents pushed and challenged me, helping me develop a passion for learning. With their support, I got my first job at the age of 11, earned the rank of Eagle Scout by 13, and graduated college and started teaching classical and quantum physics at Kansas State University by the age of 20.. One of the side jobs I did as a kid was yard work for a local retired lawyer. I didn’t know what lawyers did, but I admired this man and wanted to be like him. Physics and teaching intrigued me, but I could not get the idea of being a lawyer out of my mind.. I think there are three primary things that have made me who I am as a trial lawyer. The first was an opportunity to get out of Kansas and attend Pepperdine University School of Law in California on a scholarship. I didn’t realize the importance of it at the time, but I received an education from one of the top law schools in the country. For me – a small-town Kansas boy – this was an eye-opening and horizon-expanding experience.. The second career-defining opportunity was lucking into a job during law school with the Los Angeles firm of Erin Brockovich, Delta Force II, and The Twilight Zone fame, Engstrom Lipscomb & Lack. At Pepperdine I learned “the law,” but at EL&L I learned how to be a trial lawyer, litigating aviation and catastrophic injury cases from around the globe.. The third, and by far the most formative event in my life, occurred on Valentine’s Day in 1992. On that day my 16-year-old sister, Marlee, and two of her friends were delivering baskets of flowers when their car was struck by a train, instantly killing all three of the girls. Going through that devastation with my family at the time and in the years since has given me a personal understanding of the crushing pain suffered by those who have lost a loved one. Since then I have devoted both my professional and personal life to helping those who have been seriously injured or who have lost a loved one, and to making the community a safer and better place to live.. My professional and personal lives bleed together. I am on the National Board of Directors for MADD with the singular goal of bringing an end to the mayhem caused by drunk and drugged drivers. I also volunteer time with the United Way, Red Cross, Interfaith Housing, ABATE, and the Training and Evaluation Center of Hutchinson.. Even after 30 years I still enjoy teaching. As a trial lawyer I get to teach juries, insurance companies, and sometimes even defense experts. To help other trial lawyers improve their skills and get better results for their clients, I teach trial lawyers across the country – from Seattle to Atlanta and every place in between - at the Keenan Trial Institute. I’ve also been able to teach through the local community college, the Boy Scouts, and Sunday School.. I handle motor vehicle, premises liability, dangerous and defective product, and nursing home cases. I’ve been fortunate to receive accolades from CNN, Martindale-Hubbell, and AVVO. But the recognition most dear to me was a handwritten note from a client saying: “You treat me like your only client, and I so appreciate that.”. My wife of 29 years, Amy, and I have two compassionate and driven daughters, Lauren and Hannah. Lauren has a master’s degree in speech pathology and is currently in law school at KU. Hannah is in law school in New York.
