Stone, Esq., P.C., where she worked for over a decade handling complex custody matters and divorce litigation (and where she remains Of Counsel to the firm). Previously, Melissa worked as a law clerk at a large corporate firm in Manhattan, and subsequently interned for a boutique Manhattan matrimonial firm, specializing in high net worth and celebrity divorces. While in law school, Melissa interned for the esteemed Honorable Arthur Diamond, wherein she assisted in over dozens of matrimonial matters. Since 2011, Melissa has been an active and passionate member of the Nassau County Attorney for the Children Panel, through which she is appointed by Supreme Court and Family Court Judges to represent children in Family Court proceedings and Supreme Court custody matters. Through this important panel, Melissa has zealously represented the rights of hundreds of children in Nassau County. Melissa is a well-respected, passionate advocate for her clients. She has been recognized among her peers for her legal skills, achievements and her commitment to her work by numerous journals and advocacy groups. In February 2013, Melissa was named “Young Lawyer of the Month” in the Nassau Lawyer, and she has been named a Rising Star (2015, 2016 and 2017) and a Super Lawyer (2018 and 2019) by New York Super Lawyers Magazine.
