Melody Parman

I am a managing partner at Avrek Law Firm and have dedicated my career to serving as a personal injury trial attorney. From an early age, I was drawn to debate, advocacy, and leadership—interests that naturally led me to the practice of law. While attending UCLA, I served as President of the Political Science Club and competed on the Model United Nations team, experiences that strengthened my abilities in public speaking, research, and analytical thinking. I earned my Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law in San Diego, completing the traditional three-year program in two years. Since my admission to the California Bar in 2010, I have focused exclusively on personal injury law, where I am committed to giving a voice to those harmed by negligence.

Throughout my career, I have secured significant recoveries for my clients, including some of the largest settlements in California history. These results include a $45 million settlement for a severely injured minor, a $42.75 million recovery for a traumatic brain injury caused by improper U-Haul maintenance, and a $27 million settlement for a motorcyclist that exceeded the applicable policy limits. My work in complex, high-value cases has led to national recognition, including Top 40 Under 40 Trial Attorneys, Top 25 Woman Trial Attorneys in California, Top 100 Trial Attorneys in the Nation by The National Trial Lawyers, and ten consecutive years of recognition by Super Lawyers from 2016 through 2025.

I have also been recognized by the United States Department of Defense as a Patriotic Employer for contributing to national security and protecting liberty. I am an active member of the California Applicants Attorneys Association, Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, the American Association for Justice, and the Million and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. I am proud to have contributed to Avrek Law’s recovery of more than $2 billion for injured clients.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy traveling, staying active through fitness, yoga, and hiking, and exploring my passion for food and cooking. I remain engaged in politics and current events, which informs my perspective as an advocate. My commitment to fairness—especially when representing children and families—drives my work. Practicing alongside my mother, sisters, nieces, and close friends strengthen my sense of responsibility, while my husband, our two children, and our dogs, remind me every day why protecting and supporting my clients as if they were my own is important to me.
