Melanie Maria Amaral

I pursued a career in law because people often seek attorneys when they are experiencing trying times in their lives and it is extremely rewarding to help people navigate complicated issues while providing support and empathy.
I have a passion for family law because of my interest in familial relationships and their complexities. As a student attorney in law school working in a family advocacy clinic, I represented domestic violence victims and helped them access justice.
Now as a new associate at Donovan O'Connor & Dodig, I am privileged to work in other areas of law as well. I am excited for the relationships I will build within the Berkshire Community.
