Admitted to the Florida Bar in 2005, she has built a diverse legal practice that addresses many client needs. Her office is situated at 9084 Redonda Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33496, where she provides legal services that include visa petitions, deportation defense, contract negotiations, and intellectual property matters. In addition to her legal practice, Ms. Melzer is pursuing a Ph.D. in Comparative Studies: Design, Aesthetics, and the Arts at Florida Atlantic University, with an expected completion date in 2023.

Her doctoral research is focused on aesthetics within feminist and post-structuralist frameworks. She explores the intersections of art and science, feminism, energetics, consciousness, law, and exhibition curation. This interdisciplinary approach enriches her understanding of the legal field, particularly in areas that intersect with cultural and artistic expression. Ms. Melzer earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law in 2005. Shortly after, she expanded her legal credentials by being admitted to the New York Bar on November 20, 2006, as recorded by the New York State Unified Court System. This dual licensure allows her to serve clients in both Florida and New York, enhancing her ability to navigate complex legal issues across state lines.

Her expertise in immigration law includes representing clients at various legal stages—from initial consultations to litigation and appeals—demonstrating her knowledge of the legal process. Before establishing her own practice, Ms. Melzer worked at Wildes & Weinberg P.C. in New York City, where she developed her skills in immigration law. This background gave her the tools necessary to advocate for her clients. Additionally, she has taken an active role in curating exhibitions, including a notable 2020 exhibition at Florida Atlantic University's University Galleries that commemorated women's suffrage. Such projects reflect her commitment to community engagement and the promotion of cultural awareness.

Ms. Melzer is a member of both the Florida Bar and the New York State Bar Association, further solidifying her professional standing.
