Meet our staff
The attorneys do the legal work. The people on this page keep the office running smoothly: they take your call, support the attorneys on their files, and take care of the records and paperwork that every case depends on.
At Apple Street Law Office P.L.C. you are more than a number, and the first person you speak to is part of that.
Melinda J. Rodgers keeps the office running smoothly.
Melinda is a legal assistant with Apple Street Law Office P.L.C. She provides a wide range of support for our clients, attorneys and others around her. She is one of the first points of contact with the firm, and she takes that role very seriously. Each day she is motivated by the opportunity to help people, and to meet new and interesting challenges.
She has been with the firm since 2004 and is an integral part of the team. Melinda helped to form the Barry County Legal Assistants, a group of legal assistants in the area who get together monthly for educational lunches. She has been a licensed Michigan State Notary since 2011.
She handles work for all the firm’s attorneys in
- i.Estate Administration
- ii.Bankruptcy
- iii.Divorce
- iv.Criminal Law
- v.Social Security Appeals
Laurie does remarkable work you may never see.
Laurie is a part-time assistant whose “behind-the-scenes” work is remarkable. Although you may only catch her from time to time, that is no representation of how much she actually does. She handles everything from advertising to record keeping.
Good records are what let an attorney pick up your file and know where things stand, so the quiet work counts as much as the courtroom work.
One number reaches the front office.
You do not need to know which attorney you need before you call. Say what is going on and the office will point you to the right person.
