Experienced and Professional Approach.
Our team has years of experience in the workers’ compensation field. But more important than experience is attitude. The team at the Law Offices of Melissa J. Lyons works hard to help our injured worker clients. The team is just a friendly phone call or e-mail away Monday-Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00pm.
You can count on the undivided attention of a team that prizes relationships over profits.
We believe that exceptional client care starts with a supported, inclusive team. As an equal opportunity employer, we foster a collaborative environment where every team member is given the resources and balanced workload necessary to thrive.
When you work with us, you don’t just hire a lawyer, you gain a dedicated support system, including your own assigned case manager working alongside Melissa J. Lyons every step of the way.
Melissa J. Lyons
The Owner – Law Offices of Melissa J. Lyons, Inc.
When Melissa Lyons was around 11 years old, her mother was injured at her accounting job while trying to move a stack of papers. The herniated disc in her low back required five surgeries. The first doctor removed the herniated disc without putting proper support in place. The second surgery removed some of the bad scar tissue that had built up, and the third through fifth surgeries were attempts to correct the first surgery.
Melissa remembers sometimes going without food while her mother was in the workers’ compensation system for her injury. Even though her mother always made sure her children ate first, the temporary disability (TD) checks were not always sent on time and there was only so much they could do with the compensation benefits.
While becoming a lawyer, Melissa worked with defense attorneys and defense hearing representatives. Seeing the other side of workers’ compensation made her certain she would rather help injured workers, as opposed to “helping” insurance companies who owe injured workers their rightful benefits.
Because of these experiences, Melissa knows how hard the workers’ compensation system is on both individuals and families. She is here to help you receive what you have a right to receive with honesty, integrity, and compassion.
