Defending Your Rights with Steadfast Advocacy.

​Signified Law is owned and operated by attorney Melanie Tardell. Melanie is a fierce advocate of those whose legally protected rights have been violated, especially as it relates to violations in the workplace and the service industry as a result of Covid-19 policies. She has teamed up with a network of gifted California attorneys to combine efforts in the fight to sustain our constitutional rights in the wake of the pandemic.

Melanie was on a different life and career path when fate stepped in and the legal profession found her. After overcoming her own legal challenges, largely due to an attorney's advocacy, Melanie felt called to become a lawyer herself. Her experience as a client gives her an insightful perspective on what clients face while her education provides an understanding of the legal attributes of each case. Having genuine empathy, a knack for research and writing, and a tenacious spirit, Melanie aims to advocate for and empower each client by helping them navigate their case and move beyond adversity.
