About Melissa
Melissa Lanouette built her path to law in New England. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Salem State College in 2007 and completed her J.D. at Suffolk University Law School in 2012. Those years framed her transition from student to lawyer and rooted her professional life in Massachusetts.
After law school she remained in the state where she studied. Her work has centered on civil litigation on behalf of people harmed in accidents and related disputes. Over time she developed courtroom and negotiation experience handling claims that arise out of everyday hazards on roads and private property.
Lanouette practices at Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers. At the firm she works on personal injury matters, including motor vehicle collisions and premises liability claims. Her caseload spans pre-litigation investigations, drafting pleadings, and preparing cases for dispositive motion practice or trial. She also conducts client interviews and coordinates with experts when cases require medical or engineering analysis.
Her professional affiliations include membership in the Massachusetts Bar Association. She maintains active ties to the local bar and uses those connections to stay current on changes in state procedure and evidence law. Colleagues describe her as methodical in case preparation and direct in courtroom settings.
Clients tend to reach out when an accident has produced medical bills, lost time from work, or long-term impairment. Lanouette approaches each file with an emphasis on clear communication. She explains legal options in plain language, outlines realistic timelines, and sets expectations about outcomes. She prepares matters to be heard by a judge or a jury when necessary, but she also pursues negotiated resolutions that avoid protracted litigation when those agreements serve a client’s interests.
In her current role at Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers, Lanouette continues to handle personal injury litigation and related client advocacy in Massachusetts. She practices personal injury law at Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers, where her work centers on representing injured people in Massachusetts.
